Dubai’s Global Appeal Reinforced
Dawood Al Shezawi, President of IPS, highlighted the UAE’s sustained momentum in attracting global capital. He credited Dubai’s leadership for cultivating an environment where innovation, regulation, and investment intersect seamlessly.
“Dubai is more than a real estate destination—it’s a global investment hub. The city’s integrated infrastructure, visionary policies, and robust REIT frameworks make it an ideal launchpad for both regional and international investors,” said Al Shezawi.
With Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) gaining traction and major masterplans in motion, Dubai continues to prove why it ranks among the top cities globally for real estate investment.
