Mazaya Monthly Real Estate Report -
Week 1 - April 2016
Dubai
The concept and content of these
activities, in the region, has been best
reflected in the success achieved by
the Emirate of Dubai, which is now
renowned – internationally – as a host
city for many exhibitions, across many
industry sectors. With a packed exhibition
schedule, throughout the year, the city
embraces a large number of local and
international exhibitions and other events,
currently amounting to an annual number
of 93; an average of 1.79 events per week.
Dubai has also succeeded in gathering
hundreds of real estate development
companies from all over the world to
offer and regularly showcase their
real estate projects to developers and
investors. In addition to international
MICE events, there are many domestic
real estate exhibitions directed to
different investor segments. Some
of them aim to boost collaboration
between Dubai and other cities, with
others lending focus to ancillary
industries connected to real estate,
like interior design and decoration.
Gulf-based investments in Turkey
reached 30 per cent of the total foreign
investment into the country, in 2015,
with the country’s real estate market
continuing to attract evermore high-
end foreign investors. This is backed
up by direct government involvement in
developing infrastructure and placing
real estate development among its core
priorities for economic development.
Turkey
Al Mazaya’s Report confirms that real
estate activities and events have increased
since the beginning of the current year,
with competition tough among GCC
countries keen to attract investors and
investments to their real estate projects.
The CityScape exhibition brand bears
witness to this and recently expanded into
the Turkish market, with the participation
of 67 companies from different countries.
Many of these companies were from the
UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.
This exhibition has received interest
from a large number of investors and
local and international real estate
companies and aims to motivate
investors from Gulf countries to increase
their stake in other projects, in Turkey.
The exhibition has proven successful
in generating exclusive opportunities
for Gulf investors in the Turkish real
estate market, which is characterised by
its diversity of project sizes and uses.
