BENEFITS OF DUBAI PROPERTIY INVESTMENTS

There are many benefits of investing in residential or commercial property in Dubai. Dubai is perhaps the most vibrant developing city in the world, a fact recognised by private and institutional investors, as well as the corporate world.

Eight out of the world's largest companies now have major offices in the city, and nearly 400 of the Fortune 500 companies are represented there too.

The Emirates is rich with the proceeds of oil production which has formed the backbone of the economy for many years, but the government has the foresight to know that this will not always be the case and is investing heavily in diversifying its own economy. Indeed it has set targets concerning its GDP (gross domestic produce), and stated that by 2010 only 10% of its GDP will be from the oil industry. Such has been its committment that this target was smashed four years early, in 2006. Growth in Dubai's leisure, tourism and commercial sectors has been so swift that oil represented only 3% of the GDP in 2006.

Some other facts and figures about Dubai:
- 0% income tax, 0% capital gains tax
- 0% corporate tax
- No foreign exchange controls
- No trade barriers or quotas
- Stable, freely convertible currency pegged to the dollar

Some facts and figures about the developers we represent:
- $20bn conglomerate with a diversified range of businesses (including property development)
- Employs over 8000 people across operations in 20 countries
- Its property development business is the Middle East's largest private master developer, and one of UAE's largest private businesses
- 4200 million sq ft of luxury and 9500 customers, across developments in 6 countries
- 16 offices, 68 projects

Some investment and return figures:
Lake Terrace (2003 - now) - 63% annual appreciation, 190% total appreciation
Lake View (2004 - now) - 56% annual appreciation, 111% total appreciation
Lago Vista (2005 - now) - 34.5% annual appreciation
Marina Terrace, launched in 2003, investors have made 228% total appreciation plus 23% rental yields
Waves, launched in 2002, investors have returned 213% appreciation and 19% rental yields

The pros of Residential v's Commercial:
Residential - strong capital growth, good rental yields, taper relief 40% after 10 years
Commercial - stronger capital growth, better rental yields, taper relief 75% after 2 years

About Dubai

City Of Future
Few modern cities can compare to Dubai - a land where the sands of the desert reveal the potential for one of the most significant international hubs of the 21st century. In this city, quality is not just a strategy. It is a style of working, living and thinking - contributing to the growth and success of a vibrant community.

Dubai's growth in the last decade has been phenomenal; and there are only signs of faster development, with massive real estate and leisure projects attracting international attention. The city has built an enviable infrastructure and earned a reputation for constantly reinventing itself, chalking out strategic plans for development.

Dubai is an international success story in terms of economic development; and a monument to modern architecture, being home to landmarks like the Burj Al Arab - the world’s only seven star hotel; and the two palm shaped islands considered the eighth wonder of the world. Over 45 mega development projects are currently underway here, including the Hydro polis, a hotel that will be built partially under the sea; and Dubailand, a new £3billion Disneyland style theme park.

Economy
Dubai's gross domestic product as of 2006 was US$46 billion. Although Dubai's economy was built on the back of the oil industry, revenues from oil and natural gas currently account for less than 3% of the emirate's revenues. It is estimated that Dubai produces 240,000 barrels of oil a day and substantial quantities of gas from offshore fields. The emirate's share in UAE's gas revenues is about 2%.

Dubai is an important tourist destination and its port, Jebel Ali, constructed in the 1970s, has the largest man-made harbour in the world. Dubai is also increasingly developing as a hub for service industries such as IT and finance, with the establishment of a new Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The government has set up industry-specific free zones throughout the city. Dubai Internet City, combined with Dubai Media City as part of TECOM (Dubai Technology, Electronic Commerce and Media Free Zone Authority) is one such enclave whose members include IT firms such as EMC Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft, and IBM, and media organisations such as MBC, CNN, Reuters and AP.

Property
The government's decision to diversify from a trade-based but oil-reliant economy to one that is service and tourism-oriented has made real estate more valuable, resulting in the property appreciation from 2004. Large scale real estate development projects, undertaken by firms such as Damac Properties, have led to the construction of some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, and luxuriously appointed residential and commercial units.

Recently, the Land Department set up the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) to regulate developers and safeguard consumers from errant parties, which is seen as a good move to protect the increasing numbers of overseas property investors. All developers are required to register with the RERA, provide documents and verifiable facts about their properties, and setup escrow accounts to protect consumers' money.

Financial Market
The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) was established in March 2000 as a secondary market for trading securities and bonds, both local and foreign. As of Q4 2006, its trading volume stood at about 400 billion shares worth US$ 95 billion. The DFM had a market capitalization of about US$ 87 billion.
