Market Insights

Why invest in Downtown vs Business Bay?
Downtown is a capital appreciation play with prestige value and higher stability. While yields (5-6%) are lower than Business Bay (7%), the asset quality and demand for "Burj Views" are unmatched globally.
How high are service charges?
Downtown has the highest service charges in Dubai, typically AED 25-35 per sqft, with premium towers (Address/Burj Khalifa) reaching AED 50-70 per sqft.
What constitutes a "Prime" View?
A "Full Fountain View" or "Unobstructed Burj Khalifa View" commands a 20-40% price premium over standard Boulevard or Community views.
Is short-term rental (Airbnb) viable?
Extremely. Downtown has the highest occupancy for holiday homes in the region, often outperforming long-term rentals by 20-25% in net revenue.
