Dubai’s real estate market is thriving and has rapidly become one of the most promising in terms of return on investment. Reasons range from the emirate’s steady economic growth, safe-haven status, and political stability to its resilient property sector and the ease of conducting business there. Globally appealing, the region is a popular destination for ultra-high-net-worth investors around the world.
Indeed, Dubai’s super-prime residential real estate is among the most coveted asset for savvy investors. Offering exceptional locations and meaningful income, affluent individuals and home buyers seeking a luxury lifestyle with the highest living standards view the city as a superior option.
We talked to our partners at Real Choice Real Estate about some of the most tempting and innovative residential towers and gated complexes on the market – some of them built, others off-plan. Indeed, the accolade-winning agency was crowned “Real Estate Brokerage/Agency” in 2022 and 2023 at the Lifestyle Luxury Awards, thanks to their varied portfolio of top-of-the-line private and commercial units, with specifications befitting a deluxe tag. Also playing an important role is the fact their expert brokers have access to a broad network of local and international clients.
Dubai’s booming market
“Dubai topped the list in the recent ranking of the top 25 luxury international real estate markets. The emirate is set to see prices increase by 13.5% in 2023, with foreign buyers and wealthy individuals showing keen interest,” says Ms. Rym Taher, Sales Manager at Real Choice Real Estate. “With one of the highest per capita incomes in the MENA region, it’s no surprise Dubai is one of the most desired destinations for upscale property investment. And now is an opportune time to buy, because prices have somewhat stabilized compared to the 50% rise in 2022”.
