Dubai Holding Real Estate and CBD launch home financing programme

12 June 2026
Scheme offers conventional and Islamic mortgage options to UAE nationals and residents buying properties across the Nakheel, Meraas and Dubai Properties portfolios

Dubai Holding Real Estate (DHRE) has partnered with Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) to introduce a home financing programme for buyers purchasing properties across the Nakheel, Meraas and Dubai Properties portfolios.

The programme is open to UAE nationals and residents, covering both salaried and self-employed buyers acquiring off-plan and completed villas and apartments. It offers both conventional and Islamic financing options, subject to eligibility and approval.

A key feature is the ability to access financing from the 30% construction stage once buyers have met a 50% payment threshold, giving purchasers earlier visibility of their borrowing capacity during the off-plan purchase process.

In May, DHRE entered into a strategic partnership with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) to expand access to sharia-compliant home financing solutions for eligible customers across the Nakheel, Meraas and Dubai Properties portfolios. The partnership introduces a comprehensive sharia-compliant dual-track financing framework for both off-plan and completed handover properties.
