The Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MBRHE) has officially started giving new homes to UAE citizens under the Al Khawaneej 1050 Villas Project. This step follows the direction of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. His goal is to make sure that citizens live in safe, modern, and community-friendly homes.
These new villas are designed to offer high-quality and eco-friendly housing that suits the needs of today’s Emirati families. The houses reflect modern styles but still keep the essence of traditional Emirati design.
His Excellency Mohammad Hassan AlShehhi, who is currently the Acting CEO of MBRHE, shared that starting the handover is a big step in their journey to build strong, family-friendly communities in Dubai. He said the project is part of a bigger plan to improve people’s lives and help families stay together in a good environment.

He explained that the homes were planned using the latest ideas in city design and built using smart systems. Every step—from planning to construction to handing over the keys—has been done using a fully digital process. This means people don’t have to deal with paperwork, which saves time and effort.
AlShehhi added that the whole process is now fast, clear, and safe, thanks to the use of digital tools. This new way of working also shows that the government is focused on giving better services and earning the trust of the public. He said that sustainability is not just about building homes, but also about making sure that systems work well and are easy to use.
He also said that future projects from MBRHE will use even more new ideas and will be even more flexible, keeping up with Dubai’s goals for smart and eco-friendly cities.
People who are getting homes in the Al Khawaneej 1050 Villas Project have been asked to finish any final steps through the MBRHE’s digital platform. There are support teams ready to help them if they need it.
The Al Khawaneej 1050 Villas Project is one of the main housing efforts by MBRHE. It fits into the bigger Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. The goal is to build neighborhoods that bring people together, raise the quality of life, and create a strong future for Emirati families.
