Best of: International Property Show

The International Property Show is all set to feature exhibitors from 100 countries, bringing the world’s renowned property developers, consultants, traders and investors from today to Wednesday at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The show is positioned as a one-stop shop for investors, end users, consumers and real estate professionals from the Middle East and the rest of the world. 

 

Over the past ten years, it has attracted around 99,883 visitors, with the UAE generating the highest value of deals. An average 13,680 sq m of display area has been allocated every year for the event.

 

Why you should be at the International Property Show 

 

Licensed by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, the show is the only one of its kind that provides direct real estate transactions on its floor where all exhibitors are officially entitled to collect down payments for transactions made as well as present title deeds to purchasers at the show. The International Property Show triggered transactions of more than $40 billion (Dh147 billion) between 2006 and 2015. It’s a great place to catch up on the latest modern sustainable technologies and trends that are conquering the market, such as recyclable houses, as well as stay up-to-date on topics such as security and quality of the real estate projects.

 

Worldwide exhibitors 

 

Companies from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, India, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, the US and the Philippines are all present. Similarly, the show will tackle offerings from the relatively new up-and-coming markets such as Greece, Australia and Canada.

 

Show highlights 

 

One of the world’s oldest art auction houses and Emaar Properties’ broker, Christie’s International Real Estate, is the Platinum Partner for the current edition. 

 

“Integrating centuries of experience with a hand-selected network of talented brokers, Christie’s International Real Estate will be this year’s highlight,” says Brian Etemad, CEO of Christie’s. The Silver Sponsor of the event is Wahat Al Zaweya, an eco-friendly, self-sustaining mixed-use community spread over 22.7 million sq m at the Faqaa corridor in Al Ain. It is showcasing units adjacent to the Dubai-Al Ain highway, which links the urban, industrial, and tourism centres of Al Ain, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Hatta. 

 

Organiser speak

 

“We attract participants from new countries following an in-depth study of their markets, to ensure display of effective opportunities to investors in the UAE and the wider GCC. We also organise a pre-event networking function to put together confirmed participants and visitors prior to the actual kick off. We anticipate trade visitors from more than 100 countries.”

 

“Due to the current uncertainty in the sector, and the emergence of first-time buyers and those looking for affordable housing options, the International Property Show serves as the best platform to showcase these trends and practice them on-site. Investors are able to experience these trends and measure their financial returns directly on the exhibition floor.”
