Apartments for Sale in Business Bay

For more than 20 years, Dubai has been one of the most attractive cities for foreign investors. This is due to strong economic growth, developed tourism, trade, financial services, logistics and transport. The emirate has created the optimal conditions for business and career building in different areas. Plus the active construction of not only hotels, but also commercial and residential real estate has caused high investment interest among foreigners. In 2020-2021 the yield of local real estate reached 8%, which is markedly higher compared to other megacities. For example, in London, this figure holds at 3% per annum.

Business Bay is a business and commercial center of the city, but here, in addition to commercial real estate, residential properties are also actively being built. In this area of developed infrastructure there are many entertainment and shopping facilities, cafes and restaurants, kindergartens and schools, and medical clinics. There is plenty of public transportation available to get to Business Bay by bus, subway or by the DC1 and DC2 ferries.

From Business Bay it takes 15 minutes to get to the free Jumeirah Beach but relaxing by the water is also possible in the area. After all, this is where the Dubai Water Canal flows, along which a promenade with a pedestrian zone and bicycle paths has been built.

This canal is one of the attractions of the area. The second landmark is the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, which until 2018 was considered the tallest hotel in the world. But now the Gevora Hotel has the accolade. However, it is only a 10-minute drive away.

Thus, the Business Bay area, being the business and commercial center of Dubai, remains a comfortable and attractive place to live.

Villas and houses for residence in the area are few, the main development here – skyscrapers with commercial and residential premises, are hotels. That’s why investors are looking at these options.
