The two parties aim to contribute towards the growth of the real estate sector in Dubai
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Dubai Development Authority (DDA) recently entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation and coordination between the two organisations. The primary goal of this agreement is to align their efforts towards realising Dubai’s vision and strategy and promote the public interest. By expanding the range of collaborative initiatives, both parties aim to contribute to the growth and stability of the real estate sector in Dubai.
Majid Al Marri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration sector at DLD, and Bader Al Gergawi, Deputy Director General of Urban Planning and Development at the DDA, witnessed the signing of the MoU. Both parties have agreed to establish a robust information exchange system to seamlessly integrate their respective technologies to benefit customers. This integration will encompass the sharing of plot data, including developer and owner information, the exchange of location map documents and the sharing of details from the building completion certificate. The MoU further emphasises the importance of collaboration to successfully implement key Dubai government initiatives, such as the Unified Location Map.
Al Marri said, “The signing of the new MoU with the Dubai Development Authority reflects the significant role played by the real estate sector in Dubai. As a major pillar supporting various industries and a key contributor to the emirate’s GDP, it is crucial to collaborate with our partners from both the public and private sectors. This collaboration aims to maximise the sector’s impact in supporting the future direction of the emirate and achieving the goals outlined in Dubai’s economic agenda D33. Additionally, we focus on enhancing the customer experience and delivering proactive services that foster increased confidence in the real estate sector.”
Badr Al Gergawi said, “This memorandum aligns with our strategy, which seeks to foster ongoing cooperation and coordination with other government entities. The primary objective is to streamline and simplify procedures, promoting best practices in collaborative government efforts. By developing joint applications, we aim to establish a platform for efficient data exchange and ensure accuracy. This endeavour will lead to improved services and proactive measures that benefit customers in the real estate sector, ultimately enhancing the emirate’s competitiveness.”
He further added, “The cooperation between the entities will play a crucial role in solidifying Dubai’s position in the global economy. The primary objective is to enhance the leadership of government services, thereby supporting the ongoing efforts to realise the 360 services policy. The Dubai Development Authority is actively working towards enhancing its services to align with the policy’s requirements, emphasising the importance of introduction and continuous improvement. Through this collaborative effort, integrated and seamless services will be provided to customers, facilitated by the interlinking of data and applications between the two parties.”
