Dubai Property News Updates

The UAE property news this week witnessed a series of exciting developments. The luxury property market in Dubai is gearing up to experience the fastest global growth in the second half of 2023 while high ROI continues to make freehold zones in Dubai attractive for investment. Besides, the property market in the city experiences a significant upswing post-pandemic with increased demand for both luxury and affordable properties. Additionally, Samana Developers and Nakheel Properties launch a new residential project in Al Furjan, and Expo City Dubai introduces its latest offering, Shamsa Townhouses. Let's explore these intriguing updates with us from the following details.

Dubai Luxury Property to Witness Fastest Global Growth in H2 2023

The Dubai luxury property market experienced the fastest growth rate globally in H2 2023 driven by a continued influx of high-net-worth individuals and a supply shortage of high-end units. Following an 11.2% increase in capital value in H1 2023, industry experts predict a further 5-10% rise in the prices of luxury properties. This growth is expected to influence the capital value of mid and affordable units as well. According to Savills Research, Dubai's prime residential property prices will increase by 6-7.9% in H2 2023, outpacing other major cities like Singapore and Bangkok. The city's prime rents have also seen a significant 62% increase since December 2020. Amidst this demand, over 15 projects were launched and nearly sold out between June and July 2023. Despite high prices, the rental yield of 5-7% makes these investments attractive. The luxury segment is expected to continue its strong performance into 2024.

Dubai Freehold Zones Offer High ROI

Dubai commercial property market faces a significant shortage of A-grade properties in prime locations with demand far outstripping supply. This is driven by a surge in trade licenses issued in Dubai, attracting entrepreneurs and businesses to the region. Prime areas for investment in freehold zones include Business Bay, Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), and Barsha Heights offering an average ROI of 6-8%. The warehouse investments are promising with an average ROI of 12% including Dubai Investment Park (DIP), Al Quoz, and Dubai Industrial City (DIC). Despite the global trend of flexible work arrangements, demand for commercial properties remains strong in Dubai due to specific office space requirements mandated by UAE labor laws. Understanding these trends and legal obligations is crucial for those in the commercial property market to assist clients effectively.
