Dubai's mission is to be the Hong Kong, Monaco and Orlando of the Middle East, the financial hub and the tourism and leisure destination that will outstrip anywhere else. Its geographical position in the world, where East meets West, means that it has access to a huge market covering Middle East, India, Pakistan, Central and Western Europe, Africa, and the Russian Federation etc.
Dubai has many natural advantages for UK investors – including direct flights of less than 7 hours, relative safety and security, tax free shopping, no tax on income or capital, and of course the sunshine!
The property market here is expected to experience strong demand and growth from indigenous as well as external investors. Factors driving this continued demand include:
* Government backing for large scale tourism-related projects
* Restrictions on foreign-owned property being lifted
* Freehold ownership being legally instituted shortly
* No tax on capital and income
* A high standard of living in a stable economic climate, all year round sunshine
* A residency visa available to buyers when a property is purchased
The government’s growth forecasts are that visitor numbers to Dubai will grow from 5 million to 15 million by 2010. Within this exciting growth market is a project called International City.
It is a new development within Dubai, located just 12 km from the Dubai International Airport, set within 800 hectares, which will reflect the varied styles of world architectures, including Italy, Spain, Russia, Morocco, Persia, Greece, France, Thailand Indonesia, China and England. In all, the residential development features 21,000 expertly planned yet affordable studio and one bed apartments that will become home to 60,000 residents.
The development also features an exciting blend of leisure, retail and business developments, including exhibition halls, such as the Dragon Mart and Dubai Gate, and Central District commercial area, as well as schools and hospitals.
The International City development is much in demand from investors and potential residents alike, due to the very competitive prices that these are being released at. The benefits of owning property in Dubai at these prices will ensure a lively secondary market.
International City apartments consist mainly of studio and one bed apartments. The property development company in charge of the project is Nakheel, Dubai’s government-backed developer, and construction is now under way, with expected completion in Dec 2006. All the buildings in International City areas have been sold and deals are now being traded in a secondary market. The Chinese quarter is closest to completion, with occupancy now taking place.
Investors Provident have secured an opportunity with the potential to invest for either short term gain, or long term equity growth within this area.
