Property market on the way to recovery

Dubai’s property market will recover by the end of 2011 as mortgages become easier to obtain and more people move to the city. Dubai, the second-biggest sheikhdom in the UAE, experienced the world’s worst property slump during the global recession, with selling prices falling by more than 50 percent and project cancellations exceeding $300 billion. To sustain itself, Dubai Pearl is relying on $1.5bn paid for apartments in advance and another $500 million that has been committed by Al Fahim Group.
Dubai Pearl is building four 73-story towers connected by a single roof less than a mile from the emirate’s palm-tree shaped man-made islands shaped like palm-trees. The project, which has the same name as the company, will have 20 million square foot (1.9 million square meters) of hotel and residential space. MGM Grand, SkyLofts, Bellagio, and Baccarat are among the six hotels that will have 1,400 rooms. The main structure will be surrounded by an artificial beach and low-rise buildings containing malls and theaters. The project is scheduled for completion 2013.
