Is Dubai Getting Over-Stretched?

Dubai’s bullish economy might be creating ripples across the world, but there is a suspicion among some pundits that it might get over-stretched in the longer run, in its attempt of gaining invisibility. The policy of developing world-class infrastructure to entice investors, entrepreneurs and tourists might be proving successful as of today, but it has also resulted into soaring real estate rates and city congestion in the recent times. This may result into some highly expensive office and living accommodations in a few years from now. Dubai hotels and Dubai apartments, a key area for the local tourism industry and economy, might get hit hard due to sharp price hikes in the future.

Dubai’s office blocks are quoted as the most expensive ones across the Middle East, and the scenario won’t change until many upcoming projects got fully commissioned. There is a growing concern that many existing and prospective buyers might decide to look out for cheaper alternatives elsewhere, within the UAE and outside, both. Many commuters working in Dubai have to spend up to three hours making a round trip from Sharjah. It’s simply out of question for them to reside in a lavishly expensive Dubai. To add to their woes, the public transport system and routes are highly overloaded. Many steps initiated by the city planners to minimize road congestion haven’t produced results until today.

The desire of having the tallest and largest buildings and the fastest growing economy on its soil has led Dubai into a construction mania. Up to 25% of all construction cranes in the world are currently stationed at Dubai. At least fifty of them are employed at Burj Dubai alone to help it rise atop the Arabian sky as the world’s tallest building. Burj Al Arab, the pride of Dubai hotels, is already known to be the world’s largest hotel. There are numerous projects either under way or in the pipeline that could leave even some leading cities of the West dwarfed. This might highly raise Dubai’s real estate rates however, driving away many prospective buyers in a few years from now.

According to a recently issued report by the Middle East Economic Digest, the cost of Dubai’s planned and under way projects is expected to total around $310 billion over the next decade. Up to $230 billion of this capital is expected to go in the property sector alone, indicating at the frenzy about to be unleashed therein. Prices might naturally fall down as a result, once many of the underway construction projects got completed in the longer period. This might tilt the demand-supply ratio in the favor of the latter, making Dubai to be the cheapest destination across the Middle East, say about in a decade from now. You might have to cope with some of the cheapest office blocks, Dubai apartments and hotels, as a result, in the longer run. Dubai apartments are greatly admired across the Middle East for their class, aura and style, and are always in a great demand. Any future fall down in their rates could severely affect the emirate’s economy as well, and that’s a major concern.

Dubai is a city of free-trade, world famous landmarks and soaring dreams. The hospitality extended by Dubai hotels and apartments is universally acclaimed. Investors, travelers and entrepreneurs from across the globe are lining up to be part of its success story. Any misadventure by its own planners could result into serious concerns in the future however, and that’s why some kind of regulation should be placed from within the policy-making elite itself.

Dubai Beach Apartments – A New Fad In Holiday Making

Dubai is fast gaining a cult status in today’s world, not only due to its enviable trade and commerce, but also because of its emergence on the world map as a major tourism destination. The city of Dubai is facing as a result, an onslaught of visitors these days. They include the CEOs, executives, technicians, managers, holidaymakers, rich and famous and almost anybody else that you may think of. This has caused, as a consequence, a great stress on the hotel industry which was catering to most of the rising accommodation demands until recently. The other option, which is now widely being used for lodging is that of hiring privately owned villas and apartments on rent. Experts say they are going to play a significant role in Dubai’s tourism in the years to follow.

Memoirs suggest it was the 1960s that turned out to be a turning point in Dubai’s quest for wealth. They had an impressive growth rate by then due to the ongoing gold trade, which subsequently got aided because of the discovery of oil. Multinationals began converging at Dubai’s seashores with their assets and manpower in a huge fashion, and the sleeping town had suddenly become alive. One can measure the impact of that inflow of men and women from the fact that more than 70 percent of today’s population in Dubai is comprised of expatriates. The rush hasn’t stopped till this date and the queues for visas continue to spread out.

What leaves one disappointed though, is a lack of inexpensive accommodation that can leave you stranded in Dubai. Barring a few low-priced ones, most of the hotels in Dubai are very expensive. In addition, hotel bookings have to be made in advance, which keeping in mind their expenses can prove out to be a costly affair if the meetings had to be rescheduled or cancelled. This is where privately owned apartments, also called Dubai beach apartments, assume great significance for the visitors. They are found not only to be inexpensive, but also carrying with them extra space, added privacy and more facilities when compared against the hotel accommodation.

A majority of these rentals can be found located in Dubai Marina, Dubai beach and other essential areas of the megapolis. State of the art facilities such as high speed Internet, Cable TV, DVD player, swimming pool, gymnasium etc are offered with each property for hire. Weekly house keeping services do also get extended and so are the supplies of bed sheets, blankets, towels, shampoo, shower gel etc met. Apart from houses on rent one may also choose a place to live from the hotel apartment category. Some of these hotel apartments could also be found situated right at the beach, which also means they would have breath-taking sea-shore views for you to get delighted on.

Getting information on those who are providing apartments in Dubai would tell they are mostly real estate dealers. Some of these companies may be found being managed by highly professional teams. The same may not be said regarding others though. It is advised therefore, you did homework before going through any deal. The biggest caution is to know if the house really had a seaside view, in case you were looking for one. You might end up living with a view that was being blocked by several other apartments.
According to the residents in Dubai, ‘you would get to see a new building each new morning you got woken up’. Steps taken to boost the infrastructure have been producing results during the last four and half decades. World’s only seven star hotel stands tall at Dubai’s seashore today. Plans like Jebel Ali Free Zone and Dubai Marina are changing the way people had been thinking about the Gulf as a region. Very reputed bodies like ICC have got their headquarters moved into this famous city now. The world is watching these developments with interest, and willing to be a part of Dubai’s expansion. No doubt, investment, tourism and the number of visitors are going to keep knocking at Dubai’s doors. So would the demand for beach apartments do in the years to come now.
