OCTA Properties Recognised by DLD and RERA for Top Sales in Dubai's Freehold Areas

OCTA Properties, a prominent development management and sales firm in the UAE, has been honoured by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) for its significant contributions to Dubai's real estate sector. The recognition took place at the 22nd edition of the International Property Show (IPS 2026).

Key Recognitions

The company was awarded the title of "Best Selling Real Estate Office in Freehold Areas". Also, Fawaz Sous, Founder and CEO of OCTA Properties, was specifically recognised for achieving the highest number of real estate sales within the "Non-Citizen Firm" category. These accolades acknowledge OCTA's outstanding sales performance and its role in the growth of Dubai's property market.

Market Context

These awards come as Dubai's property market experiences strong activity. DLD figures for Q1 2026 indicate AED 252 billion in real estate transactions, a 31% increase year-on-year. Foreign investment also grew by 26% to AED 148.35 billion, with 29,312 new investors entering the market during the quarter. Despite these robust figures, OCTA leadership noted the cyclical nature of the market, anticipating increased supply, heightened competition, and more discerning buyer behaviour ahead.

OCTA's Integrated Approach

OCTA Properties operates an integrated real estate platform encompassing development, design, marketing, and investments. This comprehensive model allows the company to manage various aspects of the property cycle, from product positioning and pricing to distribution. Through this approach, OCTA has surpassed 9,500 units sold with a total sales value exceeding AED 20 billion, working with over 1,600 brokerage firms and supporting a pipeline of approximately 4,600 units.
