On July 5th, 2025, Al Hamra unveiled Aila Homes, a thoughtfully planned residential community offering 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom townhouses in the heart of Ras Al Khaimah. In just a matter of weeks, more than 75% of the 200 units have already been sold, signaling not only the popularity of the development, but also the surging demand for townhouses and the increasing investor confidence in RAK’s thriving real estate market.
Why Townhouses Are in High Demand
Townhouses are fast becoming the ideal middle ground between apartment living and stand-alone villas—providing privacy, space, and a community setting at a more accessible price point. Aila Homes taps into this very demand, offering spacious layouts, nature-integrated living, and connectivity to the Al Hamra ecosystem, making it attractive for both end-users and investors.
But this trend is not isolated.
According to CBRE’s Ras Al Khaimah Real Estate Market Review 2025, residential prices surged by 39% year-on-year in Q1 2025, with a particularly strong demand for family-centric homes like townhouses and villas. As people seek more meaningful living environments—close to nature yet connected—townhouses are becoming the preferred choice for mid- to upper-income families.
📈 RAK Real Estate Market: A Magnet for Investors
Aila Homes’ early success mirrors a broader story unfolding in Ras Al Khaimah.
Over AED 2.4 billion in off-plan residential sales were recorded in early 2025.
Branded residences from global names like Four Seasons, Nobu, and Ritz-Carlton are entering the market, adding prestige and pushing price benchmarks upward.
Residential rentals also rose sharply: apartment rents increased by 20.8%, while villa rents climbed by 5.3% in Q1 2025 alone.
This rapid appreciation is attracting a wave of domestic and international investors looking for high-yield and long-term growth opportunities outside the saturated Dubai and Abu Dhabi markets.
Economic Momentum Driving Real Estate
RAK’s economy is diversifying at an accelerated pace, creating new jobs, attracting new businesses, and driving housing demand.
The emirate’s GDP is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate through 2027, supported by tourism, real estate, manufacturing, and logistics.
New businesses continue to register through RAKEZ (Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone) and RAK DED, attracted by ease of doing business, low operating costs, and a high quality of life.
Major developments like Wynn Al Marjan Island (scheduled for 2027) have placed RAK on the global investment map, especially among international HNWIs.
Tourism Boom Fuels Short-Term Rentals
RAK's appeal as a destination is growing rapidly:
1.3 million tourists visited Ras Al Khaimah in 2024.
The emirate aims to reach 3 million visitors annually by 2030, backed by new resorts, adventure tourism, and world-class attractions.
Over 28 new hotels—80% of them luxury—are expected to open by 2030.
This creates a vibrant short-term rental market where properties like Aila Homes can be positioned as high-yield rental assets for holiday lets, staycations, and business travel accommodations.
