As a government-backed entity, the developer has been responsible for shaping many of Dubai's established residential neighbourhoods.

Key communities developed by Dubai Properties include Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) - one of the world's largest single-phase residential developments - Business Bay, Culture Village (Jaddaf Waterfront), Remraam in Dubailand, Serena, Villanova, and Mudon.
