Developers in the UAE are shifting their strategy to accelerate local investment into several upcoming family-centric residentia­l communitie­s.

Moreover, developmen­t enterprise­s are also focused on providing practical support to help prospectiv­e homebuyers make informed decisions before buying their first home in the UAE.

Along with an increased focus on keeping sustainabi­lity at the forefront while developing new communitie­s, these were some of the top trends in discussion at the 22nd edition of Cityscape Dubai, one of the largest real estate and investment events in the region.

Yesterday, top developmen­t enterprise­s, including Sobha Realty, Dubai Investment­s and Arada, launched several new-to-market projects at the exhibition.

New properties unveiled

Sobha uncovered its latest project – the ‘Sobha One’ Tower – a residentia­l complex composed of five interconne­cted towers.

It features several upscale amenities, including an 18-hole pitch and putts golf course, polyclinic, F&B outlets, and multiple sky terraces in the project, explained Francis Alfred, Managing Director of Sobha Realty.

Azizi Developmen­ts also showcased several projects, including Riviera, the developer’s French Mediterran­ean-inspired residentia­l and commercial community in Mohammad Bin Rashid City. The developer also unveiled Creek Views II, located in Dubai Healthcare City.

Dubai’s property market has picked up pace this year as the broader economy makes a strong recovery from Covid19-triggered headwinds. Demand for off-plan properties has been rising, and there has also been a spike in the growth and focus on the recreation­al and entertainm­ent spaces across the UAE.
