A walkthrough of Al Marjan Island as it is being built: current infrastructure, the resort plots still under construction, and the architectural vision for the hotels going up around Oceano. What a hospitality-led island means for somebody buying a residential unit on it.
A fast orientation to the Peninsula masterplan in Business Bay: five towers, what separates them, and the three things to check before you buy into any of them.
A branded golf community above Muscat with beach access, an 18-hole championship course and villas from AED 8.5m. What the numbers mean, who Oman actually suits, and the question nobody asks until they want to sell.
Office investment in Dubai explained for residential buyers: how commercial yields compare, how tenants and leases differ, what the risks are, and where DIFC-adjacent stock sits in the market.
Fitted and furnished offices change the commercial investment case entirely: faster letting, smaller tenants, higher rent per square foot. A full look at the model through Rove HQ in Business Bay.

What these numbers mean, and what they do not
The developer is inferred from the project name — there is no developer column in the
base. So the figures describe our stock, not the company's share of the Dubai
market: a developer sitting on an enormous volume of completed housing can look smaller
here than one whose projects reach the resale market more often.
These are asking prices, not closed transactions. For a specific building I pull the
registered Land Department sales and show where deals actually closed.

— I will tell you which of this developer's projects make sense right now and which
I would walk past.
