Along with the Palm Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali represents one of the most ambitious and striking developments to be attempted. Both projects are the work of developer Nahkeel, who is also behind The World Dubai, The Dubai Waterfront and Jumeirah Village. The Palm Jebel Ali came about as a result of the enormous popularity and interest generated by the 1st Palm project, the Palm Jumeirah. Such was the demand for property on the original Palm Island that Nakheel decided upon building the Palm Jebel Ali, which has all the same freehold real estate and more! Whilst the Palm Jumeirah is now completed, Palm Jebel Ali is looking at completion some time in 2012, but this hasn’t stopped the huge demand for freehold property here!

In fact, the Palm Jebel Ali…

The Dubai property market has witnessed an unprecedented level of growth and expansion over these past few years. From its initial beginnings not much more that a decade ago, Dubai has firmly established itself as a leading global property market, with an ever increasing range of freehold property to purchase. With the free hold property markets legal framework regarding purchases by overseas buyers now very much transparent and clear, purchasing your own piece of Dubai real estate can easily become a reality. However until relatively recently there was still one last big hurdle for the market place to overcome, and that was mortgages

Previously the situation regarding Dubai mortgages was not so positive, with finance only available via a small number of…

The Palm generally refers to the first of Nakheel's Palm projects, The Palm Jumeirah. Since the launch of the Palm Jumeirah, Nahkeel has come up with the Palm Trilogy, which also includes the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira, which can slightly confuse matters, but for the purpose of this blog anyway we will be focusing on the Palm Jumeriah. Nowadays Dubai freehold property developer Nakheel has a reputation of producing ground breaking projects, that generally capture large media and investor attention, and it was back with the Palm Jumeirah in 2001 that this really began. Since then Nakheel has been involved in projects such as the World Dubai, The Dubai Waterfront, Jumeriah Islands and Jumeirah village, all of which have meet with great success, yet it…

If you're looking for a development with a wide range of property from which to select, then may I suggest you consider Nakheels rather substantial development of Jumeirah Village. As far as Dubai freehold real estate goes, you could do a lot worse for your money than to buy at Jumeirah Village. This development features over 2000 Nakheel built villas and townhomes, along with a wide range of freehold properties from other developers. This residential development has proven a great success with buyers and investors, and upon its first release to buyers sold out in record time! So what about it is proving so popular?

Well, first and foremost is location. Jumeirah is Dubai's most sought after and popular area, with great entertainment and retail option…

As the smallest of the seven Emirates that make up the UAE, Ajman could be forgiven for sitting back and watching its neighbors continue to prosper, making using of their greater wealth and resources. However, whilst Ajman might not have the oil of Abu Dhabi or the strong global reputation of Dubai, they clearly don’t mess around here. In fact Ajman was the second Emirate after Dubai to introduce freehold property law! This has almost given them a head start in this regard, and as you can see from the freehold property selection on offer throughout Ajman, they have taken full advantage of it, and now have numerous freehold property developments, both residential and commercial with which to temp buyers with.

With a location between Al Sharjah and Umm…

The Jumeirah Village development is another extension of the Dubai freehold property movement beyond the middle of the city.  The development is another project by Dubai’s leading developer Nakheel, and it is located close to Jumeirah Islands and Emirates Living Community, other leading freehold developments. 

The development is set for completion towards the end of 2009, and it will provide a large quantity of villas and apartments onto the real estate market, which is currently plagued by heavy delays on other freehold projects.  There are very limited supplies of villas that are complete on the Dubai property market, and Jumeirah Village will add an additional 6000 villas and town homes to demanding property investors.  There will also be a number of…
