West Asia war threatens Dubai property handovers with 6 to 9 month delays for thousands of units

West Asia war threatens Dubai property handovers with 6 to 9 month delays for thousands of units

The West Asia conflict is reshaping Dubai’s fast-moving property pipeline, with developers warning of 6 to 9 month handover delays driven by disrupted imports, cost overruns, and tighter bank financing. Of roughly 45,000 units targeted for 2026 handovers in Dubai, about half are now expected to move into 2027 or beyond. Construction costs have climbed nearly 30%, ports remain open but shipping services are rerouted, and many projects still sit early in the build phase. Financing tied to escrow is getting harder to access as banks raise underwriting standards.
