Dubai Goverment Developer

01 The Opportunity

A Dubai government developer needed comprehensive market intelligence and strategic guidance for a 6 million sqft ultra-prime waterfront master community. The project aimed to attract global wealth by leveraging luxury market insights and optimal development strategies. Proper market positioning and financial planning were crucial to ensuring its success as a world-class destination for ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

02 The Solution

We provided highest and best-use recommendations for the 6 million sqft development, along with a strategic phasing plan aligned with market absorption. To attract global wealth, we developed a strong brand positioning strategy and recommended an optimal product mix across various asset classes. Additionally, we delivered a detailed pricing strategy, financial projections, and sensitivity analyses to ensure strong financial returns while preserving the project's ultra-prime luxury positioning.

03 The Approach

We conducted an in-depth analysis of the UAE’s prime hospitality market and luxury villa segments. The study also examined marina and yacht club trends, waterfront land sales, and global ultra-prime waterfront developments for benchmarking. Detailed financial feasibility assessments were performed, covering development costs, revenue projections, and sensitivity analyses.
