Indian, Emirati, and Pakistani Investors Lead Surge in UAE’s Fractional Ownership Market

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – October 1, 2025 – Fractional ownership rapidly cements its position as one of the most transformative real estate models in the UAE, opening the door for citizens and residents to invest in their property with greater accessibility and flexibility. New insights from the Prypco block, the UAE’s main fractional ownership platform, reveal a strong convergence of demand across nationalities and age groups, highlighting the rise in the model as a mainstream investment channel.

According to the latest data from Prypco Blocks, Indian investors have the largest share of fractional property owners in the UAE at 37%, followed by 14%, with Pakistanis at 8%. Egyptians (4.4%), Lebanese (3%), Jordanians (2.7%) and British (2.1%) are also powerful.

This mix reflects the multicultural demographics of the UAE and demonstrates the broad appeal of fractional ownership across both expatriates and emiratis. For many, it represents a practical entry point to real estate, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios and overcome traditional barriers such as large-scale downing and complex documents.

This data further highlights generational changes in the UAE real estate market. Investors ages 36-45 accounted for 40%, with 27% on brackets between 26-35 and 20% on brackets between 46-55. The advantage of the age group between 26 and 45 reflects that millennials and mid-career professionals are turning to fractional ownership in real estate and starting to build wealth faster, balancing affordability and long-term financial goals.

Comment on the findings, Amira Sajwani, founder and CEO of Prypco, “Partificial ownership is no longer a gateway to real estate, it redefines the way people view property as an investment, and we see a clear shift towards innovative and flexible models that are consistent with today’s financial ambitions.

Recently, Prypco Blocks announced the first upfront rental guarantee for the UAE on Fractional Property Investments. For the first time in the UAE, fractional real estate investors can receive an annual rental return of 5% and are credited directly to Prypco block wallets within just two months of the property being fully funded.

Additionally, Prypco block announced a 33% reduction in platform admission fees, reducing the fees from 1.5% to just 1%. This additional savings will further improve investors’ returns, and advance rental guarantees will be one of the most profitable real estate investment opportunities in the region.

As these insights show, fractional ownership is restructuring access to property in the UAE, creating opportunities for a wider population to participate in one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets.
