Thanks to an increase in economic growth throughout the United Arab Emirates, and the continuing freehold property boom, Dubai is facing an increase in the costs of living.  With all this being said, Dubai is still a competitively priced place to live, and the biggest real drain on resident incomes is accommodation.  While shopping and other general living costs are lower than you would expect to find in most of Europe, the property boom and the excess demand for property has resulted in prices accelerating at an alarming rate.

The high prices of property in Dubai have encouraged more and more residents to buy property, instead of paying the earth in rental costs without actually acquiring ownership.  With so many freehold property projects now on the market, there are properties to suit everyone, and they vary in space, location and standard of luxury.  Obviously, the most luxurious properties are the most expensive, but many property buyers will find that there are still a fair few property developments that are worth your interest.

For property buyers that want to find a property that is value for money, buying a freehold apartment is the best option.  As there is a shortage of villas available on the Dubai property market that are finished, house prices are particularly expensive and only available on the most expensive property developments at this point in time.  While more and more affordable villas are being released for sale, such as in Jumeirah Village and Jumeirah Park, these will not be finished for a while.  For apartments, there is a huge choice of apartments depending on your budget, and one of the most popular developments to buy within if the costs of living are hurting you is International City.  With a good location, affordability and good quality, this is a property that appeals to the average Dubai resident.  There are also good buys at The Greens and some of the future developments on the way, but only time will tell if the cost of living will change significantly as more and more property developments are completed.

Commercial space is highly in demand in Dubai right now, and there are a number of exciting projects currently under construction that will strengthen Dubai’s position as a top financial centre. With the heart of the city under massive development to offer excellent infrastructure and location to the best multinationals and local firms, there are several freehold projects due for completion across the next few years to cater to the high levels of investment into the Emirate. Here is just a short list of some developments that are underway, as well as some of their featured projects.

Business Bay – Perhaps one of the most ambitious engineering projects at the moment, this freehold development aims to establish Dubai as a leading Business Hub by offering superior commercial and residential space adjacent to the Dubai Creek and Sheikh Zayed Road. Projects here include Bayswater, The Executive Towers, One Business Bay, Lotus Tower, Lighthouse Tower, XL Tower, Burj Al Najoom and Churchill Tower.

Downtown Dubai- This iconic project from flagship developer Emaar is equally as ambitious as Business Bay, by offering a mixture of residential sub-developments mixed with retail and commercial space, all surrounding a manmade lake and the world’s tallest building, the Burj Dubai Tower. This luxury location comes at a premium, but all the finest businesses want to relocate here. Projects include Dubai Boulevard, Al Saaha Offices, Burj Dubai Tower, The Pad, Burj Dubai Square and much more.

Jumeirah Lake Towers – This project is a similar concept to Business Bay, however, it is located just outside the city centre adjacent to Sheikh Zayed Road and features 87 towers surround 4 manmade lakes. The list of towers here include Lake Plaza, Al Seef, Al Shera, Al Waleed Paradise, Armada, Concorde Tower, Dubai Arch, Dubai Gate, Falcon Tower, Flamingo, Fortune Executive, Fortune Tower, Global Lake, Goldcrest Views, Green Lakes Towers, HDS Tower, Indigo, Laguna Tower, Lake City, Lake Shore Tower, Lake Terrace, Lake View, Madina Tower, Manchester Tower, Ocean Heights, Palladium, Saba Tower, Tamweel Tower, The Icon, V, Vista de Lago, Vue du Lac and Wind Tower.

Dubai International Financial Centre – This development is already up and running, being home to the Dubai stock market and many of the leading firms in the Emirate. With the Gate at the centre, the project is being extended to include much more commercial space alongside neighbouring Business Bay.

High levels of economic growth, combined with a booming property sector have increased the need for a better business district.  The Business Bay development from Dubai Holding Company is set to establish Dubai as the most important business hub in the Middle East by offering superior commercial property, combined with residential and retail property.  The development is currently under construction in the middle of the city, next to the prestigious Downtown Dubai and the Dubai International Financial Centre.

The development is designed to be comparable to other business landmarks around the world such as Canary Wharf in London and Manhattan Island in New York.  Consisting of over 200 unique high-rise and low-rise towers, Business Bay will soon be home to some of the World’s leading multinational companies and upcoming local businesses.  Although the entire development is controlled by Dubai Holding, the majority of the land within the freehold Business Bay development has been sold to other independent developers, with each one offering a different concept for working and living, giving Dubai property investors the best possible choice.

There will be a good choice of residential property at Business Bay, with studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments available.  All properties come with the finest facilities including swimming pools and gymnasiums, but there will also be health centres for residents and visitors once the development is complete.  Commercial space is available from small square footage areas all the way up to entire floors for sale.  Prices of commercial space in Dubai are amongst the highest in the world, though, so expect high costs.

The selection of sub-developments that are due within Business Bay include Bayswater, The Executive Towers, One Business Bay, Lotus Tower, Lighthouse Tower, XL Tower, Burj Al Najoom, Churchill Tower and much, much more.  With such a diverse range of property developers, this highly anticipated project will feature everything anyone would want all in one place.  Business Bay is the perfect development to live, work and relax within, right in the heart of Dubai.
For more information on buying property within the Business Bay development, contact our property agents who are waiting to deal with your enquiries, or visit propertyportal.ae to see our large selection of Business Bay properties for sale.

When buying, selling and renting property in Dubai, it is important to find the right property agent to get you the best possible deal.  There are many reputable property agents in Dubai, but there are also many poor property agents so anyone looking to deal in Dubai property should make sure they find the right property brokers and property agents. Most are very knowlegable on all the Dubai “hot spots” such as Dubai Sports City, Business Bay, Palm Island etc.
Property agents are vital when buying, selling or renting property in Dubai, as they have the right contacts to get their clients the best deal.  If you are selling a property, your property agent, who is part of a real estate brokerage firm, will have a number of clients that are looking to buy properties, and should be able to get you plenty of viewings for your property.  If you are looking to buy a property, the agent will also have many clients on their books that are selling property, and they can easily find you the right property in the shortest amount of time.  There is, however, the issue of the property agent trying to get the best deal for you and for the seller of the property, so this sometimes means a compromise by your property agent.  If you are looking to rent a property, the largest Dubai property brokers have many properties that are available to rent, but it is especially important to look around, as rental prices are extremely high at the moment, which is the main reason for increased demand in owning property as an alternative.

Property agents tend to be very specialised, and this is important depending on the type of property you are interested in.  Some property agents specialise entirely in residential property, while others will have superior knowledge in commercial property and industrial property.  There are many laws and legal issues involved when buying, selling and even renting property in Dubai, so make sure your chosen property agent is able to give you the best advice concerning Dubai property laws, the best properties to buy, financing and the contractual process.

At Dubai propertyportal.ae, we have specialist property agents that have extensive knowledge on freehold commercial and residential property, as well as rental properties in Dubai.  We have an extensive list of properties that are available to buy from all of Dubai’s leading freehold property developments, as well as having buyers ready and waiting for your Dubai freehold property.  Contact our property agents for more information on buying, selling and renting property in Dubai, and we will be happy to deal with your enquiries.

The Dubai property market is expanding to offer property investors new and exciting projects and this has brought a larger number of developers onto the market.  The increase in competition has put pressure on early developers Emaar and Nakheel to continue pursuing new and innovative freehold property developments to meet the high levels of demand on the booming Dubai property market.

The field of property investors has changed considerably over the past few years, with Emaar, Nakheel, Damac, Dubai Holding, Schon properties, Union properties and many more occupying the market.  Emaar has added to its initial projects of Emirates Hills, The Meadows, The Springs, The Lakes and The Greens by adding new projects to the Dubai Marina development, and the construction of Downtown Dubai, the developer’s biggest project to date.  This project features a variety of high-rise and low-rise freehold property all surrounding a manmade lake and the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Dubai Tower.

Nakheel is currently completing the Palm Jumeirah, and construction work continues on The World Islands and the Palm Jebel Ali.  The completion of International City, Jumeirah Islands and Jumeirah Beach Residence mean that Nakheel has a full property portfolio.  Dubai Holding is perhaps a newer big player on the Dubai property market, with the development of Business Bay underway and the massive Dubailand development also started.  Damac has a number of projects that are part of Dubai’s most popular freehold sub-developments including Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers.  Union properties is responsible for some of Dubai’s most affordable and popular freehold property, including Uptown Mirdiff and the Green Community.  Schon is yet another property developer that is making its mark by selective projects like Dubai Lagoon and Schon Business Park.

While these are the major developers on the Dubai property market right now, there will no doubt be new and ambitious developers to join as projects are completed and the size of this still-new market grows.  Many smaller property developers have chosen to focus on individual buildings within some of Dubai’s popular developments such as Dubailand, Business Bay and Dubai Marina.

We have also recently witnessed some of the same Dubai developers moving into Ajman property and developing some brand new projects there at very low market prices compared to Dubai. For more information on properties that are available in Dubai or Ajman, our property agents will be happy to deal with your enquiries.

There is a lot to learn from what Dubai has created in terms of property, real estate and developments we are now seeing other Emirates follow suit with one in particular Ajman. For the astute investors and buyers that reaped the great returns that Dubai had to offer some 3-4 years ago, Ajman property is certainly going to create another “property rush” for some years to come. Although these projects do not come online and complete until 2010/2011 now is the time to place the initial 10% deposit in order to take advantage of the low prices on offer before they start to escalate as the market grows and these developments sell out.

We have a selection of Studios, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom apartments available, we can advise that prices for these amazing apartments start from an incredible AED 255,320 for a Studio, 1 Bed AED 319,000, 2 Bed AED 535,000 inclusive of car parking charges. In fact, an entire floor consisting of a mix of 20 units can currently be purchased from less than AED 8.5m! This represents phenomenal value and an exceptionally lucrative opportunity for serious investors looking for Ajman property

While the Dubai property market is clearly a haven of choice for property investors with large budgets, there is also a need for property that caters to the average budget. As the numbers of luxury developments grow, it is a relief that the Dubai property market also offers a reasonable selection of affordable freehold property, without compromising on quality of lifestyle.

One of the most popular developments for the more modest budget is International City, an affordable eclectic apartment development by Dubai’s biggest developer Nakheel. While mostly recognised for building The Palm Jumeirah and The World Islands, International City is a Nakheel development that offers studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments in a location with easy access to the city.

The apartments at International City have proven popular not just with local property buyers, but also with overseas investors looking for a holiday home, and even Dubai residents that still want to rent property. The development is split into nine different regions that reflect the architectural style of each country and these are England, France, China, Persia, Greece, Spain, Morocco, Italy and Russia. Property buyers have an excellent choice then of what region they want to buy in, while the interior features of the entire development are standard.

There is an excellent collection of facilities right on hand too, including a swimming pools, gymnasiums, schools, shops, restaurants, 24-hour security and ample parking space. International City is also a great environment for children, with play areas dotted around the 800-hectare development. With the main city of Dubai just 10 minutes drive away; International City is a convenient place to live just outside central Dubai, which is why property in this development is so affordable. Given the huge demand for property at International City, expect to see more affordable property projects in the future.

If you are interested in property at International City, our property agents will be happy to deal with your enquiries.

We are pleased to announce the unofficial pre-launch of an exciting new development in Ajman within Al Humaid City where we have a limited number of units left for sale to offer.

Brief On Ajman Property

Ajman is currently the only emirate in the UAE offering investors of any nationality fully transparent true 100% freehold ownership on real estate, which in turn has attracted a huge number of investors (local and international) to this emirate. This in turn has prompted the Ajman government to initiate a number of development projects.

New Ajman is the name given to the area being developed outside of the current Ajman city, located by the Emirates Road. New Ajman will consist of many new developments & projects envisioned by Chief of Municipality Sheikh Rashid Al Nuaimi. Some of the first developments of New Ajman are called ” Al Humaid City” and “The Emirates City”, brand new cities located directly on the Emirates Road to be built from scratch consisting of more than 100 mid- and high-rise buildings. A number of shopping malls, hotels and residential villas are also planned to eventually extend all the way to the ‘Al Zoura’ area, where beachside developments are planned.

Ajman International Airport hosting about two million passengers per year has also been announced, and construction will start in the second half of 2008 in the Al Manama area of the Ajman, and airport operations are set to start by 2011.
