Cash-rich Russians are expected to invest more in the UAE real estate market, especially Dubai, given the attractive returns on investment, according to a property developer.
"About 26 per cent of investment in the UAE property market has come from Russians and we believe it will continue further," Steve Nosrat, Marketing Director, Azizi Investments, told Emirates Business. "By showcasing our projects in Moscow, we are ensuring that they are aware of our developments. Moreover, it also offers us a good networking opportunity."
Peter Riddoch, CEO, Damac Properties, said: "More than 120 nationalities have bought our properties and the number is still growing. This includes a significant Russian customer base. We are confident about the Russian market and we expect a considerable increase in interest levels with regard to our projects in the UAE and Dubai in particular."
