Overview
Dubai International Financial Centre is situated in the "new" financial CBD close to The World Trade Centre and the Burj Dubai.
Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has been created to attract the global who's who of the financial services industry in what will be a world-class financial centre.
Designed to rival the likes of London's Canary Wharf, the large investment banks and corporations have begun to move in., there is a significant demand for both office, retail space and accommodation in close proximity.
Over the medium term we expect the DIFC to command the highest values per sq.ft. within Dubai, along with high rental yields as one would expect from property near the business district. Already investment banks (Citi Bank, JP Morgan) have begun to move into the DIFC principally within the impressive "Gate" which represents the first of a number of startling commercial blocks.
30% of the DIFC area will be residential. It has been designed as a genuine, all-encompassing "work, live, and play" community for the elite of the financial business world to enjoy in one strategic location. Additional facilities such as a museum, art gallery and a performing arts centre will add to its overall attraction.
