Dubai’s booming branded real estate segment
The emirate which is riding an unprecedented boom in its real estate market, is set to add to its collection of such properties as it retains the title of the number one city for branded residences, in the world.
Dubai beats out the likes of international realty hotspots such as Florida, New York, and London, according to a report by property consultants Savills.
With 51 such branded residences currently operational, and an equal number set to come onto the market by 2030, Dubai looks to retain the crown for the remainder of this decade.
