The most recognised developers in Dubai must be Emaar and Damac; however, they couldn’t be more different in terms of their approach to sales, development, prices, payment plans and their project deliverables.

Damac has recently announced a profit slide of 58 per cent in 2018 with total revenues reduced by 18 per cent while Emaar has seen profits jump by 42 per cent and its revenue increase by 74 per cent.

Arabian Ranches III

2nd phase launching soon

Sun is the name of the first community of three- and four-bedroom townhouses in the recently launched Arabian Ranches 3, the 400 houses sold out in 48 hours and now we are waiting for the next release expected within a few days

Three beds starting from AED 1.2m available on a six-year payment plan with 60% of the property value payable during the construction period and the balance of 40% is payable over three years post-handover with completion scheduled for April 2022.

Arabian Ranches is the most popular villa and townhouse community in Dubai with a completed three-bedroom townhouse starting at AED 1.7m, so these off-plan homes represent good value in today's market, especially when you take account of the payment plan offer and the free service fees and the DLD fee reduction

A tough choice
A 5* Hotel Branded Residence

I have spent the last few days assisting an overseas buyer with purchasing their perfect home in Dubai – it’s down to the final two excellent options, with Jumeirah Living Marina Gate (JLMG) in Dubai Marina or the Banyan Tree Residences across the road in Jumeirah Lake Towers. 

Both are linked to world-renowned hotel brands; both have a plentiful supply of 5-star facilities, and both offer a luxury lifestyle within a convenient location. Apartment sizes are close, views are good and prices similar, and both have their pros and cons.

Let’s see what they decide.

Banyan Tree will be ready in October 2019, and the buyer needs to pay 30% over the next 6 months with 70% due on handover – one beds from AED 1.4m to 1.75m, two beds from AED 2.3m to AED 2.7m, three beds from AED 3.7m to AED 4.8m, a four-bed penthouse for AED 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 and a two bed ground floor garden duplex at AED 3.1m to 3.7m

JLMG will complete in April 2020 and the payment plan is very buyer friendly with 10% due now, 10% in six months, 30% on completion and the remaining 50% payable over 5 years – studios from AED 1.39 to AED 1.5m, one beds from AED 1.58m to AED 2.33 m, two beds from AED 2.49m to AED 3.548m,  three beds from AED 4.66 to AED 4.85 and they have a very special four bedroom Villa directly on the water at AED 10.65m

Let me introduce you
a bespoke collection of residences and communities

Contrary to some in the market, Emaar is not the only developer in Dubai that is worth buying from. 

They may be the first choice of many as the company has formed a well-deserved reputation for delivering on time within some of the most popular communities in the city. I cannot argue against the value of the Emaar brand, but I can contend their prices, quality and the yields offered on their current properties in comparison to others. 

One developer has emerged on the market in the last four years and is often my first recommendation to buyers asking for an affordable, high-quality home that is also a market-beating Buy to Let investment. Not so well known as Emaar, however, I believe that they will soon be at the top of many buyers lists of preferred developers as more of their projects are handed over and the people will come to know their excellent reputation for delivering well-designed homes built to high standards offering perfect places to live for tenants, end users and investors. 

Simple designs, quality finishes and value driven

Next time you are in Dubai, let me show you the stand out developments from this boutique developer who has rapidly become the quality and design benchmark for new build homes in the Dubai property market.
