Dubai is one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing, most dynamic cities. Over the last 10 years, it has become a top destination for travelers and expatriates seeking better economic and lifestyle opportunities. Demand for property has increased and led to a boom in the market, especially for prime real estate. As such Dubai Marina real estate prices among other luxury areas have increased resulting in higher rental and capital returns for investors.
The Emirate city’s continued growth in popularity has been further bolstered by a series of strategic initiatives that are set to establish it as the first global city in the Middle East.
One example is UAE Vision 2021 in which the government invested AED 300 billion in expanding key growth sectors such as healthcare, technology, transportation, education and renewable energy. All of this, and the fact that buying property is extremely accessible for international investors, makes Dubai an attractive destination for investors seeking new opportunities in the region.
Dubai’s overall real estate market has grown by 59.5% in property sales volume and 78.4% in sales value. Although it is in the prime real estate category that the city has experienced the most growth. Today, we take an in-depth look at one of Dubai’s top prime real estate locations: Dubai Marina. Find out about the current state of investment in Dubai Marina and what exactly makes it such a popular spot for property seekers.
