Get the Chi Flowing in Your Commercial Property in Dubai

Commercial property in Dubai is going to get easier to come by in the coming few months thanks to a low UAE properties market. There are some splendid options for those interested in buying properties in Dubai for retail or trade purposes.

Watching Dubai Property Investment Grow & Slacken

The President and Vice President of the UAE are doing all they can to alleviate the housing situation in Gaza, desperate as it is, with a pledge to construct 600 housing units in the country. There are a lot more instances like this to accentuate the efforts the UAE is making for the Palestinians. 

In Dubai property and investment, the situation is just the opposite. Of course, the city is not exactly in the grip of conditions of war, but conditions might as well be as dire. 

Real estate developers are being asked to slow on property construction progress as the Emirate records its very first deficit. From the thirteen percent per annum growth Dubai used to record, there is a markable lowering observed- one predicted to last until 2015. 

Already, UAE properties like the Dubai Waterfront and Palm Jebel Ali are moving at a slower pace. Real estate consultants advise investors and buyers to check out for similar behavior among their investments. Commercial property in Dubai especially, is an area that investors need to be wary regarding. 

Hiring the services of a real estate consultant who understands the market intimately is a necessity in these times of decline. When you decide to select a particular location, make sure you or your organization have identified all the opportunities and options available. 

It does not matter if the construction projects are being undertaken by established names in the housing construction business, UAE commercial properties all over are affected.

Unusual U.A.E. Properties & Unlikelier Dubai Residents

Dubai is truly terra extraordinaire. If there is anything that has to be yet attempted by a person living in Dubai then it is because someone has to still think of something novel.

Babu Sassi calls a crane cab on the tallest skyscraper on the planet home. It is definitely a most unusual Dubai property investment for a person to make. The South Indian construction worker says it is just too much trouble to travel all the way down after a hard day’s work and hence prefers the little cabin.

The rate for U.A.E. properties for sale at the Burj Dubai currently range from 2,145,244 to 4,226,755. Compared with Mr. Sassi’s ‘property’ price, it is definitely an up-gradation in both U.A.E. residential properties and their prices.

However, while Mr. Sassi owns an unusual home, there are even more unusual occupants you can come across in the Emirate. We are talking about the dolphins occupying the massive aquarium at the Atlantis Hotel in Palm Jumeirah. Twenty four of the mammals are currently in residence at The Atlantis much to the delight of the hotel residents.

If you are interested in buying properties in Dubai and would like to settle for more sedate options though, try SkyDome Properties.

Concrete In The Limelight At The Big 5 – Good For Property Investment in Dubai

The 5-day long exhibition held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre termed The Big 5 ends tomorrow, but not without an unusual commodity preening for all its worth before the doors shut.

Concrete, a construction necessity in the tower-loving Emirate, now has new ways in which it can be replaced, aesthetically enhanced or reinforced. Chemicals experts LANXESS for instance, have focused on colored concrete, which they claim is perfect for use in the property investment in Dubai sector- one that is very high on aesthetic elements.

Liquid Sand Slab is another product set to displace (possibly) concrete altogether. Marketed by German-based company DSI Arteon, this special chemical solution can solidify sand and make it as strong as concrete. The resulting material can even withstand the strain of an airport runway within 24-hours of spraying the chemical on sand or even gravel.

The plus point of this product undoubtedly lies in its cost- lesser than concrete production and procurement. Ultimately, use of a product like the Liquid Sand Slab could reflect on U.A.E. properties prices, which would no doubt reduce.

American company Efficient Building Systems structural concrete forms are yet another offering set on revolutionizing concrete use. The nature of these forms renders wait time for the concrete-curing process unnecessary.

For those interested in buying properties in Dubai, such developments for a building element as vital as concrete can prove to be great for a better property deal. Less time, resources and money for production translates to less expensively priced buildings.

U.A.E. Properties Go Green, Investors See Green

At the 14^th annual energy conference at the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Researches in Dubai, Dr. Mohammed Gargash- the Foreign Affairs Minister of State stated that 40 MW of energy would be required to satisfy the U.A.E.’s local needs by 2020. 

Nuclear energy is just one of the solutions proposed to fulfill this demand.

The government, thankfully, is thinking of more alternatives towards curtailing its carbon emissions, one of them being in the U.A.E. properties development sector.

From the seven Emirates, U.A.E. properties for sale in Sharjah are the first to consider implementing green elements. By 2009, rules pertaining to water conservation and management, use of eco-friendly building materials and solar energy generation should take root in the U.A.E. properties sector.

Most residential and commercial property in Dubai consume nearly 70 percent of power. If the Dubai government too considers using environmentally friendlier construction methods and materials, then this level could see a significant reduction.

There are already scattered commercial and U.A.E. residential properties in Dubai making an honest attempt. The Traffic and Patrol Department in the Ministry of Interior’s attempts at controlling traffic congestion and curtailing accidents is viewed as a complementing contribution that would benefit Dubai’s green efforts in the long run.

It remains to be seen whether U.A.E. commercial properties in areas like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras al Khaimah and the like follow Sharjah’s lead and embrace green development. Buying properties in Dubai will no doubt be a more attractive proposition for real estate investors and buyers.

Constructing In Bahrain The Best Among U.A.E. Properties

This statement comes straight from the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation in their annual report Doing Business 2009.

The Sultanate of Bahrain is viewed as another oasis in the Middle East and the U.A.E. properties market largely due to the significantly lesser procedures involved, and the reduced time it takes to obtain a building permit for construction. 

Sadly, Dubai does not figure anywhere on this list. Nonetheless, far from being a setback, there are definite plus points to be enjoyed in a Dubai property investment.

Take the recent real estate laws and regulations that were passed in Dubai. These rules place tremendous responsibility on the developer to deliver as promised on the purchased property, in the absence of which investors can rescind their registration.

Developers in turn can bestow residency visas to the party making a Dubai real estate investment with them. The authorities maintain that such measures not only reduce the processes and paperwork involved, but also ascertain that some degree of responsibility on the developer, investor as well as the broker is recognized.

The government is doing all it can to increase ventures for investment property in Dubai, and such balance of power should put Dubai on the next Doing Business list.

Regardless of the current economic situation, there are some fantastic opportunities for property investment in Dubai. Do not contact your nearest dealer to avail of them though, get in touch with an expert in U.A.E. properties for sale.

According to the press kit released by the developer, the tower is going to primarily incorporate Islamic influences as reflected in the ‘gardens of Alhambra in Spain, the harbor of Alexandria in Egypt, the promenade of Tangier in Morocco and the bridges of Isfahan in Iran.’
