Dubai remains a popular destination for real estate investors thanks to a steady rate of property developments, strong legal infrastructure, and high Return on Investment (ROI). Off-plan property has remained a popular choice amongst investors in the region, ever since freehold properties became available to expats back in 2002. In fact, the Off-Plan Property market hit an all-time high back in 2009 with a record 25,000 units sold, and this trend is only growing with each passing year thanks in part to a range of new developments and launches from the local real estate industry.
