2022 proved to be a successful year of the real estate in Dubai. Investors purchased properties on the very convenient conditions and have already started to get ROI. If you have been looking for property in Downtown for sale, as this area is one of the most promising ones in 2023, you’d better hurry up, as the area is going to have a couple of the new projects being developed.
Real estate in Dubai
According to Knight Frank forecasts, between 2022 and 2025, about 100,000 properties are planned to enter the market in Dubai, with more than 70,000 of them this year, which is a record figure since 2009, when 120,000 real estate entered the market.
However, it should be taken into account that 30–40% of the commissioning announced in 2022 will be postponed to 2023 due to construction delays.
At the same time, only 15% of the new supply will be villas, which will keep the demand for them at a higher level than for apartments.
Overall, Dubai's average residential property value is still 26.6% below the latest market high. At the same time, in 2023, in the mass segment, the enthusiasm in the market may weaken. It is likely that prices will begin to stagnate due to weakening demand, but they most likely will not decline. In the elite segment, in 2023, price growth, on the contrary, will only intensify due to a shortage of supply. Thus, only 2,700 units will enter the elite market this year, which is 3.6% of the total planned supply.

Downtown area
Downtown Dubai is the heart of the city, the most luxurious and most expensive area. It is full of business and tourist life. Emaar, the largest development company in the UAE, is responsible for the construction of Downtown. Currently, there are more than 30,000 properties for sale, including luxury apartments with panoramic windows and views of the Burj Khalifa, and small cozy apartments in complexes with low-rise buildings.
Downtown is located in the center of Dubai. It is here that the main attraction of the UAE - the Burj Khalifa tower is located. And at its foot are the famous dancing fountain and the Dubai Mall.
Construction of the area began in 1998. Residential and office skyscrapers have grown on the site, as well as hospitals, schools and kindergartens. Hotels, entertainment centers, banks, boutiques and restaurants have opened. The Downtown area in the city continues to develop even now.
The territory is of interest to foreign investors, as it is a freehold zone where non-residents are allowed to purchase real estate. The tourist attraction of Downtown guarantees a high income from short-term rentals.
Advantages of Downtown Dubai
- Convenient location.
- 20 minutes drive from Dubai Airport (about 13 km).
- Developed infrastructure.
