Dubai Metro Blue Line to Boost Property Prices in Silicon Oasis, Creek Harbour, and More
Dubai – Property prices and rental values are expected to rise in key areas like Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Festival City, thanks to the upcoming Blue Line expansion of the Dubai Metro.
The new Metro extension, officially launched this week, will span 30 kilometers and include 14 stations across 9 key zones in the city. This expansion aims to ease traffic, improve public transport connectivity, and further boost real estate values in the connected areas.
Dubai Silicon Oasis Already on the Rise
Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) has already been seeing strong price growth. From the end of 2022 to 2024, apartment prices in the area have soared by up to 80%. Over the past 12 months alone, the average price per square foot has climbed by nearly 50%.
With the Blue Line now confirmed to pass through DSO, experts expect even more demand from buyers and renters. For current property owners, this may be the ideal time to maximize their returns.
Creek Harbour and Festival City Next in Line
The benefits of the Blue Line won’t stop at DSO. Upscale communities like Dubai Creek Harbour and Festival City are also set to gain.
Creek Harbour, developed by Emaar, has already built a reputation as a premium residential destination with a Downtown Dubai feel. Rental prices reflect this, with one-bedroom units listed at AED 100,000 and above, and two-bedroom units going for around AED 140,000.
Real estate experts believe that the new Metro access will further increase interest from high-income tenants and investors alike.
A Smart Move for Investors
Many of the areas connected by the Blue Line already have solid infrastructure and amenities in place. This makes it easier for investors to make informed decisions — whether to enter now and ride the appreciation wave, or exit at a profit.
As construction of the Blue Line moves forward, market watchers advise keeping a close eye on these locations. Improved public transport has historically led to significant gains in property values across Dubai, and this latest expansion is expected to follow the same trend.
