    What constitutes a Unit in Dubai real estate?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A Unit is defined as any flat, shop, office, warehouse, or whole floor that forms part of a Jointly Owned Real Property. This can also include townhouses, independent houses, or designated parts of a land plot. Every Unit is intended for individual ownership and can be used for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. The boundaries of these Units are clearly delineated on a Site Plan approved by the DLD. This clear definition ensures that every owner has legally protected rights over their specific private space.
