Dubai Sports City is situated in the Dubai land project, and up on its completion is set to become the world’s first purpose built sports city.
For many years ‘location, location, location’ was the mantra of many estate agents, especially those in the more developed and traditional real estate markets. Over the past few years however, this ultimately sound ideology seemed to have lost its way amongst the increasing number of launches and construction sites of the increasingly frenetic Dubai real estate market. As the property investment bandwagon gathered pace, sound fundamentals seemed to have become secondary considerations as people chased the high yields and substantial returns on offer.
More recently however, following the global events that have occurred over the past couple of months, a more considered approach seems to be emerging amongst investors in Dubai. A more considered approach to property investment seems to be emerging, with investors performing a greater degree of due diligence on developments before choosing to invest. The result of this will be a ‘move to quality,’ with investors choosing to place their money where they see genuine long term potential for growth. Iconic developments such as Dubai Sports City will be amongst the key beneficiaries of this shift.
So what is Dubai Sports City, and why are so many investors now looking to invest in this iconic development?
