The Future of Real Estate Development in Dubai

UAE always stays one step ahead with its new buildings in Dubai using new technologies. The smart homes that are incorporated with IoT (Internet of Things) devices have been creating their space among the population. With automated lighting, climate control and security systems several residents living in these houses make effectively managing the building structure possible.

The way we view properties is now changing due to virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). With virtual tours available, buyers can make more educated buying decisions from anywhere in the world and long-distance investing is easier than ever before. Blockchain technology is overtaking the world; it ensures visible and secure transactions which reduces fraud, and cryptocurrency cuts out middlemen in buying.

Sustainable and Green Buildings

As the city pushes forward with its goal of being one of the greenest cities on Earth, developers are further embracing eco-friendly practices in their projects. Green Buildings – These low-energy, small environmental impact designs are becoming more prevalent.

The idea is that the schemes will not only be environmentally friendly but also create better internal environments for people to live in. The Sustainable City is just one example of how we can begin to change our cities and live in vibrant urban environments that are also sustainable.

Mixed-Use Developments

Dubai also mulled to witness a rise in mixed-use projects. Mixed-Use Residential, Commercial and Recreation The development consists of residential and commercial uses combined such that they are one piece. This approach has multiple benefits making it convenient for residents to work from near home, lesser traffic jams and energizing communities.

Mixed-use developments like City Walk and Bluewaters Island have shops, restaurants, offices & entertainment all on the doorstep. The merging of diverse programs in one place contributes to a vibrant city life, fitting the needs of modern living. With more and more people looking for convenience, mixed-use developments could gain even greater popularity.

The Role of Mega Projects

Dubai is famous for its mega projects and these will always steer the future of real estate development in Dubai. This results in self-reinforced patterns where residents seek out services that are available through the development wall at competitive prices.

The most famous projects in the whole world:

  • Palm Jumeirah,
  • The World (group of islands),
  • Expo 2020,
  • Dubai Creek Harbour.

Two of their latest projects scream that scale — Dubai Creek Harbour, a future global icon home to the tallest tower in the world (no biggie), and an enormous waterfront destination. The statement in the Challenges section states that The legacy of Expo 2020, District 2020 is being transformed into a leading centre for innovation and creativity. These mega projects do not just nourish real estate, but also upgrade the international character of Dubai City.

By these criteria, stock licenses have had some luck until now finding refuge in regulatory changes and market stability.

Regulation changes that aim to promote market stability and investor protection also determine the next chapter of real estate development in Dubai. There are several initiatives taken by the government to promote transparency and control the functioning of the market. Tools such as the Dubai Rest platform provide visibility on all property transactions which will lead to more safety for buyers and investors.

Changes in Demographics

As Dubai’s population matures and changes, so does its real estate development. More and more brand-conscious middle-income inhabitants as well as expatriates are seeking affordable housing in the city. The newer projects will have smaller unit sizes, and (we assume) be more affordable — without sacrificing quality scaffoldings or the creature comforts.

According to analysts at 1newhomes.ae, the growing number of young professionals as well as digital nomads is increasing the demand for innovative housing options. Co-living options (housing with common areas and services) or flexible workspaces are in demand.There are, in the same vein, flexible workspaces that suit freelancers and remote workers offering easy-to-use office solutions.
