This week Emaar founder Mohammed Alabbar said he is confident the emirate’s property prices still have “great potential” to grow, and that the emirate’s prices should be studied in comparison to other global cities.
In an interview, he told Arabian Business: “Compare the price per square meter in Dubai to Shanghai, to New York, to Chicago. I challenge you to do that and not come to the conclusion that Dubai property is still a cheap deal.”
