Investing in Dubai Creek Harbour

Creek Harbour is a newer waterfront master plan with clean infrastructure, promenade retail and Downtown skyline views. Handovers are still ongoing, so the tenant market is maturing.

Service charges are moderate for a waterfront product, generally in the mid teens per square foot. Because most stock is recent, maintenance costs in early years tend to be low.

Rents are still finding their level as new buildings complete. Investors should test a conservative rent and a longer void when running the numbers on a handover-stage purchase.
