Dubai has just announced plans to construct the world's largest airport terminal, with a hefty price tag of $35 billion.

The Prime Minister and Vice President of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, revealed that the new terminal will be a staggering five times larger than the current Dubai International Airport and will serve up to 260 million passengers a year.

During a telethon, he elaborated, "As we develop an entire city surrounding the airport in the southern region of Dubai, there will be a demand for housing accommodating up to a million people. The world's leading logistics and air transport firms will find their base here."

This announcement serves as yet another testament to Dubai's dedication to future progress and expansion.

The UAE is focused on advancing the construction sector with modern and innovative technologies.

Dubai has already issued the first permit for building construction using 3D printing technology in the Emirates (the permit was granted to the construction company "Nakheel" for the Al Furjan Hills area).

Such companies as 3DXB and AC3D are actively working on applying 3D printing systems in Dubai's construction sector.

Looking ahead, the market for 3D construction printing is projected to reach $2.5 billion by next year, and by 2030, the UAE plans to "print" 25% of all new buildings.

The UAE has operated according to the principles of FATF, providing the sense of security and prestige to the investors as these are the principles of the European community. In March 2024, the UAE was removed from the FATF "Greylist." This list was developed by the Financial Action Task Force to fight against money laundering.

According to Allsopp & Allsopp (2024), for the UAE, exiting the FATF "green list" offers benefits to its economy and enhances its global position, attracting more foreign investment and establishing trustworthy relationships with international partners. The real estate sector, specifically, is expected to experience substantial advantages from this alteration.

As rental rates rise and interest rates become more affordable, people prefer buying property rather than renting.

Off-Plan Property Sales. Off-plan real estate continues to gain momentum in sales; developers are launching new projects at an impressive frequency—once every 17 hours, significantly more than in the previous quarter, which was once every 36 hours.

The leaders among the regions are still:
1️⃣Jumeirah Village Circle,
2️⃣Dubai Marina,
3️⃣Business Bay.

Apartments accounted for 61.2% of the total sales volume by value, while villas and townhouses made up 38.8%.

The property market is currently growing and evolving in various directions, and surely, we cannot ignore the overall digitisation trend.

Today, it's not just a trend, but a whole system that is revolutionising sales, purchasing, and property management.

📌Blockchain technology
This technology saves us a considerable amount of time and makes transactions more transparent and legitimate.

📌Artificial Intelligence
AI assists in data analysis, contract compliance monitoring, and even home and interior designs.

📌Virtual apartments and houses tours
This feature is particularly relevant for foreign buyers planning to purchase or rent properties in the UAE but are unable to physically visit the properties.

The development of these areas undoubtedly eases the workflow for both developers and brokers.

For those new to real estate investing, the complexities can be overwhelming, and it's easy to fall into common pitfalls. Let's explore the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing property on both the primary and secondary markets.

🟢Primary Market (Off-plan)
Advantages:
- Properties equipped with the latest technology and modern renovations.
- Lower prices compared to the secondary market.
- Option for payment instalments directly from the developer.
- High potential for investment returns.

Disadvantages:
- Construction completion is required, which involves waiting.
- High demand can make securing the desired property challenging.


🟢Secondary Market (Ready)
Advantages:
- Potential for immediate income generation.
- Availability of mortgages.

Disadvantages:
- Use of outdated building technologies and need for renovations.
- Requirement to pay the full price upfront.
- Longer time needed to realise a return on investment.

The main advantage of ready properties is the savings in time. If quick occupancy is a priority for you, then the secondary market might be the more appropriate choice.

Based on the latest reports from the organizations that use the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) to raise funds through initial public offerings (IPOs), they have amassed $9.4 billion in revenue over the past three years!

- To obtain a UAE resident visa

🟢 How to register your agreement:
- Via the Dubai Rest and Dubai Now apps
- At Ejari service centers
