HOT TOPIC Co-living spaces are set to change the face of Dubai’s off-plan residential market as their popularity gains pace. Simply put, the concept of co-living spaces is focused around the buyer or tenant being able to live and work in the same location; a detail which is important for many who do not want to be caught up in a long daily commute. As such, developers are now creating spaces that address the business and leisure requirements of residents, all in one development. In terms of the more established communities, Dubai Silicon Oasis has had success with co-living and co-working spaces as has Tecom with its Internet and Media Cities and Knowledge Village. More recently, Nshama launched UNA located at the Town Square community and Emaar, The Collective and Socio at MBR City. Apartments: Quarter-on-Quarter movement: (–3%) Villas: Quarter-on-Quarter movement: (–1%) Prices of apartments in Downtown, Dubailand, Dubai Motor Market sentiment in the villa community of The Lakes remained City and Dubai Silicon Oasis continued to remain resilient in the most positive, as there was no movement in prices from Q4 Q1, with these locations witnessing no price movement since 2018.

Over 80% of the new stock delivered in 2018 was apartments, with a similar ratio set to be handed over in 2019. This might explain the consistently higher rate of price decline for apartments, as opposed to villas, given the greater level of supply on the market.

    Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity Dubai’s hosting of the 2020 Expo further authenticates its status as an example of an emerging Arab city that displays modernity through sequences of fragmented urban- scapes, and introvert spaces. The 2020 Expo is expected to reinforce the image of Dubai as a city of hybrid architectures and new forms of urbanism, marked by technologically advanced infrastructural systems. This paper revisits Dubai’s spaces of the spectacle such as the Burj Khalifa and themed mega malls, to highlight the power of these spaces of repre- sentation in shaping Dubai’s image and identity.

  • DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Dubai | 2019 0 Dubai has developed into the retail hub of the Middle East and is the most sophisticated retail market in the region. The proliferation of retail development over the last ten years has led to Dubai having one of the highest retail to population densities in the world. It finished ahead of New York and London for shopping in TripAdvisor’s recently published second annual Cities Survey. Perhaps the best known of Dubai’s plentiful selection of retail malls is The Dubai Mall which is located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai and is one of the world’s most-visited retail and entertainment destination, having welcomed more than 80 million visitors annually over the last five years. Dubai Mall provides over 1,350 retail stores and over 200 food and beverage outlets, together with leisure and entertainment attractions. Its most recent expansion in 2017 provides connectivity to the attractions and amenities in the neighbouring Burj Khalifa. Other high- profile retail malls that dominate the retail market include Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Festival City. International retail brands are predominantly operated under license by ‘retail partners’ who hold licenses for multiple brands in their portfolios. These include groups such as Al Shaya, Landmark and Majid Al Futtaim. Often these retail operators can also be mall developers in their own right. These companies are very powerful in the retail sector and can make the difference between a new mall development securing attractive brands or struggling to attract the right brands and potential failure.
