Some New Firsts And Sisterly Developments In The U.A.E.

Dr. Geoff Pound at Experiencing the Emirates claims the U.A.E. has been 'always besotted with world records' and cites the recent announcement to introduce internet domain names in Arabic as a prime example. We couldn't agree more with this.

In the housing and construction sector, this feeling has always been uninhibitedly displayed. Architectural marvels like the Burj Al Arab and the kilometer-long Nakheel Harbor & Tower have added their own appeal to this eminently U.A.E. properties fascination.

In light of Dubai's attempts to go green, the Middle East's largest photo-voltaic manufacturing plant simply adds to this growing list of 'firsts'. The plant is expected to generate energy from waste and if the Dubai Municipality division's plans are anything to go by then a rating system for buildings will spearhead the change, effectively inviting a new style of construction.

What better setting to make your Dubai property investment in!

Moves like these are necessary for a region where skyscrapers jostle with tourists and double up congestion and pollution levels. Already, campaigns instigated by the RTC and Dubai Police have led to a reduction in road fatalities.

If matters continue to improve in such a speedy manner than it will not only benefit Dubai real estate investment but also spread its reach to the Abu Dhabi properties sector. Indeed, this could even result in the latter Emirate being on par with a well-planned city like Brisbane ultimately becoming its sister city!

Real Estate Investment In Dubai For Expatriates

In 2006, statistics revealed a surge in Dubai's population from 1.130 million to 1.422 million. This feat took barely a year to achieve- notwithstanding the number of tourists who visited the country.

In 2007, there was a total population of 4.48 million people noted in Dubai with expatriates numbering a whopping 3.62 million.

The numbers speak volumes for the expatriate population currently residing in Dubai. Engaged in everything from construction to banking and menial labor, the expatriate community in Dubai is a growing one and very lately, thriving as well.

The lure of high salaries and world-class amenities are perhaps some of the major attractions for this section leading them to purchase U.A.E. residential properties as well as commercial property in Dubai.

SkyDome Properties has noticed a demand for locations with villa projects like Al Reef Villas and the regional theme villas in Jumeirah Park. Exclusive addresses in Business Bay like Churchill Residency and Emirates Park Towers and even those in the recreation and sports-intensive Dubai Sports City find a mention in the skyscrapers favored by expatriates.

From the earlier economic boom in Dubai to the present stagnancy, expatriates are loathe to let go of the dream that is Dubai. At the rate at which the population is matching strides with the growing availability of property investment in Dubai, there will be no problem finding accommodation suited for any and every pocket.

Buyers Of U.A.E. Properties Will See More Green

While commercial property in Dubai and U.A.E. residential properties command a higher position in the real estate market, there are other sections that simply cannot be overlooked.

Take parks for instance. Currently the Dubai infrastructure makes provisions for four types of parks- parks with ponds and lakes, public parks, community parks and neighborhood parks. Additionally, whether it be an amusement park for children, recreational complexes for adults or simply a garden to have a leisurely walk in, these public places are a must.

Any Dubai apartment for sale and even U.A.E. residential properties advertisements will feature a patch of green, which just goes on to show how much of an appeal these urban elements have.

In the light of this need, the impetus that is being given to investment in parks and similar public recreational zones lately by the government is highly commendable. According to a statement made by the Director of Public Parks Department in Abu Dhabi, Abdul Aziz Al Gureishi there are arrangements being made to provide free internet access for park visitors.

If you are planning to buy property in Dubai on the other hand, there is even more good news. Dawood Al Hajri, Director of the Planning Department for Dubai Municipality recently announced plans that include a whopping number of at least 70 parks and recreation areas!

There is heavy investment in parks underway and soon your Dubai real estate investment will further enhance not only your way of living but also the way you enjoy your living! SkyDome Properties can help you select an investment property in Dubai that will best provide you with a space to loosen up and relax.

Boom Times For People With Abu Dhabi Properties

Quite naturally, given the similarities between the two Emirates, Abu Dhabi properties experience a high demand as well.

This predominantly island region is surrounded by the Persian Gulf on the north and the Sultanates of Saudi and Oman on the south and east respectively. With a 5.6 percent population growth rate, Abu Dhabi properties are being developed at a faster rate to accomodate the labor and the residents pouring into the city.

If you are looking to buy properties in Abu Dhabi, then this could be a great time to begin your U.A.E. properties investment.

According to the 12th annual World Wealth Report released a few days back by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini, the U.A.E.'s high net worth individuals (HNWI) escalated to 79,000 from 68,000 in 2007. In comparison, the average net worth for Abu Dhabi's citizens is an impressive US$ 17 million.

A number of ambitious projects are being undertaken and are currently in the works in Abu Dhabi, the New York State University being just one of them. Twenty nine percent of future GCC (Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf) plans are being jointly handled with major participation from Abu Dhabi as well.

You don't want to miss being a part of this wave of change. Buy a property in Abu Dhabi with analytic help from SkyDome Properties. We can help you with your U.A.E. properties investment.

Green Living In Dubai At Luxurious SkyDome Properties

A growing trend that is fast becoming a fixture in various media and culture is eco-living or ‘going green’. Referring to a lifestyle that is as minimally damaging to the surrounding environment as it can get, green living is a fabulous option that many are embracing.

One of the foremost emulators of green living is the housing and interiors sectors, which have generated a massive demand for a life that is environmentally conscious. The West is not alone though; such a concept has gained momentum in implementation even in U.A.E. properties and real estate.

In fact, a priority subject that is going to be addressed at the International Standards Organization (ISO) meet in Dubai City in October is going to be the effect of the U.A.E. construction business on the environment and ecology.

One of the existing measures for eco-friendly construction in Dubai however is a very important rating system known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Abu Dhabi properties are currently in the process of implementing such a building code.

The Mirdif City Center (a shopping center in Uptown Dubai) is presently the first shopping destination in Dubai that will be following the green code. Numerous U.A.E. commercial properties and investment property in Dubai are expected to follow suit.

SkyDome Properties listings include Dubai real estate investment with illustrious developers like Emmar, Nakheel, Tameer, Damac and the Sanali Group.

To select a Dubai apartment for sale or an investment property in Dubai that is efficiently green, contact the SkyDome Properties office on Sheikh Zayed Road or else mail us.
