An opulent oasis The desert city of Dubai is enticing buyers back into the market with a new burst of superb developments Things are literally looking up for Dubai
as a host of exciting new projects spring to life. Mark Wellman-Riggs, general manager of Crompton Partners Estate Agents in Dubai, says, “With the revitalised position of Dubai’s economy and the announcement that the Emirate will host World Expo in 2020, the property market in Dubai is definitely on the up. The Dubai Land Department recently revealed
that international real estate transactions reached Dhs114 billion in 2013 with 162 nationalities making investments. “A number of exciting new property developments have broken ground and in addition, projects that were put on hold around 2008 are now complete or nearing completion. Such activity has paved the way for a stream of eager investors and end-users to capitalise on the bulk of new properties coming online in Dubai.” The Reserve at Al Barari, Dubai Literally meaning ‘wilderness’, Al Barari was designed to be a true desert oasis.
