Dubai continues to invest heavily in transport infrastructure, directly affecting the attractiveness of residential areas. The new bridge is 1.5 km longthat will connect Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Harbour, should be opened this year and will become one of the key infrastructure projects for waterfront locations.

Shorter travel times as a factor in demand growth

According to RTA, once the bridge is put into operation, the travel time between the city's central highway and Dubai Harbour will be reduced 12 to 3 minutes. This is a critical factor for the real estate market.

Good transport accessibility directly affects:

• growth in demand for home purchases;
• increasing rental attractiveness;
• the liquidity of properties on the secondary market;
• interest from investors and end customers.

Dubai Harbour as a promising area for investment

Dubai Harbour is actively being formed as premium marine cluster, which combines accommodation, tourism, marina and cruise infrastructure. Location between Palm Jumeirah et Bluewaters makes the area especially attractive for buyers who are focused on the waterfront lifestyle.

The development of transport links strengthens the district's position and supports the growth of real estate values as key infrastructure facilities are completed.

The impact of the bridge on projects Dubai Harbour Residences

The launch of the bridge coincides with the implementation of the project Dubai Harbour Residences, which includes about 7,500 apartments. The improved connection to Sheikh Zayed Road makes such projects more convenient for permanent living and renting, especially for those who work in the city's central districts.

For investors, this means reducing the transport “discount”, which previously could curb demand, and moving the district to the category of fully connected waterfront locations.

Why infrastructure is a key driver of Dubai's real estate market

Dubai's development history shows that large transport projects almost always become catalysts for the growth of property values in the surrounding areas. The new bridge in Dubai Harbour — another example of how infrastructure enhances the investment attractiveness of residential projects.

Conclusion: Dubai Harbour reaches a new level of accessibility

The opening of a new bridge between Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai Harbour will be an important step in developing the district as one of Dubai's key waterfront destinations. For buyers and investors, this means a more convenient location, increased demand and the potential for higher property values in the medium and long term.
