Dubai’s real estate market is varied, fast paced and always changing. With a strategic location and growing population, the city has seen a continuous demand for residential and commercial properties.
Off plan properties in Dubai have become a hot favourite for both seasoned investors and first time buyers.
These projects are launched at the early stages of construction and buyers can get properties at prices much lower than the market rate upon completion.
Investors are especially fond of off plan projects in Business Bay, Dubai’s central business district. With high rise buildings, luxurious lifestyles and proximity to major attractions, Business Bay is an investment hot spot.
Although this blog is about new off plan projects in Dubai, it’s worth noting that average rental prices in Business Bay vary greatly depending on the property type.
A one bedroom apartment averages AED 70,000 per year, while larger units can go for AED 150,000 and above. So it’s a great area for those looking for short term and long term gains.
