Dubai Marina - still one of the most popular spots for renters and buyers
BETTER NEWS
RENTAL HEALTH There was some highly intriguing news out of Better Homes this summer – in August the company registered more lease transactions than in any other month in its history. This followed a strong run from May to July too, reflecting a flow of new residents from abroad, as well as a fair amount of movement from people taking advantage of lower prices to upgrade to a better place.
HOT SPOTS The latest news from the field in terms of popularity of individual districts shows that JBR, Dubai Marina, Bur Dubai and The Springs are the most sought-after areas for renters, while the Green Community, Dubai Marina, The Springs and Jumeirah Village are the most popular in terms of sales: flip over for an insight into why Jumeirah Village is starting to take off so well…

JUMEIRAH VILLAGE
So where is this Jumeirah Village? Is it in Jumeirah? Nope, it’s round the back of the Springs 10, just on the intersection of Emirates and Al Khail road. And why the ‘Village’ tag? Because though it’s enormous – over 800 hectares – it’s set to be filled with community centres, schools and facilities to give it a villagey feel. What sort of buildings does it have? A mixture of residential and commercial, alongside restaurants and stores. Is it ready to move into now? Not all of it, but over 500 units have been handed over already and another 200 are being handed over each month. What sort of properties can I get hold of? There are currently some lovely Jumeirah
Village Triangle Independent villas on offer, which are each sited on a huge 7,000 square foot plot, with maid’s quarters, four bathrooms and full permission from Nakheel to build an extra room and pool (and there’s bags of space for a big one) six months after handover. Are there any other major USPs I should know about? Yes, the villas come equipped with beautiful roof terraces, perfect for lolling on in the winter months. And the whole development is designed in an attractive mix of Western and Arabian styles.
amazed by some of the prices we have on offer – purchasing a villa here is much more affordable than in many comparable but more established communities. Sounds interesting – how can I find out more? Give us a buzz on +971 600 52 2212 and we’ll be happy to arrange some viewings so you can see what’s on offer.
What sort of finance can I get on it? The development is financed by all banks, some giving up to 85%. And you’ll be

Q
Are rental prices stabilizing after the sharp decline in the first two quarters of 2009? Will they rise soon? KOSTA GIANNOPOULOS I do not expect to see increases in rental prices for the time being. Whilst the rate of decline in achievable rents has slowed substantially I suspect there will be continued downward pressure on rents particularly in areas such as JLT, Marina, TECOM and even Downtown for the foreseeable future due to the supply of affordable apartments entering the market and the reduced demand.

Q
Do you expect to see a presence of more brokers and fewer developers at Cityscape this year? Do you think new projects will be announced? And do you think we can expect an update on the alleged merger between the top Dubai developers? LIZ O’CONNER There is of course no question that this year’s Cityscape will have a very different feel to the past few years and it may be one of the most interesting in Dubai’s history, with many visitors looking to observe the current state of the real estate market in Dubai. We definitely expect to see fewer developers and more brokers attending and exhibiting at the event. I also believe that there will be a reduction of international developers as many companies have had to cut their costs significantly. In many ways it may mean that there is more reality to what is being offered in terms of product. We do not expect many new projects to be announced; we believe Cityscape 2009 will focus on existing projects being handed over at the end of the year and in 2010. Revisions of earlier planned projects may also be clarified. Cityscape would also be a prime time for an update on any merger between top developers; it would be interesting to know if this will impact progress on projects like Waterfront, Palm Deira and Dubailand.
I’m looking to invest in a property in Dubai - but what key steps do I need to take to protect my investment? JOHN HANAFIN There are two key elements to look at here: inheritance, and protection from creditors. Laws in the UAE are not the same as in the UK or EU, in particular with regard to inheritance. When a foreigner who owns UAE real estate passes away, the laws of the owner’s home country should apply. There have however been cases where Sharia law has been considered. Under Sharia law, upon death of a property owner, the property is generally passed on as per Sharia heirship laws. This may be done in a manner contrary to the wishes of the non-Muslim deceased. A property owned by an offshore company would not be subject to Sharia law in relation to the distribution of assets, as the shares can be bequeathed under ‘western’ laws, as per the country of incorporation of the company. This is of course because a company has perputual existance and does not die. Shares can be distributed in accordance with the usual rules concerning succession in the place of the deceased shareholder’s domicile or will. This is a very simple and cheap solution, that will, if nothing else, provide reassurance to a family. It is possible to transfer your property currently existing under your personal name, to a company, without any transfer fees. Concerning creditors, your offshore company shares will provide an immediate hurdle to any pusuing creditors. Necessary court orders from the relevant jurisdiction would be required for the first step. For advanced creditor protection, one should consider tranferring shares in the company to an asset protection trust. Not only does this provide enhanced protection, it also allows for suitable future estate planning, and the avoidance of probate altogether. This type of structure is particularly suitable for those involved in business with the potential risk of litigation. Choice of jurisdiction for both company and trust is paramount. In short, owning property through a company is not only cheap, but is a very effective structure for asset protection.

Kiss your assets goodbye?
– Company incorporation and management
Or take steps to protect them. Are you unsure of local inheritance laws? Whatever your nationality, purchasing assets in the UAE through an offshore company can offer significant benefits, such as:
– Trusts and trustees
A company can own any asset – be it property, shares, even a yacht.
– Succession planning
Property sales can be transacted simply through a transfer of shares in a company.
– Offshore banking
Domestic law code and inheritance provisions can be avoided. A company provides a good legal framework for joint investments. A company provides added privacy and confidentiality, and can have a local corporate bank account to accept rental returns. With 10 years of experience in Dubai, and 25 offices in various offshore jurisdictions, Sovereign has expert knowledge in all areas of legal asset protection.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE…
PALM JUMEIRAH
Julia Dempster is the M.D. of interior design company Interior Motives (interiormotivesdubai.org) and loves the Palm so much that she has bought and sold four properties there. She invited us inside her beautiful home, where she lives with her son Miro, and told us what’s so great about Frond life.
Why did you come to Dubai in the first place? I’ve been here for 13 years, and during this time I have worked on many prestigious projects both in the UAE and worldwide. Seven years ago I set up Interior Motives, almost by default, due to demand for my interior design services– it wasn’t something I planned but as it turned out, I was here at exactly the right time. So what are you working on at the moment? We have worked on projects in the Seychelles, Mauritius, Azerbaijan and more recently have been working on projects in Nigeria, Ghana and India. We’ve just completed two hotels on Yas Island (Rotana Hotel and Staybridge Suites) and the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi. We are one of the few companies based in Dubai that does more work outside the UAE than in it. And what initially drew you to buying a place on the Palm? I bought my first property on the Palm through Better Homes three and a half years ago, and then I ended up buying three additional properties. They are such a good investment – The Palm is a unique project, you can go anywhere in the world and mention it and everyone’s heard of it. Places like Emirates Hills are amazing but they just don’t have that same recognition. Where else can you get waterfront property in such close proximity to the city, shopping malls and the airport? So tell us – what’s it like on the 8th wonder of the world? I absolutely love living on The Palm, the quality of life is just superb, and that’s one of the reasons I came to Dubai. My son Miro is outside every single day on our private beach, making sandcastles, and we regularly go out in our kayak together. Do you find the area sociable? Don’t you feel a bit isolated? No, I don’t feel at all isolated living on The Palm. And unlike other major October 2009

developments there is never a problem with traffic in the mornings so it’s not like you feel trapped on the island. The Palm is really so close to everything and we are fortunate to have great facilities including restaurants and bars, and I throw dinner parties for family and friends regularly at my villa - it is a great place to entertain! Where do you like to go out for dinner on The Palm? The Palm has several good dining options including Veda Pavilion which is Asian inspired, Cabana which is South American/ Caribbean, Barca Club which is the signature restaurant and, and Bidi Bondi which is excellent for a casual meal - they do great fish and chips. We tend to go to Nobu at Atlantis quite a lot, as well as Ronda Locatelli. And what’s missing from The Palm, in your opinion? It would be ideal to have a large supermarket and a wider variety of shops. I used to live in Arabian Ranches and it had great facilities, playgrounds and a real sense of community, partly created by the community clubhouse. On the Palm we have the smaller shops such as Costa Coffee, Baskin Robbins, Champion Dry Cleaners, Marina Pharmacy and Tips & Toe, but we’re missing out on a really big supermarket.
How did you set about the interior design of your own villa? I had sold my property at Arabian Ranches to a family who purchased it with everything in it apart from my personal effects they ended up taking all the furniture. So when I moved in to my current villa on The Palm, having rented out my other properties, I arrived with just my son’s cot, and slept on a duvet on the floor in the master bedroom. I had to source furniture and household items that were locally available and in stock, which is completely the opposite to how we would normally undertake projects – I would create detailed furniture layouts and concept design boards - however on this project time was of the essence as I urgently needed things to sit and sleep on!
Opposite page: Julia Dempster at home. Top left: Julia relaxes at home with her son Miro. Top right – The Palm Jumeirah. Bottom right: Miro’s beautifullydecorated bedroom.
And which are your favourite brands when it comes to interior design? I love Andrew Martin, B+B Italia and Maxalto. I would also recommend Flamant Interiors for shabby chic.

DISTRICTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
To help you target your property search as effectively as possible, we’ve split the city into 15 distinct districts (see p12 for map showing exactly how we’ve divided it up). MEYDAN DISTRICT Meydan district includes Nad Al Sheba, best known for its racecourse and as the venue of the Dubai World Cup. It’s also home to Meydan City, which when completed will be a mixed use area with a long stretch of waterfront with berths and yachts. The Meydan District also encompasses Al Quoz industrial zone. PALM DEIRA DISTRICT This district is focused exclusively on The Palm Deira, the largest of the three Palm Islands, set to be finished by 2015, and equipped with over 40 separate ‘fronds’, all stocked with homes, malls and marinas. PALM JUMEIRAH DISTRICT The Palm Jumeirah, currently the world’s largest man-made island, is surrounded by a vast breakwater barrier, and kitted out with an artificial reef. Just nearby is The World, 300 island clusters in the shape of the world, and divided into four categories private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. WATERFRONT DISTRICT The Waterfront District features Dubai Waterfront and The Palm Jebel Ali. A conglomeration of canals and artificial October 2009
islands, Dubai Waterfront is shaped in an arc and will produce a shelter around the Palm. The Palm itself is set to be ringed by luxury homes on stilts alongside six high-tech marinas. JEBEL ALI DISTRICT The Downtown project is set to be one of the few truly pedestrian-centric areas of town, with its own low-emission public transport system, plus entertainment, residential and business zones. JUMEIRAH DISTRICT This coastal residential area is one of the more expensive and exclusive areas in Dubai and is filled with quiet roads of attractive old villas. This district includes areas such as Al Wasl, Badaa, Manara, Safa, Satwa, and Umm Suqeim. DUBAILAND DISTRICT This district is huge. Its principal claim to fame is that it’s home to Dubailand, 3 billion square feet of theme parks, shopping malls and hotels. It also includes City of Arabia, all 20 million square feet of it, which is set to be the main residential and retail centre at the heart of Dubailand. Then there’s Bawadi, a 100 billion dollar project hosting 31 theme-based hotels. And nearby is Falcon City of Wonders, a falcon-shaped city containing life-size replicas
of the Seven Wonders of the World, housing chic apartments and villas. Also here is Dubai Motor City, home to Dubai Autodrome. Then there are some top residential developments including the equestrian-themed desert community Arabian Ranches, the lush and tranquil Green Community and Jumeirah Golf Estates, built around four themed golf courses. Dubai Sports City, meanwhile, is set to be home to residential properties and cricket and tennis academies.
a ‘city’ for international trade which is expected to have more than 230 commercial and residential towers when completed. Also in the district is Dubai International Financial Centre , the world’s newest financial centre. Finally there is Downtown Burj Dubai, a prestigious neighbourhood built around Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest tower and featuring around 30,000 houses, nine hotels, parkland area, 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall and the Burj Lake.
LAGOONS DISTRICT This district comprises the seven artificiallycreated islands of the Lagoons and Dubai Festival City, a residential, business and entertainment development.
MARINA EMIRATES LIVING DISTRICT At the heart of this district is Dubai Marina, with over 200 towers. Then there’s the gated community of Emirates Hills, with its lush landscaping and world-class Montgomerie golf course.

AL REEF AWAITS
ABU DHABI
The eagerly anticipated Al Reef Villas development in Abu Dhabi is finally being handed over! Developed by Manazel Real Estate, Al Reef Villas consists of 1,700 villas and apartments spread across a lush greenery and fantastic amenities. Billed as “the first planned UAE community exclusively for the middle-income tier,” this project has been well-received by initial buyers. These villas have four distinct architectural styles, including Mediterranean, Desert, Contemporary, and Arabic. The location is enviable – only 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi Island and close to the international airport. Amenities here encompass retail, commercial, and community needs. Enjoy the upcoming town square with relaxing cafés and dining establishments, and an entire community amidst beautiful tree-lined streets and verdant landscaping. A range of homes are available here, so we recommend you come down and visit Abu Dhabi’s latest offering.
Are your thoughts turning towards the capital? Better Homes has expert agents in Abu Dhabi and is well placed to guide you through the very best properties the city has on offer.

A LOOK AT LEASING
COMMERCIAL Office Retail Industrial Investment
While commercial leasing rates have fallen everywhere in Dubai, some locations have been significantly harder hit than others. From peak levels, several communities have fallen in rental prices by 55-65%. Among these victims, International City has fallen over 50% (current prices are around AED 40 psf), Deira and Garhoud have fallen 55% (priced now at AED 80-90 psf) and Dubai Silicon Oasis has fallen 65% (now around AED 60 psf). Those areas which have been most resilient to the declines are Trade Centre, Jumeirah, and Mirdif, having fallen by only 15-20% from their peaks in 2008. Trade Centre is currently priced at AED 180210 psf, Jumeirah between AED 160-200 psf, and Mirdif between AED 180-210 psf.
Over 20 years of local market wisdom and industry prowess. The most expansive portfolio of commercial property for sale or lease in the UAE. More dedicated commercial consultants than any firm in the region. Office, Retail, Industrial, and Investment Real Estate. Solved.
FOR SALE
Trends in July and August are showing rates stabilizing, with very small declines in the range of 1-2% per month in many commercial leasing areas in Dubai.

MY FAVOURITE ROOM
JULIA DEMPSTER This comfy chair is from B+B Italia. This table is made from a piece of fossilised tree, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a one-off. 3 This dining table is by Caspaiou, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made of bone inlay. I have two leather sofas on one side and fabric arm chairs from Meridiani on the other. I quite like having an unconventional dining table, having sofas makes for something a little bit different.. 4 The light fitting above the dining table is from Ochre and is made of horse hair and horn. It was custom made, and took about three months to create. 5 This painting is by an artist from Holland, I buy quite a few of her pieces. 1

FOR THE LOVE OF POD Make your iPod the centrepiece of your room with one of these superb docking stations…
1. Philips Ambisound Soundbar HTS8150 Snappy titles clearly aren’t Philips’ forte. Sidestep the clunky name, however, and you’ll find a feature-packed beauty of a product which brings top quality surround sound for your TV and MP3 player. The dedicated iPod dock, subwoofer and intergrated DVD player are the icing on the electronic cake.
2. Bowers+Wilkins Zeppelin
3. Sony ICF-CD31P
This Hindenburg-shaped dock locks your pod up front and centre and aims to ‘fill a room with crisp, deep, lifelike stereo sound…. delivering musical detail that you won’t believe your iPod is capable of’. Does it live up to its promises? Indeed it does – although it’s not a cheap option, it’s worth every last fil.
An attractive little number for your bedroom, this gadget will wake you up each day to the strains of your favourite morning music, whether it’s the Lark Ascending or Wake Me Up Before You Go Go . It’s got minimal frills – it’ll charge your pod and can play radio too, but that’s about it – but it’s got Sony levels of reliability and it doesn’t cost the earth.

We love the design of this canny little speaker set: drop in your iPod and you can use the remote control to flick through your tunes. This silver-rimmed number was created for use alongside Apple computers – keep it permanently plugged in and you can upload from iTunes with ease. The only slight negative point is that you can’t alter the treble and bass levels – but it’s only a minor downside to an otherwise excellent product.
This sleek dock is kitted out with something known as ‘MictroTractrix Horn-Loaded Tweeters.’ Tweeters we can cope with but the rest is Greek to us. Still, whatever technoinnards this Klipsch gizmo is packing they seem to be working well – the sound is superb. And unlike earlier incarnations it can be used with iPhones as well as pods: another USP is the fact that it’s impervious to interference from mobile phones. A great choice.
The unusual, imaginative clear front on this iHome number makes it a perfect addition to a minimalist living room. You’ll love the 4-channel amplifier sound and the double woofers and tweeters, and you’re not limited to just listening to your Pod – there’s a jack at the back to let you hook it up to any number of music sources. And there’s an ‘out’ jack too, so you can play iPod videos through your TV. Brilliant. More listings at bhomes.com

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GARDEN DESIGN
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) are known across the world as the experts on creating stunning gardens and they take you through how to create your own idyll with step by step instructions, starting with layout and working through the ideal lighting, landscaping etc.
WATER FEATURES FOR SMALL GARDENS Francesca Greenoak’s intelligent tome is a godsend for anyone trying to add life to a smaller outdoor area with a sparky water feature.
Terraverde
Laidback
Rattan House
ACHIEVE THIS LOOK
Tile-topped stone walls can provide a lovely element to break up the green of your garden, as in this attractive creation by Terraverde (terraverde.ae). Even really low-rise stretches around the borders of flower beds can make a huge difference, and provide a great place to put talking point products. Using roughtextured stones can help to acheive a beautiful, modern look.
Give your garden some talking points with a beautiful outsized pot - we’re big fan of this terracotta and blue number from Terraverde. Another good place for picking up some good value pots is the roadside pot souk in Hatta, on the way to the Oman border: their flutenecked amphorae make for a lovely feature.
MADE IN THE SHADE Few things are finer than eating al fresco during the glorious UAE wintertime - pick yourself up some good value garden furniture like this set from Home Centre (right) and you’re all set. One good-value way to enhance the experience is to get a special frame installed which can be draped with billowing fabric and turned into an elegant shade for your chilled out family dinners. The staightforward structure from Terraverde, left, is ideal - a sturdy stone floor with a varnished wood frame.
Home Centre
ACHIEVE THIS LOOK While it involves some extra time, dedication and expense, a water feature makes a fantastic focal point for your outdoor area. Not only that, but also installing a water feature – a steam, pool, fountain or simple cascade - can add signifiant value to your home, up to 10 percent in some cases. It makes sense to get advice on the size of installation – it needs to match the scale of the outdoor area. One extra hidden benefit of a water feature in the UAE is that it will attract birds to your home, a lovely hidden bonus.

Q
How do I set about picking perfect garden furniture?
HEAD OF THE ‘QUEUES
Make sure to pick up a first class barbecue for your garden - pick from this fine selection from Ace Hardware...
1. Simple
When choosing the best garden sets, you must first consider a durable, comfortable arrangement for your deck or garden that lets you accommodate friends or relatives. You should make sure you enhance your garden style, and the mood you want your landscape to have. The top choices for garden furniture material are synthetic rattan, wood, and cast aluminum. However, plastic furniture is much lighter than everything else, it’s easy to maintain, can have the look of wood and it comes in various colors, because let’s face it – you want to enjoy your new outdoor furniture, not spend all of your time taking care of it. As a final suggestion, when picking garden furniture, choose fabrics that are mildew and sun resistant. This ensures they can maintain their beauty and vibrant colours for many seasons. These fabrics are typically made of acrylic and are easily cleaned using a mild soap and water solution. Some of the ‘must have’ items this season include rattan swings, hammocks and cozy lounging sets to relax after a hard day’s work.. all of course available at Rattan House Furniture on Sheikh Zayed Rd.

Send us your questions to experts@hotmediapublishing.com and we’ll find an interiors guru to answer them... the bed – are you looking for contemporary, classic or romantic? Keep in mind too the amount of time you spend in bed – comfort should be at the top of your list. The mattress is key; it’s vital that you get the right amount of support. If it’s too firm, it can be uncomfortable and prevent sleep – but too soft and you could wake with back ache. Also, the right pillows will encourage correct body alignment and help you sleep more comfortably. There is nothing more inviting at the end of a long day than to slip between luxurious sheets. Look for a thread count of over 300 and feel the sheets before purchasing them. A cotton sateen will give you a soft, silky feel. Meanwhile, linen is renowned for feeling wonderfully crisp and cool to touch with great ‘breathability’. The colour and design of your bed linen is important when thinking about the scheme you have chosen for the room. Choose simple white bed linen with a classic design and add drama and character with a colourful throw, a silk or velvet bedspread.

Q
I’m determined to create a really unusual look for my living room - can you suggest some out of the ordinary styles?
You should look at an eclectic mix of elements in your space. A modern rectangular dining table with sleek armless chairs will look stunning with two unusual armchairs at the ends of the table. A heavy chandelier hung low will add finishing touches to the look. Similarly, a living room may have modern sofas teamed with transitional tables and the space may also house an ornate console that totally breaks the monotony of a single total look.

Q
How do I create the perfect study with limited space? Consider the tasks that will need to be performed in your study and the needs of your body. The workspace, surfaces, seating, storage and lighting need to be carefully selected and coordinated to create a pleasant, comfortable and efficient working environment. If your workspace is situated within another room it’s important to make efficient use of space and to separate the work from other activities going on in that room. A book shelf without back panels can create a separate work area while providing storage. You can utilise the space under a loft bed as a workstation, and a bureau is practical for hiding the workstation when it is not being used. Corner desks take advantage of the depth and can be a compact solution.

Q
I need some inspiration for creating a warm and welcoming family room – where do I start? This space should reflect your personality and lifestyle and be functional. There are no trends or rules that need to be followed, the point is to create a space that’s comfortable for you and your family, as this room is the key ‘meeting point’ of the whole house. Add accessories that reflect your style, whether it’s a colourful painting or a series of nicely framed family photographs. Curtains are very important. There is a huge choice of fabrics and styles available on the market - my advice is to keep it simple. You don’t need heavy blackout curtains in your living room - if you have a good view, don’t cover it, allow it to be a part of your room, and allow light in the room. One more very important thing is the fabrics and carpets you use in your living room. As a place where you and your family will sit together, it has to be damage-resistant. White sofas are a great neutral choice although it’s probably best to avoid them if you have small kids or pets. Always ask salespeople in furniture showrooms to give you advice on how to treat the fabrics and carpets, before you purchase them. Play with the fabrics and colours, and don’t be afraid to experiment. There is no rule saying you can’t put together different patterns. The room will achieve its warmth only when you feel comfortable in it. My last piece of advice is to keep it simple and don’t try to put in too many items at once. Leave some empty spaces for decorative elements that you might find later, maybe during holidays. Catalogue rooms look beautiful on the pages but they’re hard to live in. Make sure that your room makes your life easy and pleasant – and most of all, have fun doing it.
