The recent update to Dubai's Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) rent calculator is expected to increase rental prices, impacting deal-seeking tenants. The recalibration that took place on the 1st of March aims to reflect current market rates more accurately, potentially leading to higher rents for some tenants during renewals. While this adjustment may prompt tenants to consider purchasing property instead, it could also stimulate demand for communities offering better value for money. Consequently, this shift may lead to increased market stability in the long term.   #uae #dubai #uaelawyer #dubailawyer #legal #rera #rent

Which city has a more ravenous appetite for new builds: London or Dubai? Post-COVID, the market has been especially pervaded by noise surrounding Dubai's off plan property launches and performances. It truly seems as though no city in the world rivals Dubai's obsession with off plan developments. The latest GCP-REIDIN - Data Analytics report looks to truly examine the difference between off plan and ready apartments in order to determine exactly how much of the recent market buzz is credible (and to answer the above question vis-à-vis London). As a summary: - Since January 2012, off plan apartments have consistently sold at higher average prices per square foot than their ready counterparts. This trend is only exacerbated in the post-COVID era, as both investors and end-users continue to show a preference for newer builds. - This effect holds true across a range of communities, both at the luxury and mid market level. Generally, off plan apartments have sold at a premium relative to their ready counterparts, and this is especially true post-COVID for a sample of communities that have been responsible for a significant proportion of Dubai’s apartment transaction volumes over the years. - If we zoom in further to examine this phenomenon on an even more detailed basis, we find that it is also consistent on a building-by-building level. Across the same communities examined on a holistic basis, there are a number of examples of off plan projects that were handed over in 2023 where the average sales price was higher than the average sales price for ready apartments in that same community. Moreover, we see a price drop in these same buildings once ready units begin selling, once again demonstrating the market’s insatiable appetite for newer builds. Please find the full report with further details and analysis attached below.

Eshraq Investments Charts New Course with Private Equity Strategy: Insights from CEO Mohamed Al Hashimi In a bold move towards diversification, Eshraq Investments, under the leadership of CEO Mohamed Al Hashimi, unveils its revamped operational strategy. The shift towards private equity investments in the UAE and Saudi Arabia marks a significant departure from its previous reliance on publicly listed entities. Al Hashimi emphasizes that the focus will be on securing $50 million to $100 million stakes in companies exhibiting promising growth potential, transcending sector boundaries to seize opportunistic investments. The decision to venture into private equity reflects a strategic response to market dynamics and investor sentiments, with a clear emphasis on generating robust asset-backed cash flows. By realigning its investment portfolio and divesting from real estate holdings, Eshraq positions itself for a new era of growth and value creation. Technology-focused businesses are not exempt from Eshraq's radar, as Al Hashimi underscores the company's sector-agnostic approach. Leveraging expertise in asset management, Eshraq aims to unlock value and pursue exit strategies within a 2-7 year timeframe, capitalizing on favorable market conditions. Moreover, the financing landscape undergoes a transformation, with a focus on controlling investments and divestments while exploring strategic partnerships and alternative funding avenues. Share buyback programs are phased out in favor of channeling resources towards strategic initiatives aligned with long-term objectives. As Eshraq sets its sights on diverse sectors including real estate, infrastructure, technology, and healthcare, the stage is set for a dynamic journey into the realm of private equity. With a sharp re-set and a clear vision for the future, Eshraq reaffirms its commitment to delivering sustainable value and driving innovation in the regional investment landscape. #EshraqInvestments #PrivateEquity #InvestmentStrategy #MarketInsights #RegionalEconomy #MohamedAlHashimi #UAEInvestments #SaudiArabiaInvestments #Diversification #ValueCreation #Worlfield
