Real Estate Investments in Dubai

When it comes to investment growth and income, there is hardly any real estate investment you can make that is more lucrative than a purchase in Dubai. Dubai has established itself as a globally recognised trading and transportation centre and a centre of commerce for the East. Recently, Dubai has emerged as a picture of modern architecture, combining intriguing designs with definite Islamic influences and aggressively modern designs. A modern city filled with wealth and forward-thinking people, Dubai is the perfect place for high-end luxury real estate investing.

The History of Real Estate Investments in Dubai

Dubai presents itself as an appealing city for real estate investment and boasts impressive investment growth numbers. A review conducted by Douglas Elliman and Knight Frank compared several cities and their investment growth from 2010 to 2014. For instance, assuming a property was purchased in 2010 for 1 million, it would have been valued at approximately 1.63 million by the second quarter of 2014 in Dubai. This translates to a growth of 23% in the second year of investment and a staggering 73% in the third year. These figures outshine other contenders for luxury real estate, including Hong Kong, New York, and London. In comparison, properties in these cities would see values of 1.16 million, 1.22 million, and 1.54 million, respectively, given the same investment and time frame. Dubai emerges as the clear winner by a significant margin and continues to prove its status as a lucrative investment market. With such promising growth trends, Engel & Völkers remains committed to helping investors capitalise on the thriving real estate opportunities in Dubai.

Why is Dubai a Good Investment?


In addition to its wealth, Dubai stands out as an exceptionally attractive investment location for several reasons. Firstly, Dubai is a tax-free city, devoid of income or capital gains tax, offering investors unparalleled financial advantages. Moreover, Dubai's robust tourism industry remains a powerhouse, consistently attracting a diverse array of prospective tenants, ensuring a steady demand for rental properties. The city's moderate climate further enhances its appeal, making it an enticing destination for visitors and residents alike.

Dubai's remarkably low crime rate contributes to its reputation as a safe and secure city, fostering a conducive environment for both living and working. Furthermore, the city offers an exceptional quality of life, making it an attractive destination for individuals and families seeking new opportunities.

For investors in rental properties, Dubai presents an enticing proposition, with the potential for lucrative rental income and substantial equity growth within a relatively short timeframe. The booming housing market in Dubai often yields impressive returns on investment, with the potential for significant gains within a five-year turnaround period.
