Specialist areas

Development land We understand the importance of unlocking the value of land and the mechanisms that ensure such strategies are successful. We appreciate how local markets work, which means we can provide acquisition strategies and development advice that maximise our clients’ financial return. We can assist with land acquisition and disposal strategies, identify the highest and best uses for land, as well as carry out detailed feasibility studies, financial analysis and modelling. We are able to advise on complex development schemes, where construction may have stalled, and assist with identifying joint venture partners. We have a strong track record of selling and acquiring single plots, large mixed use sites, strategic land and plots with change of use potential and have helped many clients successfully complete property transactions.

Retail Our team advises on retail space within existing centres and new developments across the United Arab Emirates. We advise on single units and kiosks to major anchor store lettings. Early tenant selection has repercussions and the right advice at an early stage is essential to ensure a successful future. We understand the importance of creating a successful retail environment where people want to eat, meet and shop. We work with our clients to reach at the most suitable solutions. We provide lease restructuring/renewal advice, tenant and shop line mix optimisation, retail management, service charge management, return on capital employed (ROCE) analysis, key money/ reverse premium analysis and rent reviews.

Industrial agencyHaving acquired and disposed of in excess of two million sq ft of warehousing, we have established a reputation as the leading firm of industrial property agents in the UAE. We have significant expertise in dealing with factories, distribution warehouses and other industrial properties, including manufacturing plants, third party logistics (3PL) facilities and cold storage distribution centres

From free zone to onshore facilities, our surveyors offer advice relating to site selection, leasing and acquisition, construction and project management and build-to-suit services.

Capital markets Like all investments, property carries a degree of risk but our investment team can help minimise that risk and maximise returns. Our team fully understands what drives value and is ideally placed to create asset management strategies to help improve the value of our clients’ assets. We provide comprehensive market reports, cash flow analysis (IRR and NPV modelling), sale and lease-back advice, as well as sophisticated deal structuring support for forward funding and joint ventures. Our fully qualified RICS agents understand commercial investment in the local market and appreciate the need for speed, discretion and integrity. Our record and highly ethical conduct is why our clients repeatedly recommend us to their contacts and associates. Our team of experts provides a critical link between property owners, occupiers and investors to ensure transactions are handled professionally and successfully.
