Dubai – a Favourable Market:
In less than 40 years, Dubai has transformed itself from a local trading community into one of the most
inspirational, exciting and successful cities in the world. Its progress continues to make global headlines and it
is now an immensely attractive destination for tourists and businesses alike.
With a diverse, multicultural population, Dubai offers its residents and businesses a unique environment,
enriched with hundreds of cultures and a quality of life and work unrivalled in the Middle East. It is a bustling
metropolis with a combination of Emirati heritage, Arabic vitality, Western spontaneity and Asian ambition.
With an indigenous population of just 170,000, the number of Dubai expatriate residents now stands at 2
million, thanks to its lifestyle appeal and investment incentives. The tax-free policies and penalty-free
repatriation of earnings have enormous benefits on both a personal and business level, with outstanding
opportunities for private savings and professional profits.
As thousands of new businesses are discovering each year, Dubai is the perfect gateway between East and
West and the preferred hub for the region’s imports and exports market – one of the most lucrative in the
world. Dubai’s strategic location gives easy access to 2.2 billion consumers, from a unique centralized time
zone that combines East and West business hours.
Dubai continues to be a destination for foreign investors and regional institutions to operate from It is
strategically located in the centre of a large young population and has proven over the years to be one of the
largest growing economic regions in the world-supported by its ability to attract talent and business into the
region; notwithstanding the debt fall-out constraint.
With its key geographic location and infrastructure, Dubai is seen as the fastest link to rapidly developing
markets across the Middle East, Africa, particularly North Africa and South Asia.
 Given its financial services infrastructure and corporate regulation framework, Dubai has been able
to position itself as the financial centre for the Middle East and North Africa emulating the Singapore
model.
 Government spending is expected to support growth in the face of weaker external demand
 Dubai was able to recover from a credit and real estate crisis. Between the end of 2011 and into the
first half of 2012 growth in activities across trade, tourism, logistics and services suggest a favourable
economic outlook for the emirate. Furthermore, industry players have renewed their faith in the real
estate sector whereby prices have now plateau and are expected to increase in the near future and
the appetite for investments and construction is now increasing again with several development
projects announced.
Dubai's gross domestic product is expected to reach USD 107.1 billion, posting a growth rate of 6.1% in 2014
and exceeding Dubai government's estimates of 5%, according to Citibank.
Latest available data from Dubai Statistics Department pegged the emirate's economy at nearly USD 45
billion in the first half of 2013. Dubai's economy has been on a tear over the past 12 month with a slew of
data pointing to a new surge in construction activity and a rapid increase in overseas demand for the
emirate's travel, logistics and tourism industries.
Experts believe that Dubai’s future outlook over the next five years will witness robust and steady
growth rates. Between the end of 2010 and into 2011, Dubai proved its ability to rise back and regain
momentum.
Dubai Market Summary
The Dubai real estate market maintained its positive performance in Q2 2014. Although the residential sector
saw prices and rents increase across most areas, there are signs that the rate of growth is slowing down with
Q2 seeing a marked slowdown in the volume of residential sales, particularly in respect of existing villas.
While the retail and hotel sectors continue to experience growth, recovery in the office sector remains
patchy, constrained by the large level of supply and high vacancy rates, that are placing pressure on overall
rental values.
Dubai Residential Market
With the residential sector witnessing continued demand from investors, the market has witnessed a number
of new project launches and announcements. Contracts have been awarded for around USD 5.4 billion of
residential projects over the first half of 2014, while other new projects remain at the announcement or
launch stage with no construction work yet occurring. A common theme across many of these projects is an
emphasis on sustainability and energy saving features, in line with the recent decision of the Dubai
Government to extend its green building codes and regulations to all new real estate projects.
Dubai Sales
 Similar to the first quarter, Q2 2014 witnessed marginal growth; with sales prices up 6% and 3% for
selected apartment and villa developments respectively, as the market continued to absorb the rapid
growth witnessed in 2013.
 A two-tier market became even more apparent as buyers who were priced out of the more popular and
established areas such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah focused on other areas,
such as Jumeirah Village, Dubai Sports City and Dubai Silicon Oasis where prices remained low in
comparison. These areas witnessed stronger growth rates of approximately 10% in Q2 2014.
 Interestingly, established affordable locations such as Discovery Gardens and International City, where
price increases were the strongest over the last 12 months, saw only 4% and 3% growth respectively in
Q2 2014. Any further growth in these communities will position them outside the affordable range, and
consequently lead to a reduction in buyer interest.
 At the same time, less budget sensitive buyers in the premium market are still drawn to established
locations. However, many sellers having raised their prices following the Expo 2020 announcement and
have no intention of reducing their asking prices until buyers matches their expectations. This has led to a
reduction in transaction levels, especially for higher priced properties within established communities.
 We expect further stabilization in Q3 due to the traditional slowdown of transactions witnessed during
summer and Ramadan.
 However, Asteco anticipates the post summer months together with Cityscape are likely to see several
new project announcements that will test demand in the market, giving buyers new opportunities to
invest.
 Recent new launches include projects by Dubai Properties Group such as Manazel Al Khor in Culture
Village; Rahat Villas at Mudon; and 200 new units at Remraam.
 Damac also launched several projects, including NAIA Hotel and Hotel Apartments, 34 premium Fendi
Villas at Akoya Drive, and two hotel apartments at Jumeirah Village, The Vantage and The Constella.
 Emaar continued its string of new launches with Opera Grand, the first residential development in the
Opera District at Downtown Dubai.
 Finally, Danube launched its first project in the UAE called Dreamz, which consist of 171 townhouses with
3 and 4 bedroom configurations located at Al Furjan.
Dubai Residential Leasing
 Similar to the sales market, leasing activity remained relatively stable in Q2 2014, with modest growth
from 0% to 10% witnessed across Dubai.
 Most transactions came from newcomers to the city, rather than internal relocations. Indeed, with rents
increasing steadily since 2013, tenants have elected to remain where they are, and paying the rent
increase, as indicated by the RERA rental index, rather than moving as this leads to additional costs such
as moving costs, agent’s commission, etc.
 Jumeirah Beach Residences witnessed the highest growth of 10% in Q2 as new stock was handed over in
Al Bateen Residences, the first tower in Dubai Marina with a direct beach access.
 Villa rental rates grew by 5%, on average, in Q2 with the popular Jumeirah location witnessing the highest
growth of 12%.
 Jumeirah Village witnessed an 11% increase in rental rates in Q2 due to the villas being amongst the most
affordable in Dubai. A 3-bedroom townhouse would typically achieve rates from AED 155,000 to AED
185,000 per annum.
On the leasing front, the REIDIN Rent Index went up by 17% Y-o-Y and 6% Q-o-Q. Apartments outperformed
villas once again. The apartment rental index improved by 18% Y-o-Y but remains 14% lower than its record
value of Q3-2008 while the villa rental index has reached its highest value since the creation of the index in
January 2009 and has progressed by 13% Y-o-Y.
Secondary locations have continued to recover and have outperformed some of the primary locations during
Q4. As such, rental values have increased the most on a yearly basis in areas as such as Sports City,
International City and JLT while the percentage growth was lower in prime locations such as Dubai Marina or
the Palm Jumeirah.
The Dubai residential market ended the year 2013 with an increase in both rental values and sale prices
across almost all areas. Success in securing Expo 2020 has further boosted sentiment that is causing rents and
prices to increase at unsustainable levels.
Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) expects that while rents and prices will continue to increase during 2014, the rate of
growth will decline from the levels witnessed during 2013.
Investment Opportunity
Tourism and Hotel Supply
Dubai’s tourism sector continued to contribute positively to the economy with strong records of tourists
arrivals into Dubai, following an increase of 17% in restaurants and hotels in 2011. This resulted in an
improvement in occupancy rates up to 77% in Q12012 compared to 74% during the same period in 2011 as
reported by JLL. The years ahead are expected to continue the growing trend of tourism in Dubai. The fourth
quarter of 2012 witnessed a number of major openings, bringing nearly 1,600 additional internationally
branded rooms into the market. As a result, approximately 60,300 hotel rooms are in Dubai hospitality
supply in 2013.
With this being said, the number of employees appointed by the hotels are also ever so increasing. With the
number of hotel rooms supply more than doubling by the end of 2020, the head count of employees working
in these hotels are expected to do the same.
Vertex Towers
The name, Vertex Towers, was inspired from geometry; a vertex (plural vertices) is a special kind of point that
describes the corners or intersections of geometric shapes. Hence the design of the buildings is going to
exemplify the edges and corners of the towers.
The Vertex Towers complex contains four residential Towers accommodating over 1000 hotel staff. The two
towers, which rise to 60 m (197 ft) in height is located in International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) along
the Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Road.
The Vertex Towers will accommodate the rising hotel staff in the Dubai Hotel industry. The towers will consist
of studio, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments. The Towers are set in over 55,740m² of recreational
activities including swimming pool, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi and public seating areas. The towers would also
accommodate a parking space for up to 800 cars.
Location (Proposed)
International Media Production Zone (IMPZ)
The International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) is a free zone and freehold area that caters to media
production companies. Spreading over an area of 43,000,000 square feet (4,000,000 m2), it is located
in Dubai, United Arab Emirates near Jumeirah Village South. The Dubai government has plans to convert this
area into the next generation of Dubai Media City.
International Media Production Zone (IMPZ), part of Tecom’s Media Cluster, is designed to accommodate
companies in the publishing, printing and packaging industry value chain. IMPZ is a 43 million square feet site,
covering commercial, light-industrial, residential and retail facilities. Sony, Xerox and DAMAC are just a few
examples of the companies operating in IMPZ today.
The building is situated in the growth corridor of Dubai near the intersection of Al Khail Road and Sheikh
Mohammad Bin Zayed Road. Being connected to two of Dubai’s major highways.

  • 6. Dubai – a Favourable Market: In less than 40 years, Dubai has transformed itself from a local trading community into one of the most inspirational, exciting and successful cities in the world. Its progress continues to make global headlines and it is now an immensely attractive destination for tourists and businesses alike. With a diverse, multicultural population, Dubai offers its residents and businesses a unique environment, enriched with hundreds of cultures and a quality of life and work unrivalled in the Middle East. It is a bustling metropolis with a combination of Emirati heritage, Arabic vitality, Western spontaneity and Asian ambition. With an indigenous population of just 170,000, the number of Dubai expatriate residents now stands at 2 million, thanks to its lifestyle appeal and investment incentives. The tax-free policies and penalty-free repatriation of earnings have enormous benefits on both a personal and business level, with outstanding opportunities for private savings and professional profits. As thousands of new businesses are discovering each year, Dubai is the perfect gateway between East and West and the preferred hub for the region’s imports and exports market – one of the most lucrative in the world. Dubai’s strategic location gives easy access to 2.2 billion consumers, from a unique centralized time zone that combines East and West business hours. Dubai continues to be a destination for foreign investors and regional institutions to operate from It is strategically located in the centre of a large young population and has proven over the years to be one of the largest growing economic regions in the world-supported by its ability to attract talent and business into the region; notwithstanding the debt fall-out constraint. With its key geographic location and infrastructure, Dubai is seen as the fastest link to rapidly developing markets across the Middle East, Africa, particularly North Africa and South Asia.  Given its financial services infrastructure and corporate regulation framework, Dubai has been able to position itself as the financial centre for the Middle East and North Africa emulating the Singapore model.  Government spending is expected to support growth in the face of weaker external demand  Dubai was able to recover from a credit and real estate crisis. Between the end of 2011 and into the first half of 2012 growth in activities across trade, tourism, logistics and services suggest a favourable economic outlook for the emirate. Furthermore, industry players have renewed their faith in the real estate sector whereby prices have now plateau and are expected to increase in the near future and the appetite for investments and construction is now increasing again with several development projects announced. Dubai's gross domestic product is expected to reach USD 107.1 billion, posting a growth rate of 6.1% in 2014 and exceeding Dubai government's estimates of 5%, according to Citibank.
  • 7. Latest available data from Dubai Statistics Department pegged the emirate's economy at nearly USD 45 billion in the first half of 2013. Dubai's economy has been on a tear over the past 12 month with a slew of data pointing to a new surge in construction activity and a rapid increase in overseas demand for the emirate's travel, logistics and tourism industries. Experts believe that Dubai’s future outlook over the next five years will witness robust and steady growth rates. Between the end of 2010 and into 2011, Dubai proved its ability to rise back and regain momentum. Dubai Market Summary The Dubai real estate market maintained its positive performance in Q2 2014. Although the residential sector saw prices and rents increase across most areas, there are signs that the rate of growth is slowing down with Q2 seeing a marked slowdown in the volume of residential sales, particularly in respect of existing villas. While the retail and hotel sectors continue to experience growth, recovery in the office sector remains patchy, constrained by the large level of supply and high vacancy rates, that are placing pressure on overall rental values. Dubai Residential Market With the residential sector witnessing continued demand from investors, the market has witnessed a number of new project launches and announcements. Contracts have been awarded for around USD 5.4 billion of residential projects over the first half of 2014, while other new projects remain at the announcement or launch stage with no construction work yet occurring. A common theme across many of these projects is an emphasis on sustainability and energy saving features, in line with the recent decision of the Dubai Government to extend its green building codes and regulations to all new real estate projects. Dubai Sales  Similar to the first quarter, Q2 2014 witnessed marginal growth; with sales prices up 6% and 3% for selected apartment and villa developments respectively, as the market continued to absorb the rapid growth witnessed in 2013.  A two-tier market became even more apparent as buyers who were priced out of the more popular and established areas such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah focused on other areas, such as Jumeirah Village, Dubai Sports City and Dubai Silicon Oasis where prices remained low in comparison. These areas witnessed stronger growth rates of approximately 10% in Q2 2014.  Interestingly, established affordable locations such as Discovery Gardens and International City, where price increases were the strongest over the last 12 months, saw only 4% and 3% growth respectively in Q2 2014. Any further growth in these communities will position them outside the affordable range, and consequently lead to a reduction in buyer interest.
  • 8.  At the same time, less budget sensitive buyers in the premium market are still drawn to established locations. However, many sellers having raised their prices following the Expo 2020 announcement and have no intention of reducing their asking prices until buyers matches their expectations. This has led to a reduction in transaction levels, especially for higher priced properties within established communities.  We expect further stabilization in Q3 due to the traditional slowdown of transactions witnessed during summer and Ramadan.  However, Asteco anticipates the post summer months together with Cityscape are likely to see several new project announcements that will test demand in the market, giving buyers new opportunities to invest.  Recent new launches include projects by Dubai Properties Group such as Manazel Al Khor in Culture Village; Rahat Villas at Mudon; and 200 new units at Remraam.  Damac also launched several projects, including NAIA Hotel and Hotel Apartments, 34 premium Fendi Villas at Akoya Drive, and two hotel apartments at Jumeirah Village, The Vantage and The Constella.  Emaar continued its string of new launches with Opera Grand, the first residential development in the Opera District at Downtown Dubai.  Finally, Danube launched its first project in the UAE called Dreamz, which consist of 171 townhouses with 3 and 4 bedroom configurations located at Al Furjan.
  • 9. Dubai Residential Leasing  Similar to the sales market, leasing activity remained relatively stable in Q2 2014, with modest growth from 0% to 10% witnessed across Dubai.  Most transactions came from newcomers to the city, rather than internal relocations. Indeed, with rents increasing steadily since 2013, tenants have elected to remain where they are, and paying the rent increase, as indicated by the RERA rental index, rather than moving as this leads to additional costs such as moving costs, agent’s commission, etc.  Jumeirah Beach Residences witnessed the highest growth of 10% in Q2 as new stock was handed over in Al Bateen Residences, the first tower in Dubai Marina with a direct beach access.  Villa rental rates grew by 5%, on average, in Q2 with the popular Jumeirah location witnessing the highest growth of 12%.  Jumeirah Village witnessed an 11% increase in rental rates in Q2 due to the villas being amongst the most affordable in Dubai. A 3-bedroom townhouse would typically achieve rates from AED 155,000 to AED 185,000 per annum. On the leasing front, the REIDIN Rent Index went up by 17% Y-o-Y and 6% Q-o-Q. Apartments outperformed villas once again. The apartment rental index improved by 18% Y-o-Y but remains 14% lower than its record value of Q3-2008 while the villa rental index has reached its highest value since the creation of the index in January 2009 and has progressed by 13% Y-o-Y. Secondary locations have continued to recover and have outperformed some of the primary locations during Q4. As such, rental values have increased the most on a yearly basis in areas as such as Sports City, International City and JLT while the percentage growth was lower in prime locations such as Dubai Marina or the Palm Jumeirah.
  • 10. The Dubai residential market ended the year 2013 with an increase in both rental values and sale prices across almost all areas. Success in securing Expo 2020 has further boosted sentiment that is causing rents and prices to increase at unsustainable levels. Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) expects that while rents and prices will continue to increase during 2014, the rate of growth will decline from the levels witnessed during 2013.
  • 11. Investment Opportunity Tourism and Hotel Supply Dubai’s tourism sector continued to contribute positively to the economy with strong records of tourists arrivals into Dubai, following an increase of 17% in restaurants and hotels in 2011. This resulted in an improvement in occupancy rates up to 77% in Q12012 compared to 74% during the same period in 2011 as reported by JLL. The years ahead are expected to continue the growing trend of tourism in Dubai. The fourth quarter of 2012 witnessed a number of major openings, bringing nearly 1,600 additional internationally branded rooms into the market. As a result, approximately 60,300 hotel rooms are in Dubai hospitality supply in 2013. With this being said, the number of employees appointed by the hotels are also ever so increasing. With the number of hotel rooms supply more than doubling by the end of 2020, the head count of employees working in these hotels are expected to do the same. Vertex Towers The name, Vertex Towers, was inspired from geometry; a vertex (plural vertices) is a special kind of point that describes the corners or intersections of geometric shapes. Hence the design of the buildings is going to exemplify the edges and corners of the towers. The Vertex Towers complex contains four residential Towers accommodating over 1000 hotel staff. The two towers, which rise to 60 m (197 ft) in height is located in International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) along the Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Road.
  • 12. The Vertex Towers will accommodate the rising hotel staff in the Dubai Hotel industry. The towers will consist of studio, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments. The Towers are set in over 55,740m² of recreational activities including swimming pool, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi and public seating areas. The towers would also accommodate a parking space for up to 800 cars. Location (Proposed) International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) The International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) is a free zone and freehold area that caters to media production companies. Spreading over an area of 43,000,000 square feet (4,000,000 m2), it is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates near Jumeirah Village South. The Dubai government has plans to convert this area into the next generation of Dubai Media City. International Media Production Zone (IMPZ), part of Tecom’s Media Cluster, is designed to accommodate companies in the publishing, printing and packaging industry value chain. IMPZ is a 43 million square feet site, covering commercial, light-industrial, residential and retail facilities.
