Freehold Property in Dubai Locations

The map below shows locations of property developments in Dubai that are expected to be freehold for expatriates (as of July 2006). Information from Gulf News article 06 July 2006 (archive.gulfnews.com/articles/06/07/06/10051808.html - not available, 15 October 2009). Other property developments available for expat purchase are expected to be 99 year leasehold (subject to change).

Freehold locations include

• Burj Dubai - Downtown Dubai development with the tallest building in the world.
• Business Bay - near Downtown Dubai, expected to be a business and commercial center of Dubai.
• Discovery Gardens - apartment development (studios and 1 bdrm) between Sheikh Zayed Road and Emirates Road, near Ibn Battuta shopping mall. Studios are good value for money.
• Dubai Marina - apartment development around a man made puddle on the coast. DM overall is an Emaar development but individual apartment buildings are from a variety of developers. One of the largest complexes is the Jumeirah Beach Residence.
