Posted on March 28, 2012 by user

The signs of recovery are evident in major commercial and residential sector of Dubai real estate. Real estate experts and agents believe that making an official statement about the status of regions realty market would be too early right now. This conscious attitude is reflection of the disappointment they have been facing against their high expectation from the market. It is however still a fact that from villas’ rents to price of offices in prime districts, the value of property has subsequently increased in Dubai over the first quarter of 2012. According to certain reports, the most prominent of this price rise is observed in Dubai rent of commercial sector where owners of shops and stalls in shopping malls have been experiencing increased retail sales.

When experts appear hesitant to make certain claims, there are valid reasons behind it than mere fears. Ever since the crash of Dubai real estate, the tourists from Asian and European countries find the city more affordable and for this reason, the tourist activity has increased in Dubai. These tourists find the tax-free retail setup of the city very likable, they are reported to have spent more during 2011 and 12. Now, the increase spending by tourists on retail products has no stronger link in stabilizing the property business of the region, but the tenants are already asked to pay more rents for their shops in known malls of Dubai.

The tourist activity in Dubai is triggered by the popular events such as Dubai Fashion Week, Dubai Shopping Festival, and cricket series as well as inauguration of new malls and hotels. The developers and investors are always looking for more means to make their projects as stunning and majestic as it can be. So expecting the tourist activities to slow down during any part of the year would be against the very theme of making Dubai a city larger than life. These are the tourists, who pave way for the investors and companies. These companies later make the area more desirable for rest of the people, ensuring more visitors and thus the circle goes on.

Right now, it may appear that the tenants of shops and stalls in Dubai are under the burden of increased rents but the fact remains that they are the first beneficiaries of resuming activity in the retail as well as UAE real estate.
