The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has launched a pilot project for real estate tokenization, advancing the use of blockchain in property transactions.
The Dubai government launched the pilot phase of the Real Estate Tokenization Project under the Real Estate Innovation Initiative (REES). The project is being carried out in partnership with the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) through Sandbox Dubai.
According to a press release from the Dubai government, the DLD will be the first real estate registration authority in the Middle East to implement tokenization for property title deeds thanks to this initiative.
“DLD anticipates that this groundbreaking initiative will drive significant growth in the real estate tokenisation sector, with its market value projected to reach AED 60 billion by 2033, representing 7% of Dubai’s total real estate transactions,” the release stated.
Additionally, the DLD hosted a dedicated workshop on real estate tokenization, bringing together prominent property technology firms, including leading global companies specializing in real estate asset tokenization.
His Excellency Engineer Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita, Director General of the Dubai Land Department, emphasized that as technology continues to evolve and digital solutions become more prevalent, real estate tokenization is transforming the industry by introducing a new approach to property ownership and transactions.
“By converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology, tokenisation simplifies and enhances buying, selling, and investment processes. This aligns perfectly with Dubai Land Department’s vision to achieve global leadership in real estate investment, leverage technology to develop innovative real estate products, and foster an ecosystem that supports real estate innovation,” Bin Ghalita said.
Bin Ghalita further clarified that after the pilot phase, the DLD will evaluate the results and use key findings to enhance the project before its full deployment.
Real estate tokenization converts property ownership into digital tokens on a blockchain, enabling fractional ownership and increasing market liquidity. This technology enhances transparency, security, and efficiency by reducing intermediaries and automating transactions through smart contracts. While regulatory challenges remain, tokenization is gaining traction as a modern approach to real estate investment and asset management.
