Dubai is one of the most innovative and progressive cities in the world. There is a huge real estate market and the largest crypto hub in the region. Today, Dubai attracts many investors from different countries. Of course, it is not alone. The tokenized real estate market is also developed in New York, Singapore and other cities, but Dubai stands as a monolith.
In this article, we will share three main reasons why Dubai has become the capital of tokenized real estate.
Favorable climate for blockchain companies
The city aims to become the world's first fully blockchain-centric city by 2030. To make it done, Dubai has launched a number of projects and initiatives related to real estate tokenization.
- Dubai Future Foundation is an organization that supports and promotes innovation in Dubai. She created the Dubai Future Accelerators platform, which allows startups and corporations to find each other. One of the areas the platform focuses on is real estate tokenization.
- Dubai Blockchain Strategy is a strategy that was launched in 2016 by the Government of Dubai with the goal of using blockchain technologies to improve the efficiency, security and transparency of government services.
- Dubai Land Department is the department that is responsible for registering and regulating all real estate transactions in Dubai. It became the first government agency in the world to transfer all its data to a blockchain platform. It also launched the Real Estate Self Transaction (REST) project, which allows investors and developers to conduct all real estate transactions online.
Progressive initiatives and low taxes are attracting technology companies to the city, including those involved in tokenization.
Legal protection
Dubai also provides a high level of security, stability and legal protection for real estate investors. The city is included in the TOP 20 Global Smart City Performance Index for 2023.
Dubai also enjoys a stable political and economic situation, unaffected by regional conflicts or crises. The emirate also has a developed and flexible legal system that regulates the real estate market in Dubai.
All this encourages companies and investors to enter the Dubai market.
Developed real estate market
Real estate accounts for about 22.5% of the emirate's total GDP - more than oil and tourism combined. There are elite residential areas, luxury hotels, and upscale business centers. In general, there is plenty to choose from. In addition, real estate prices here are relatively low compared to other global cities such as New York, London and Hong Kong.
And the city doesn't stop there. Right now, Dubai is building the Dubai Urban Tech District, a new tech district that will be located in the Al Jaddaf area. Offices, laboratories, research centers and other facilities related to new technologies will be located there. Construction of the area began in 2022 and should be completed by 2030.
Conclusion
Dubai has become the capital of tokenized real estate for a reason. It has everything: a developed real estate market, low taxes, security guarantees for investors and room for innovation. All this is the result of the consistent work of the city authorities. The favorable economic climate has attracted developers, blockchain companies and investors to the city.
