MET WITH THE GUIDE OF AL IMPRATOOR ELENA FIRSOVA AND WENT TO THE EXCURSION UNDER THE DUBAI - CITY OF THE FUTURE.

The construction boom swept Dubai in the late 90s of the twentieth century, with the beginning of the construction of the man-made "Palm Islands", and since then it has been gaining momentum. The incredible scale of construction of new and new objects is explained by the fact that the state policy regarding the ban on the sale of real estate to foreigners was revised by the country's leadership and allowed capital holders from outside to profitably invest in the development of urban infrastructures.
In recent years, the Sheikh Zayed highway, framed by skyscrapers, has been extended by 20 km due to new buildings. The city is leaps and bounds moving not only in breadth, but also upward. The new symbol of the city, which once again glorifies Dubai in the Guinness Book of Records, the Burj Dubai skyscraper, which today has reached a height of 630 m, the helicopter flies around no higher than 360-380 meters. A rare bird will reach the top of a skyscraper! The tower, as a fortress, is surrounded by numerous residential apartments, hotels and the giant super-modern shopping center Dubai Mall. From the summer terrace of one of the five-star hotels - The Palace - there is an amazing view of Burj Dubai, the glass-concrete peak of which is visible in all its glory against the background of the old-fashioned castle walls, reflected in the turquoise surface of the pool.
Further, our path lies in the heart of modern Dubai - the area of Business Bay. The triangle "Burj Dubai - Business Bay - Festival City", despite the fact that it has not yet been noted in the systems of car navigators, is a popular place, both among residents of the Emirates and among visitors. The close proximity to the main transport interchanges of the city, many hotels with restaurants and bars, new shopping centers, modern housing - all this attracts potential buyers of real estate here.
Going deeper into the desert, moving in the direction of the bypass road to inspect the construction sites of the global Dubailand ™ project. In order to have a general idea of the territorial scope of the project and the diversity of development, we visit the sales and management office of Dubailand ™. Surely, many of the readers saw a model of an amusement park under construction with a skier, a motorcyclist and a spaceship on the facade at the giant roundabout of the Emirates Road. So, it is precisely this “billboard” that hides the holy of holies of this project - the office coordinating the activities of all the main developers of Dubailand ™, erecting satellite towns, entertainment complexes and sports villages. The building, hidden in the shadow of dense green shrubs and palm trees irrigated by artificial water channels, is surrounded by funny characters from favorite cartoons, dinosaurs and elephants. Against the background of masterfully made dolls, the living Bengal tiger looks very harmoniously behind a glass showcase, meeting guests right at the entrance to the office building. Impressed by the scope of the planned construction, which has advanced for many kilometers towards Al Ain, we pass the Dubai Autodrome, which is part of the Sport City project, we pass the sports town, its residential complex and return to the city, on the coastline - to the new JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residents) and Dubai Marina. These residential complexes originally envisioned providing residents with apartments above the middle class with all the attendant amenities. But while there is a lack of retail and entertainment outlets in the remote parts of the "Marina" and the inaccessibility of beach areas.
Having passed along the trunk of the "Palm Jumeirah" to the permitted border, we made sure that the bulk of the high-rise buildings are already populated, the beach areas are functioning, and the residents are improving their apartments. Remained the final point of visit - the office of Nakheel. On the map of coastal developments and in the water area, a new project has already appeared - Galaxy. It logically surrounds the already poured islands of the Mir archipelago.
After visiting many construction sites in modern Dubai, we summed up, which was not very comforting. It became quite obvious that navigating a huge list of proposals for choosing real estate in Dubai is very difficult not only being outside the country, but also at the place of stay. What is the way out? You need a trustee who is not interested in selling what is currently available in order to get the proper interest, but is ready to work with a client on a long-term basis. Why is it worth giving preference to an independent broker, and not looking for direct access to a real estate developer company, as it always seems that “buying first-hand” is much more profitable than using the services of an intermediary?
Yes, of course, if a large businessman has long “built bridges” with a developer, he has looked after a profitable object and is ready to buy, if not the whole building, then at least several floors, there is a reason for such cooperation. But if the buyer wants to consider various options for investing in real estate, the one-sided focus of developers does not so much help him as he does. Moreover, it often happens that the developer has already sold his property “in bulk”, and the list of his offers is not so diverse. An independent broker, who has access to several developers at once, can offer his client a wide range of various projects under construction, ready-to-rent objects, and exploited real estate in the secondary market.
And yet, if you were visited even by a shadow of doubt about the correctness of your chosen path, do not hesitate to visit the Dubai State Land Department, where they will confirm or deny to you whether the property you are acquiring is being sold as a freehold, or if your broker is registered in the official register, and Does he have the right to work with real estate.
