Splendido Appartamento Sul Lungomare DI Dorchester Collection

Christie’s International Real Estate Dubai’s office at the landmark Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is a bespoke marketing suite — a move that bolsters our market coverage and reach to high-net-worth individuals and international corporations.

Inaugurated in 2004, DIFC is the definitive global financial centre in the Middle East and South Asia (MEASA), with a two-decade track record of facilitating trade and investment flows in a region that comprises over 70 countries and approximately three billion people.

DIFC’s status as a leading economic free zone also means registered companies enjoy no income tax, 100% foreign ownership and an internationally recognised, independent regulator. These advantages have attracted not just the world’s premier financial institutions, but also leading family offices and firms. Always at the forefront of corporate innovation, the zone is also enacting new laws to make it a global centre for the virtual assets sector.

Crucially, the area also offers comprehensive luxury living. Some of the city’s most elite restaurants, retail stores and lifestyle destinations call DIFC home.

These factors ensure that the local and global rich flock to the area, making it the perfect location to expand our luxury real estate services from. We regularly host exclusive events here for our most discerning clients, as well as corporate partners and leading industry figures. It is also where we showcase some of our most high-end properties and developments.

Naturally, luxury homes surrounding the area are among the city’s most prized addresses, enjoying price rises and demand, particularly in the post-pandemic era.

Christie’s International Real Estate Dubai at DIFC is increasingly becoming the real estate purveyor of choice for high-net-worth individuals and multinational firms operating in the area — a leading centre of business in Dubai — as well as the ultra-wealthy from across the broader MEASA region.
