Dubai's luxury real estate thrives among upheaval

Mario Volpi, head of sales at Dubai property consultancy Cluttons, said the exclusivity of properties is a good gauge of their popularity during a downturn.

“Agents don’t have these kinds of properties on the market every day, [and] there are high-net worth people coming through and a lot of locals in this price bracket,” said Volpi, who has an Emirates Hills villa priced at AED60m on his books.

Villa owners in the development include the family of the late Pakistani president Benazir Bhutto, founder of THE One interiors store, Thomas Lundgren and Indian petrochemicals tycoon Yogesh Mehta.

“[We’ve had interest from] very high-net-worth individuals. Qatari and Saudi buyers linked to oil, they have spare money,” said Volpi.

The development is particularly popular among rich buyers from emerging markets in Asia and Europe, said Ghassan Ghellal, head of business development at Halcon Properties.

“It’s increasingly popular with cash-rich millionaire and billionaire expats from India, Pakistan and Russia,” he said.
