Abu Dhabi Property Prices To Keep Rising.

There really is more to the UAE property market than just Dubai real estate, honest, which Abu Dhabi is now really beginning to demonstrate. Whilst the current outlook for Dubai property is gloomier by the day with developers reducing their staff numbers and developments being canceled or put on hold, just a short ride down the road in Abu Dhabi the situation has been progressing in a different manner. Whilst Dubai property burst on to the scene with a large bang and with much glamour and pizzazz, Abu Dhabi was quietly and successfully going about its own business. Whilst Abu Dhabi has not witnesses the feverish buying frenzy that was recently witnessed in Dubai these past years, it has enjoyed a strong and consistent level of demand, something which according to the latest Citigroup report should see Abu Dhabi real estate prices continue to rise despite the current negative financial environment.

One area of Abu Dhabi real estate that has been in particular demand is commercial and office space. Rental prices for prime located offices have continued to soar these past three or four years, up some 40% in 2006, 10% in 2007 and even 2008 has seen increases reach 14%. A shortage of commercial real estate options in Abu Dhabi is the key factor behind the rental increase, with demand to purchase such real estate ever growing. And yet despite all this Abu Dhabi prices still lag someway behind the likes of Hong Kong, London and Moscow, so there is still plenty of room for the market as a whole to grow and maneuver. And residential property demand in Abu Dhabi again looks strong due a continued undersupply of such property until at least 2012. All of which spells good news for property here, as demand certainly doesn’t look to be a problem for the time being, but what about financing and credit problems? After all demand doesn’t matter if you can’t finance the building of such projects.

Well this of one area that Abu Dhabi enjoys a distinct advantage over Dubai property, as it has accumulated huge reserves of wealth, and despite falling oil price, will have no problems it is ability to finance real estate project, something other places could only dream of. So for the moment Abu Dhabi property looks set to remain strong with both demand and financing issues witnessed elsewhere not really posing such a problem here

Ultimate Luxury The World Islands Dubai

Dubai’s most exclusive address used to be anywhere within the Emirates Hills development. Well, not to be outdone, Nakheel, the developer of unique projects, has topped the mansion development of Emirates Living Community with The World Islands. This development is not for the faint hearted, or anyone but the super rich, as this development consists of 300 islands arranged in the shape of the world map, located just off the coast and the ultimate Dubai property address.

As the project has based its design on the map of the globe, this has made certain islands within the project highly desirable. The costs of the islands range from $20 million to $50 million, meaning you need to have a big budget to afford one, and since no infrastructure is included in this, buyers then have to develop their purchased islands themselves. While there have been considerable investments by individual wealthy buyers, there have also been a lot of purchases by companies hoping to develop the islands for hotels, resorts and smaller freehold developments.

The Select Group is just the latest Dubai real estate developer to announce plans for the islands they have purchased. The company has bought France and Spain, two significant and highly demanded islands, and plans to create a world-class development called Aquitainia. The development will offer the most exclusive address in Dubai, residents of the development will have to reach Aquitainia by boat, but by providing the finest service, luxury and facilities, this is sure to be a highly desirable address.

The other islands that form The World Islands are also set to be changed into private resorts, expansive villas and even tourist attractions. With access to the islands restricted to boat or seaplane, the islands really do offer a level of exclusivity that cannot be found anywhere else. So, if you are in the market for your very own island, then why not buy yourself a whole country on The World.

There are also a range of more exclusive apartments at JBR, which include terrace apartments, penthouses, lofts, garden apartments and duplexes.
