Introduction

In the rapidly developing market of the United Arab Emirates, investors and international corporations are eagerly seeking opportunities for growth and expansion. Real estate continues to be one of the most attractive sectors, especially in places like Dubai and other emirates. We have prepared an overview of the most interesting deals that our clients made in the fall of 2023.

Main investment assets

In this article, we will take a detailed look at several investment properties in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, each valued at over 1.8 million dollars. We will focus on the purposes of acquisition, the unique features of the projects, and the reasons why this emirate attracts investors.

Acquisition goals

  • Acquisition of housing for personal residence.
  • Creating a foundation for business expansion.
  • High income and comfortable living conditions.

For many clients, the main goal of purchasing is both acquiring a home for themselves and establishing a base for business expansion. Some clients have specified particular reasons for choosing certain projects, including high investment returns and an overall level of comfortable living.

Advantages of Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah, being one of the fastest-growing emirates, attracts those seeking comfortable living conditions and profitable investments. It is also worth noting that many companies are considering options for relocating employees, and purchasing residential properties becomes an important step in improving their living conditions.

Dubai as a business base

Dubai is also justifiably chosen by clients as a suitable base for business expansion. The city offers a strategically convenient location, a high level of comfort, and well-developed infrastructure, making it ideal for conducting business.

  • Strategic location.
  • High standard of living.
  • The infrastructure is well-developed.

I am particularly interested in investment apartments in the "The Community" project, which offers many opportunities in the Dubai real estate market due to years of collaboration.

Notable deals in Dubai

One of the notable deals in Dubai was the purchase of the last apartment in a completed residential complex, which offered unique installment conditions after the property was put into operation. When choosing an apartment, it's important not to postpone the decision, as rising prices and high sales velocity can lead to the loss of advantageous options.

Trust in brokers

Many investors trust us for good reason. Trust in brokers working with promising projects is an important aspect of successful investment. Long-term relationships with clients allow us to turn every deal into meaningful and successful collaboration.

Real estate offers in the UAE

The UAEreal estate market offers extensive options — for example, the "The Community" project features 961 properties with prices starting from $145,000 and an annual yield of 9%. The project is scheduled for completion in 2025.

Conclusion

All the listed projects provide diversity and attractiveness for real estate investments in the UAE, which generates significant interest from foreigners and international companies.

In early October, Maria Alkhazova, a real estate expert in Dubai, reached out to a client regarding the purchase of an apartment in the promising emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, which clearly demonstrates the growing interest in this region.

Prospects of the real estate market in the UAE

The client expressed confidence that the market has enormous potential due to the expected opening of the first casino in the United Arab Emirates in 2027. During the discussion with the client, Maria learned from the developer about the launch of sales for a new residential complex that will be located in close proximity to this casino.

Booking and sales startup

Some of our partners in the UAE allow trusted brokers to reserve apartments even before the official sales begin. The day after the sales started, the apartments were sold out in just a few hours. Maria and her client managed to secure a reservation and chose the best two-bedroom options in this complex.

Opportunities for investors at the start of sales

At the initial stage of sales, the minimum entry level to the market is particularly low, after which the price of apartments increases by an average of 10%. It is also worth noting that at the time of opening, investors have more opportunities to choose an apartment with the best characteristics.

  • picturesque view
  • convenient layout
  • suitable floor

The quicker an investor reacts to the start of sales, the higher the chance of acquiring property under the most favorable conditions.

Resale and selection of apartments

Maria Alkhazova, a leading real estate expert in Dubai, emphasized that the client plans to resell the apartments later when their value has significantly increased. In the category of two-bedroom apartments, the client notices less competition when entering the market. The selected property is calledHayat Island— it will become the equivalent of a famous districtBluewatersin Dubai.

We noted that the apartments in this complex could pose serious competition to the neighboring luxury hotels in the short-term rental market, as it would be more economically viable for families with children to rent an apartment rather than overpay for a hotel room.

Investments in Ras Al Khaimah

As for the emirateRas Al KhaimahThis region is located just an hour's drive from Dubai, but the entry threshold is significantly lower here. The emirate attracts tourists with its clean sea and mild climate, and rumors about the possibility of opening a casino further increase interest in real estate in Ras Al Khaimah.

Currently, in this emirate, you can find about 30 real estate listings with prices starting from508,000 dollarsFor example:

  • A seaside residence with a pool and direct access to the beach in the area.Mine Al-Arab— scheduled for delivery in2026..
  • 668 apartments from1,449,000 dollarsin the new complexOceanwith pools and a private beach on the islandJazeerat Al Marjan, also with the completion of construction in2026..

  • 1195 apartments in a new residential complex with a beach club and spa in Ras Al Khaimah starting from469,000 dollars, with the completion of construction inin the year 2027.

Against the backdrop of all these proposals, investing in this segment could turn out to be a very profitable move.

Long-term cooperation and investments

Long-term collaboration with clients has given us a unique opportunity to delve into investment issues, especially in foreignreal estate. A few years ago, we successfully assisted our client in selecting two properties in Spain, which positively influenced his subsequent intention to invest.

The real estate market in Dubai

Currently, while examining the real estate market in Dubai, the client has clearly defined his investment goals. In the context of the booming interest in real estate in the United Arab Emirates, he aimed to find the best offers. Our team conducted a comprehensive analysis, identifying the most promising areas with high returns. As a result, one of the most attractive areas turned out to be Motor City, which ranked fifth in terms of gross yield.7%per year.

Local experts made every effort to expedite the paperwork, and the transaction itself was completed in just a few days.

Expert opinion

Maria Alkhazova, a real estate expert in Dubai, says that her latest deal was one of the fastest. She managed to secure the last apartment in a completed complex under unique installment conditions after the construction was finished, which happened in early November.

Choosing an apartment in Dubai is a task that requires a high level of attention and prompt action. Often, buyers are interested in purchasing property in the Business Bay area, where they wish to find a completed project from a reliable developer that offers payment plans after construction is finished. However, such offers in the real estate market are quite rare, and often there are no available apartments left in these complexes.

At the same time, some deals may fall through, and then the apartments become available for sale again. This creates a unique opportunity for those who want to purchase real estate at an attractive price in a short period of time.

Maria Alhazova's experience

Maria Alkhazova, an experienced specialist in Dubai real estate, shares her perspective on the reasons why many investors choose her. Developers always inform her first about the release of new apartments, which allows her to respond quickly to market changes. Over the weekend, Maria was able to contact the developer, view a new offering, and secure a reservation for the last available unit in one of the popular completed complexes.

Nevertheless, clients worked with different agents, but most of them offered the same options. Our team of professionals closely monitors market changes, maintaining constant contact with the largest developers and providing exclusive projects that cannot be found with competitors.

Current offers in the market

For example, in Dubai, there is an opportunity to purchase housing starting from145,000 dollarsCurrently, the following offers are relevant:

  • Investment apartments with profitability9%in the center of Motor City, with the completion of construction inin the year 2025and prices start at208,000 dollars.

  • A prestigious residential complex with luxurious finishes from the Swiss company Franck Muller in Dubai Marina, where the completion of construction is scheduled for2027 yearand prices start at6,262,000 dollars.

Additionally, it's worth noting the new residences on Palm Jumeirah and in Business Bay, which offer private beaches and pools — starting price from2,771,000 dollarsAnother interesting project will soon appear on the market, which will attract the attention of investors. Fresh offerings are in high demand, and more and more people are realizing that trust in their broker plays a key role in the successful completion of transactions.

The success of Ruslan Abdullaev

In mid-November, Ruslan Abdullaev, a local manager, successfully completed an investment deal in Dubai Maritime City. Therefore, you shouldn't delay in choosing your housing, as the real estate market in Dubai is constantly changing, and it's easy to miss out on a good offer. Be sure to consider all the details and trust professionals when selecting your new home.

Ruslan's introduction to the client

The story of Ruslan's interaction with his client began several years ago. At that time, Ruslan helped his client effectively invest in real estate in Moscow, which significantly increased the value of the apartments—by several times.

After that, the client showed a constant interest in real estate issues; however, the Dubai market never caught his attention. Even despite the high interest in property in 2022 and 2023, he preferred to invest in real estate in European Union countries.

A new conversation about Dubai

Nevertheless, recently Ruslan brought up the topic of investing in Dubai, initiating a discussion about the opportunities that this market offers. The client had often visited the Emirates and had familiarized himself with the features of the local real estate, although he still hadn't made the decision to purchase.

However, based on the successful experience of previous joint events with Ruslan, he agreed to consider this proposal and went to Dubai for viewings. A key factor for the client was the trusting, open communication with Ruslan, which undoubtedly influenced his final decision.

Trust and investments

Experienced investors are usually able to recognize insincerity and value objective information provided by brokers, based on a deep understanding of the market.

In the context of such trust, the question of which project Ruslan would invest his money in became almost decisive for the client.

Market analysis in Dubai

Ruslan Abdullaev, a real estate specialist in Dubai, continued to analyze the market with his client. The client was particularly fond of the area.Port de La Mer, combining Mediterranean style and offering picturesque views of the Persian Gulf.

However, both Ruslan and the client understood that in this area, property prices had likely reached their peak and were more suitable for personal living than for investment.

Alternative options for investments

As an alternative, Ruslan suggested that the client take a look at the new projects in the neighborhoods.Motor CityandArjan...that have a high potential for price growth. Our specialists arranged several days of private viewings for the client, during which they provided detailed information about the advantages and features of each property.

  • Arjan:16 residential offers starting at $208,000 for new apartments suitable for obtaining residency and investing in a residential complex.The Central DowntownExpected return: 8.2%, completion date: 2026.
  • Elite residence Bianca:located in the areaDubailandwith swimming pools and green areas. Prices start at $412,000, and the completion date is set for 2026.
  • Modern residence Volare:Located near Palm Jumeirah, prices start from $203,000, with completion scheduled for 2025.
  • Adhara Star Residence:with swimming pools and a tennis court. Prices start at $314,000, completion date — 2025.
  • Dolce Vita complex:An elite complex and hotel with a golf club in the center of the Arjan area. The expected completion date is 2026.

Conclusion

Thus, Ruslan helped his client assess all the opportunities that the Dubai market offers, and he is confident that his experience will yield results once again, just as it did in Moscow.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the real estate market in the United Arab Emirates, especially in promising regions like Ras Al Khaimah, continues to be one of the most attractive for investors on the international stage.

The volume of investments and the dynamics of integrating the latest projects in this segment are rapidly increasing. I've seen how our clients, anticipating success and rising real estate prices, are eager to take advantage of unique offers at the launch stage, and this is truly paying off.

The potential of Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah, despite its proximity to Dubai, offers more affordable options for purchase, combining this with high growth potential due to anticipated market changes, such as the introduction of the first casinos in the UAE. These factors are attracting increasing attention from both private and corporate investors, highlighting the importance of a thoughtful approach to property selection and strategic planning.

Key factors for successful investments
  • Speed of decision-makingcan become a key factor for an investor who wants to achieve high returns in the future.
  • Understanding the marketand the use of knowledge from experienced brokers.
  • Choosing the right moment to buy- the key to successful deals.

So, if you are planning to invest in the UAEreal estate market, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to consider options in such a promising emirate as Ras Al Khaimah. It offers not only comfortable living conditions but also prospects for significant financial growth.

Remember that in real time, current offers may disappear, and only those who react quickly will be able to take advantage of the best opportunities in this rapidly evolving market.
