Middle East property sector shows signs of recovery
Friday, March 27, 2009
According to a new report by Jones Lang LaSalle, the real estate market in the Middle East and North Africa are showing signs of recovery, although the prices in the region may continue to fall during the next six to twelve months.
The first quarter of 2009 has shown some progress in the sector, with green shoots of recovery beginning to crop-up. However, the necessary conditions for recovery are yet to be met, the report points out.
The major factor for recovery of the sector are improved sentiment which would boost confidence and reverse the credit default spiral, which has been widely experienced during the past six months.
According to the report, Dubai lays out vast options for opportunistic investors, given, the correction in prices happening in the emirate. Although the yields can be hoped to increase only in the medium term, the long-term outlook for Dubai continues to remain positive, particularly, with the decline in supply, as several projects are being put on hold or are scrapped off.
The "green shoots of recovery" in the regional property sector was noticed during the first quarter of the year, and the markets are hoped to be in the process of recovery as early as in the autumn, revealed a property consultancy, in its report.
The Jones Lang LaSalle report states that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) economies have begun making progress on 12 out of 17 major requirements for the economic recovery, which includes re-capitalization of Banks, Reduction in future supply of homes, and "concerted government action".
However the economies may still have face serious challenges during the year. Even with so many positive factors noticed during the past three months, the region may still be in the recession stage, with several markets expected to witness downward correction in prices during the year, the Jones Lang LaSalle report states.
However, Abu Dhabi indicates chances of "significant long-term potential", while Dubai has opened up to "opportunistic investors" seeking medium-term and long-term investments. In the meantime, Qatar and Saudi Arabia would remain as the most lucrative markets during this period, the report suggests.
The company expects that following the transition phase, the region will be well-positioned to emerge stronger, with more transparent and better regulated sustainable pattern of real estate development and investment, meant for the longer term.

Diamond Investments announces handing over Marina Diamond IV
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Diamond Investments has announced handing over of Marina Diamond IV, the fourth among the group of six buildings in the Dubai Marina. Diamond Investments, are a new class of property developers in Dubai, and a sister concern of Diamond Developers.
Located in the most luxurious neighbourhoods in Dubai Marina, the Marina Diamond IV comprises 200 units, which includes single and double bedroom apartments with various facilities such as the swimming pool, exclusive children's pool and fully equipped gymnasium.
The CEO of Diamond Investments, Fares Saeed, said "Quality, luxurious environment and reasonable prices have been the major factors behind the Diamond's success. We are committed to develop properties in the most innovative manner, and offer tailor-made commercial and residential space to our customers, for their luxury and comfort."
The units were designed as planned by Diamond Investment, for developing a property that is high in quality and affordable in price. Saeed revealed the company's intention to deliver Marina Diamond V and VI during later part of the year, as the demand would only increase after the handing over of the Marina Diamond IV. This brings the total residential units in Dubai to 1300.
Saeed is of the opinion that this increase would supplement the housing equation and will ultimately lead to better stability and maturity in the Dubai property market.
Diamond Investments is also offering a unique customer service program to its tenants. A committed member of the staff will accompany the buyer during the inspection phase and will address any concern that the new owner may seem to have. Also a staff member will conduct a follow-up during the inspection phase to rectify issues, if any, and will stay vigilant to the customer, once they have moved in.
