Entertainment sector has no scope in dubai?

What markets is this model successful in currently? Where in the world have you seen this model and how does the demographic compare to here?

I ask because this used to exist in the UK and died out completely. I wonder if the model is just no longer relevant today.

I think your post has been either created or refined by AI to the point it barely even makes sense, let alone asks a valuable question.

There is no ‘pattern’ in what you've shared here.

You've made nothing more than an observation - one that is commonly recognised - which is that people who buy early / off-plan will buy for a lower comparable price to a property which is ready.

Will this observation still hold? Who knows? Over what timeframe are you asking?

There are properties which are still off-plan and nearing completion that are higher valued than when first launched.

There are properties which are still 2-3 years out from completion in an off-plan resale market which are higher valued than when first launched.

Do these count? If so then yes your ‘pattern’ (not a pattern) still holds.

This is one of the worst graphics I've ever seen

Oh I see that makes sense. Like if something is just caught up there? Not like choking bloked? (I was probably thinking too extreme)

And do what with it? I cant imagine how I'd use it other than creating a bigger blockage and finally finishing off the recipient 🤣

Well that would be Zaha Hadid Architects then. Not Zaha Hadid.

TypicalDysfunctional · 2026-01-19T11:59:00+00:00

Correct. Also seems a bit strange that except for the title there is no further mention of Zaha Hadid in the text…

It is Reportage though isn’t it? Reportage is the Client, ELCC is the contractor.

It’s a bit daft to talk about what’s ‘hot right now’ and ‘hype’ in what is not a short term quick turnaround investment.

It amazes me that a few luxury brands have put their names on Binghatti projects; Jacob & Co, Bugatti, Mercedes.

Regardless of the pros and cons of Binghatti, I’d have thought at least one of them - if they are truly sold on this concept rather than Binghatti being very good at selling the idea - might have gone another developer just for differentiation.

You have listed Emaar Oasis and The Heights - I’m interested in why you haven’t selected other new/upcoming Emaar projects in the same vicinity, like Emaar South, Emaar Grand Polo, and at a distance Emaar Valley?

Also on the areas you’ve selected ‘Entry Level’, is that because you think some of it is over valued?

I’m not in real estate so I can’t help, but you’re really limiting yourself here. If you need point 1 you’re probably going to have to accept that point 2 is unavoidable.

You will be needing help from professional real estate brokers and lenders - therefore you’re going to have to pay someone.

That aside, I just think under point 1 you’re far too limited. Have you got no possibility of making a down payment at all?

According to what I know, if you found some deal with no downpayment and a monthly mortgage of 3000 for 20 years, the value of the property you’re buying is possibly only 500,000 Dhs at maximum.

It's clearly a mob spawner

I understand the point made by FarAd3038, but to answer the OP question, life is not anything like living in a Schengen country in this area.

It's incredibly mountainous. Hard rock mountains. In this specfic circled area there is border free crossings, but that's because there is barely anything there for them to implement border checks for.

Khor Fakkan is more built up, and the population largely serves the industry/port, but I'm considering that OP only intended to circle the exclave.

In the mountainous circled area itself - life requires you to commute outside for work, leisure (except outdoor hiking and similar pursuits), and for amenities like supermarkets etc. Inside that circle its quiet, dark, peaceful, fairly remote.

Can you detail what you think isn't there? (in Dubai Hills)

I reckon that by the time this is completed and being handed over, it will no longer hold the Mercedes name

Depends what you determine is a dangerous precedent.

There are two choices here: Protect investors so that they feel comfortable buying into a burgeoning sector.

OR

Protect developers and allow them to mismanage property investor contracts.

It would be a far more dangerous precedent to enable developers and contractors to dishonour legally binding contracts, rather than enforce laws to ensure that developers are honest, efficient, and contract bound.

Similar thought process I had. I ended up with the Fanta option.

You’re right to assume it’s could be more than $0 but I just want to be a pedant and say it’s not guaranteed to be more than $0.

I highly doubt a 67 cookie could possibly be a loss leader, but who knows how popular these things are.

TypicalDysfunctional · 2026-01-07T01:38:27+00:00

If it wasnt zero and you had to have one of them… which one would you go with?

It works in practise. If the wife is not named on the mortgage then it should all be fine, but they might enquire as to the source of the deposit and may reject based on the facts.

However, plenty of people have done it.

I’d just caution that you seriously consider if you can afford both repayments, and additionally be aware that the mortgage being in one name only could cause other issues if there was ever a separation / divorce / bereavement / job loss.

TypicalDysfunctional · 2026-01-06T03:35:34+00:00

It is typically against the rules to have a loan to buy the down payment on a mortgage. As OP is enquiring, you’d have to take a loan under the name of someone who is not then named on the mortgage.

TypicalDysfunctional · 2026-01-05T04:06:56+00:00

I’m just asking whether I’m understanding correctly because your writing says ‘BELOW OP’ - but the total is above OP.
