Ras Al Khaimah to Add 25,600 New Homes by 2030 as Market Accelerates

Ras Al Khaimah is consolidating its real estate growth trajectory. According to Cavendish Maxwell, one of the region's most established real estate consultancy and valuation firms, the emirate now has 25,600 new residential units in the pipeline through 2030, with apartments accounting for 97% of future supply.

Sales Driven by Off-Plan

In 2025 Ras Al Khaimah's residential sector recorded Dh12.3bn in sales across 6,600 transactions, with sale prices and rents rising considerably. Off-plan continues to dominate the market, accounting for 85% of transactions and Dh11.2bn in sales, confirming investor confidence in projects still under development. More than 40% of the new units arriving over the next four years will be delivered by three names: RAK Properties, Al Hamra Real Estate and Ellington Properties, alongside other developers including Aldar, BNW Developments and Source of Fate Properties.

A Population Growing Faster Than Supply

Behind the pipeline is a solid demographic and economic dynamic: Ras Al Khaimah's population, currently near 450,000, is projected to reach 650,000 by 2030, supported by multi-billion dirham foreign direct investment and a growing number of business licences. That pace of growth makes the current pipeline, however large, far from oversized: it means more product choice for investors entering now, with the ability to select the areas and typologies with the strongest demand before the market fully catches up.
