Huspy Acquires LuxuryX to Accelerate UAE Real Estate Expansion

Huspy has acquired Dubai-based boutique brokerage LuxuryX as the company prepares to launch a dedicated luxury property business targeting high-net-worth buyers and international investors.

The acquisition will bring LuxuryX’s team of specialist property consultants into Huspy’s UAE operations, strengthening its presence in the premium residential segment.

Founded by Patrick Hayden, LuxuryX specialises in personalised representation for buyers and sellers across Dubai’s high-end residential property market.

The expansion comes as the UAE real estate sector continues to record strong transaction growth. Dubai registered AED 252 billion in real estate transactions in the first quarter of 2026, up 31 per cent in value from the same period last year.

Abu Dhabi recorded AED 117 billion in property transaction value during the first half of 2026, according to figures cited by Huspy, while foreign direct investment in the sector increased to AED 13.8 billion.

Patrick Hayden, founder and CEO of LuxuryX, said joining Huspy would provide his team with access to greater technology, infrastructure and international reach.

“LuxuryX was founded on the belief that luxury is defined by the quality of the experience, not simply the value of the property,” Hayden said.

Huspy is also expanding its use of artificial intelligence to support its growth strategy. Its Huspy 2.0 platform brings together property listings, lead management, buyer matching, valuations and market intelligence within a single system for agents.

Mark Castley, CEO of Real Estate at Huspy, said the company’s expansion was being driven by the infrastructure and capabilities it provides to agents, rather than simply increasing headcount.

The LuxuryX acquisition puts Huspy in more direct competition with established luxury brokerages in Dubai, as rising property values continue to attract agents, investors and international real estate brands.

The key test will be whether Huspy can leverage its technology and mortgage capabilities to differentiate its new Huspy Signature offering in an increasingly competitive luxury property market.
