DE EERLIJKE BLIK

Sterke punten & aandachtspunten.

Waar Meraas schittert
  • A lifestyle brand platform — justifies higher rents
  • Prime locations in the heart of Dubai (not on the periphery)
  • Bluewaters with Ain Dubai = a tourism destination that drives vacation rentals
  • Government of Dubai backing = low risk
Aandachtspunten
  • Premium segment — high entry prices (2,500+ AED per sqm)
  • Moderate rental yields (5-7%) — more of a capital asset than a cash-flow play
  • Fewer units per project (boutique districts) — strong competition to buy
