  • Both Transaction Levels and Sales Prices for Apartments and Villas
    Property Review Dubai Q1 2015 Report Both transaction levels and sales prices for apartments and villas showed marginal declines over the quarter, whilst rental rates remained relatively stable throughout the city. Q1 2015 REPORT Dubai Q1 2015 Highlights • The trend witnessed in the second half of 2014 continued during Q1 2015; transaction levels slowed and prices softened in selected areas whilst buyers looked for value-for-money projects specifically in completed or close-to-completed developments. • Despite property prices and rentals close to Q1 2014 levels, Dubai remained unaffordable to many and therefore Dubai Municipality and developers shifted their attention to target the underrepresented affordable segment. • For instance, Dubai Municipality announced the allocation of over 100 hectares of land in Muhaisnah 4 and Al Quoz 3 and 4 to developers to build housing affordable to rent for those earning between AED 3,000 and AED 10,000 per month. • Similarly, other projects were launched during Q1 2015 including 1,000 three and four bedroom townhouses at Zahra and Hayat in the new Town Square master-planned development by Nshama, located south of Dubai Bypass Road. This highlights the continuous expansion of the city further inland as developers target the more affordable segments of the market, with Damac having led this trend with the Akoya Oxygen project. RESIDENTIAL Q1 2015 down by 12% compared with -12% TRANSACTIONS Q1 2014. 2 © Asteco Property Management, 2015 Q1 2015 REPORT Dubai Sales Leasing RESIDENTIAL • A general slowdown was witnessed in Q1 2015 in Dubai, both in the number of transactions as well • Apartment rental rates remained stable compared with the KEY TRENDS as values, specifically for lower quality properties.

  • Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a Policy Instrument Assessment
    Master Thesis in Built Environment (15 credits) Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a policy instrument assessment Marco Maguina Academic Supervisor: Catarina Thormark Spring Semester 2011 Master Thesis in Built Environment Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a policy instrument assessment Author: Marco Maguina Faculty: Culture and Society School: Malmö University Master Thesis: 15 credits Academic Supervisor: Catarina Thormark Examiner: Johnny Kronvall Maguina, Marco 2 Master Thesis in Built Environment SUMMARY Recognized as one of the main obstacles to sustainable development, climate change is caused and accelerated by the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from all energy end-user sectors. The building sector alone consumes around 40% of all produced energy worldwide. Reducing this sector’s energy consumption has therefore come into focus as one of the key issues to address in order to meet the climate change challenge. Implementing sustainable construction practices, such as LEED, can significantly reduce the building’s energy and water consumption. Prescribing these practices may however encounter several barriers that can produce other than intended results. Since the beginning of 2008 Dubai mandates a LEED certification for the better part of all new constructions developed within the emirate, nevertheless the success of this regulation is debatable. This thesis identifies the barriers the introduction of the sustainable construction practices in Dubai faced and analyses the reasons why the regulatory and voluntary policy instruments were not effective in dealing with these barriers. Understanding these barriers as well as the merits and weaknesses of the policy instruments will help future attempts to introduce sustainable construction practices. To put the research into context a literature review of relevant printed and internet sources has been performed.

  • Dubai: Uno Spunto Per Una Nuova Lettura Dello Sviluppo Del Territorio
    NICOLETTA VARANI Dubai: uno spunto per una nuova lettura Dello sviluppo Del territorio DUbAI: Uno SpUnTo pER UnA nUovA LETTURA DELLo SvILUppo DEL TERRIToRIo. Dubai, segnata dal contrasto tra la cultura araba e le caratteristiche contraddizioni delle metropoli moderne, è ricca di fascino per la sua posizione tra deserto e mare, e ambita meta del turismo internazionale per lo shopping, il lusso e l’albergo più elegante del mondo. Anche se alcuni studiosi sostengono che non ha e non potrà mai avere una propria identità, attualmente Dubai, capitale dell’omonimo emirato, viene considerata una città medio-orientale con una cultura, una religione, una lingua una “mentalità” decisamente diverse da quelle occidentali. negli ultimi anni Dubai è divenuta famosa nel mondo sia per lo sviluppo di progetti architettonici avveniristici, inconcepibili altrove, sia per la riuscita del processo di diversificazione economica, tanto che la tangibile ricchezza di Dubai non proviene più dal petrolio, ma da una fiorente economia che poggia su quattro settori: lo sviluppo del commercio tradizionale, il ruolo di “rappresentante commerciale”, lo sviluppo turistico e gli ingenti investimenti nella tecnologia digitale. DUbAI: A STARTIng-poInT FoR A nEW TERRIToRy DEvELopMEnT InTERpRETATIon Dubai, identified by contrast between Arab culture and typical modern metropolis’ contradictions, is full of glamour, due to its sea and desert sighting position, besides being an international tourism very sought after destination, for shopping, luxury and the world’s most sumptuous hotel. Though some scientists maintain that it has no identity and that never will have one, for the moment being Dubai, capital of the homonymous emirate, is being looked upon as a Middle East city with culture, religion, language and mentality decidedly unlike the occidental ones.
