6 Promising UAE Areas for Real Estate Investment in 2025 and Beyond
The UAE real estate market continues to demonstrate steady growth, attracting investors from all over the world.
Analysts at Whitewill have identified six of the most promising areas for investment, promising high returns as early as 2025 and significant growth potential by 2030. Let's take a closer look at each of them
Dubai
Dubai Creek Harbour: This area attracts with its combination of modern infrastructure and developed green area, as well as a convenient location near the city center and its own waterfront. Prices for apartments start from $391.5 thousand, for villas - from $1.35 million. The expected rental yield is 6-6.8%. Investments here are suitable for those who are looking for a balance between comfortable living and stable income.
Business Bay: An ideal place for investors focused on short-term rentals. The location next to the International Financial Centre (DIFC) and the Dubai Canal ensures high demand for real estate. Studios and apartments with one or two bedrooms cost an average of $378 thousand, with a yield of 6-7%. This area is ideal for those who want to quickly receive rental income.
Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC): This is a large, well-developed residential complex with extensive amenities including parks, shops and restaurants. (Detailed information on prices and yields in JVC was not included in the source data, so please check with a real estate professional.)
Dubai South: An area focused on long-term capital growth. Prices here are still relatively lower than in other areas of Dubai, making it attractive to investors looking for a better entry into the market. The area is close to Al Maktoum International Airport. Prices for off-plan apartments start from $216,000, with expected yields of 6-8%. Experts predict that housing prices in this area will increase by 15-25% by 2030.
Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah
Yas Island: It is a center of entertainment and recreation, which ensures stable demand for both short-term and long-term rentals. Villas cost from $1.2 million, apartments - from $324 thousand to $1.03 million. Rental yields are 6.5-7%, which makes it an attractive option for conservative investors.
Al Marjan Island: This area is attracting attention due to the construction of the Wynn resort, the first casino in the UAE. This significantly increases the investment attractiveness of the area. Prices start from $158 thousand per unit, and luxury properties are offered from $8.1 million. Rental yields are impressive - 8-9%, and in some cases can reach more than 20%. However, a high level of profitability is associated with a higher level of risk.
Conclusion
The choice of area for investment in UAE real estate depends on the individual goals and preferences of the investor. Each of the areas considered offers unique opportunities and levels of profitability.
It is important to carefully consider each option, taking into account the risks and potential returns, and to consult with real estate professionals before making a decision. Remember that any forecasts are just that, forecasts, and the real estate market, like any other market, is subject to fluctuations.
