In the dynamically developing world economies, Dubai plays the role of a leader, combining technological innovation, a clear regulatory framework and openness to foreign capital. The city creates an infrastructure that enables efficient business and investment, while its real estate market represents a modern ecosystem with a high degree of security, predictability and long-term potential.

Powerful economy

Dubai is one of the world's fastest-growing economies. Its population has grown at a rate of over three percent per year in recent years, one of the highest rates among developed cities. The country is also one of the world's most important transportation and logistics hubs, significantly increasing the value of local real estate and improving long-term returns on investment.

The real estate market is also supported by the fact that around 90 percent of Dubai's population is made up of expats who need housing and office space and often invest in real estate. IQPRO Real Estate, whose CEO and co-founder Miroslava Nieuwenhuis has been operating in the UAE market for more than 25 years, is also aware of this.

The company is active in both the primary and secondary markets and has deep expertise in property management, financial analysis and B2B services for investors from all over the world. "Investors may find it interesting that we also have extensive experience with the secondary market," he adds, adding that IQPRO Real Estate bases its advice on thorough market knowledge.

Personalized approach

Accurate data is essential for investors. That is why IQPRO Real Estate carries out detailed financial analyses for partners who are considering purchasing off-plan projects. "This involves both market and location analysis. From experience, we can predict the real percentage of return, whether from renting or from the later sale of the property. We include operating costs in the calculation of the return so that clients have an objective overview," the expert emphasizes, adding that the analyses are based on real data and reflect the conditions on the Dubai market.

The company follows clear ethical principles. The owner would rather not sell a property to clients than offer them a meaningless business deal or give them reasons not to buy their pre-selected property. “Our team does not offer properties for sale that we will not be able to rent. This approach distinguishes IQPRO Real Estate from standard intermediaries,” says M. Nieuwenhuis.

The company's work also includes B2B meetings with the aim of understanding the financial capabilities and goals of clients. "We do it differently than others. B2B meetings with clients are important for us to understand their financial capabilities, their intentions of where, in what and why they want to invest. Based on this information, we will build specific offers," emphasizes the expert on the Dubai real estate market, adding that they offer not only residential, but also commercial properties.

Modern investment ecosystem

Dubai has become a global investment hub thanks to its strategic location, favorable government regulations, attractive tax environment and exceptional quality of life. Discussions with investors living in Dubai for over twenty-five years confirm that its stability is mainly based on trust in the system, which provides a solid foundation for investors’ ambitious goals. As M. Nieuwenhuis emphasizes, in Dubai, the government focuses investments mainly on tourism and real estate, which creates favorable conditions for foreign investors. Stability is supported by a strict legal framework, protection of both owners and tenants, and transparent processes through digital applications.

M. Nieuwenhuis describes commercial properties as the most attractive, with yields of twelve to fifteen percent per year. Demand for office space is growing as global companies come to Dubai and set up regional headquarters there. The luxury sector is also strong, with limited supply, where prices are rising thanks to solvent clients.

For residential projects, the average yield is over seven percent, which surpasses traditional metropolises such as London or New York, where the return is around four to five percent. Political stability and security are among the main reasons for investor interest. The attractiveness is complemented by zero personal income tax and nine percent corporate tax.

B2B investment meetings

Strategic B2B meetings are the gateway to Dubai's investment potential. That is why IQPRO Real Estate is organizing such events, the next one on November 30 - December 3, which follow up on the need of investors to obtain a comprehensive, professional and data-based overview of market opportunities. These consultations are designed as an expert forum, within which investors will receive individual analyses, project comparisons, cash flow models, risk scenarios and long-term predictions.

By attending these sessions, investors can gain insight into which market segments are stable, which offer high returns, and which parts of Dubai are experiencing development projects with the greatest potential for capital appreciation. The session provides investors with an advantage as online resources often do not take into account practical experience. This approach allows for tailor-made solutions that reflect the investor’s risk profile, investment horizon, and preferred type of return.

Additionally, the program features a special guest – an investor with 30 years of experience in the UAE – who will share the secrets to selecting properties with the highest capital appreciation rates. His experience complements the team’s expert insights, creating a comprehensive picture of how to navigate one of the world’s fastest-growing real estate markets.
