About - MDA

The Malta Development Association (MDA) is the highest body and voice of private Real Estate developers in Malta

MDA brings together the large majority of private real estate developers, estate agents and other interested parties under one single umbrella to act as a potent force bringing about growth and development of this important sector of Malta’s economy. It links private real estate developers to the relevant state authorities and to customers through numerous initiatives and activities and promotes responsible development and ownership of real estate in Malta through legislative advocacy, educational programs and professional networking opportunities. MDA advances responsible, sustainable development that creates jobs and benefits the communities in which its members work and live.

Since 2017, it has formed part of Property Malta Foundation, which is a public-private initiative set up with the main aim of promoting Malta’s lifestyle identity and to position the country as a leading destination of choice for everyone interested in purchasing property in the Mediterranean.

The main aims of MDA are:

To provide a central organisation for real estate developers.
To provide a united front in making recommendations to government on ways of promoting real estate development and in seeking solutions to practical problems in the property market.
To pool resources together towards greater economies of scale in real estate development and also ensure that members conform to national building standards and planning laws.
In the spirit of the search for appropriate technology, the Association shall promote the use of local inputs and finance research into suitability of local building materials.
To liaise with financial institutions in developing more effective development schemes
To establish links with real estate institutions and allied bodies at home and abroad with the aim of promoting and attracting more foreign investment to the industry.

MDA wants to be responsive, respected, responsible and relevant in partnering with the state and national policies to further improve the quality of life in Malta and Gozo.
