ALLOCATION THESIS · 2026 OUTLOOK
Where smart capital is moving in UAE.
RAK is in early-cycle expansion (Wynn tailwind + post-handover plans + 7-9% yields). Dubai prime is plateauing — Tier-2 communities (JVC, DSO, Town Square) are catching up at faster pace. Saadiyat is the long-term institutional allocation; Yas is faster-cycle. Sharjah and UAQ are 24-36 months out from real volume — early entries here have asymmetry but require patience.
We rotate allocations quarterly based on cap-rate compression, supply pipeline and macro regime. Independent — no developer sponsorship to cloud the read.
FEES & ENGAGEMENT · TRANSPARENT
How we get paid (and what we don't take).
Flat retainer for the search phase (refundable against success fee). Success fee = % of allocation (negotiated, typically 0.75–1.5%). Written mandate before any sourcing. Zero seller-side commission, zero developer kickbacks — independence is the product.
INTAKE · NDA FIRST
Send us a high-level brief. NDA goes out before specifics.
Mutual NDA before any specific disclosure. Disputes default to ICC arbitration (Dubai seat). We do not publish client names, mandates or transactions without written permission. Press inquiries: clients@uae-prop.com.
