UAE-based real estate developer BNW Developments plans to develop around 10,000 homes across Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah over the next four years. The developer intends to expand their footprint in the UAE, with Indian investors emerging as a key contributor to its growth strategy.
The company said Indian buyers accounted for about 14.38% of its total business during the first half of 2026, underpinning India as one of its largest overseas markets. BNW Developments shared its expansion plans at its Global Partners Meet held in Gurugram, with over 2,000 channel partners and real estate professionals in attendance from across the country.
BNW currently has 12 developments under various stages across Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, spanning branded residences, hospitality-led projects, mixed-use developments and masterplanned communities. The company expects project handovers to commence from 2027. In Ras Al Khaimah, BNW is developing projects on Al Marjan Island, including the Al Marjan Beach District, and in RAK Central, while in Dubai it is expanding its portfolio of branded residences across key growth areas.
“India is not simply an important source market for BNW it is a strategic partner in our growth journey. The contribution of Indian buyers reflects the confidence they place in the UAE as an investment destination and in developers that offer credibility, transparency and long-term value.”
Dr. (CA) Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder, BNW Developments
The company mentions Indian high-net-worth individuals, non-resident Indians, entrepreneurs and professionals are increasingly considering UAE real estate for portfolio diversification. Their intentions are driven by rental yields, long-term capital appreciation, global connectivity and the country’s transparent regulatory framework.
According to BNW, buyers are also placing greater emphasis on a developer’s execution capability, project quality, location and long-term credibility while making investment decisions.
To strengthen its engagement with Indian investors, the company will be expanding its network of channel partners across India and working with real estate advisors to support buyers through project evaluation, transactions and regulatory processes. BNW’s portfolio includes collaborations with hospitality and lifestyle brands such as Taj, Tonino Lamborghini, FashionTV, Wyndham and Radisson Blu.
