International real estate investment flows are resurging following a pandemic induced lull with buyers signing up to properties across the Middle East, Asia, Europe and the UK at Cityscape Global, the leading real estate investment show, which continues at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo 2020, until Thursday night (November 11).

Arada Developments received strong interest in the 566 smart apartments it launched in its Aljada mega project

As the show’s 21st edition got into its stride the UAE’s Sobha Realty was celebrating a multi-million-dirham first day sales tally. “We achieved sales transactions of more than AED100 million on the first day as we launched Waves Grande, the second residential tower at the Waterfront District in Sobha Hartland,” commented Ms. Jyotsna Hegde, the company’s President.

“It surpassed all our expectations with a good mix of locals and expatriates buyers,” said Georges El Hachem, Commercial Director of Select Group. “We sold over 80% of Peninsula One within a month of the launch last month, and if the market appetite remains intact, we would be hopeful of reaching similar levels of sales with Peninsula Two.”

Sharjah’s Arada Developments received strong interest in the 566 smart apartments it launched in its Aljada mega project. “Right from the show’s opening we started seeing some good sales, so for us it was an extremely strong start,” said Ed Atwood, Chief Communications Officer, Arada Developments.

As UAE developers processed the interest uptake, Middle East buyers and residents were also planning overseas investments with the UK, the Med and Egypt in the main frame.

Regal London reported a first-day sale of a studio apartment in Watford and ongoing negotiations with Gulf buyers for St. John’s Wood properties. “The solid sale was to an Indian gentleman who is resident in Dubai and bought it for his daughter to live in while she studies in London,” explained Jacob Sullivan, Sales & Marketing Director, Regal London. “There is still interest in the London market from people wanting holiday bolt holes in the UK, for investment or for accommodation for family studying in the capital.”
