industry - UAEs commercial real estate is broadly
categorized into leisure, retail, office,
industrial, healthcare and multifamily
(apartments) real estate. UAE has registered an
amazing business vision towards creation and
expansion of commercial property which has
consequently led to stupendous growth in
construction sector. This fast-paced expansion of
commercial construction sector of UAE is
explained below - In early 2000s, crude oil prices were quite
strong and played a pivotal role in rapid
economic growth in emirates nations. Thus, focus
of these nations concentrated on gradual shift
from reliance on hydrocarbon and oi sector
towards diversification which led to boost in
real estate and construction sector. As a
consequence of rapid rise in GDP and boom in real
estate sector, CAGR of UAEs business service ad
real estate sector recorded growth of 20 between
2003-2007.

global economic recession of 2007 accompanied by
falling oil prices causing stagnancy and slowdown
of economic growth and closure and delaying of
many real estate projects in UAE. - Economy grew beautifully after the impact of
crises lost its momentum. In 2011, highest
construction project value was recorded in UAE
(USD 319.1 billion), marking revival of both
commercial and residential real estate industry.

for commercial real estate. - UAE is second most prosperous Arab nation after
Saudi Arabia. Both oil ad non-oil sectors are
contributing to continuous rise in Gross Domestic

of demand for commercial and non-commercial real
estate in UAE. - With sharp rise in GDP gigantic increase in
demand for commercial real estate like leisure
and hospitality buildings, retail buildings,
offices, healthcare buildings (like medical
centers), etc. have been observed. This has led
