Dubai, UAE | January 15, 2026: The UAE’s property market continues to emerge as a powerful wealth-creation engine for global investors who approach real estate as a strategic asset class rather than a standalone purchase, according to GPG Global Real Estate, led by its Founder and CEO Mr. Chirag Goyal, widely known in the industry as the Multiplier of Real Estate.
Industry data and recent market trends indicate that investors who entered the UAE real estate market with informed advisory support over the past few years have significantly multiplied their wealth. Following a property boom that began in late 2021, residential prices surged by 20 to 40 percent, turning many early buyers into high-net-worth individuals as property valuations crossed the million-dollar threshold.Demand for ultra-prime properties has also accelerated sharply, with sales of homes priced above US$10 million reaching record levels, positioning Dubai among the world’s leading luxury real estate markets. Investors are increasingly shifting from short-term, opportunistic buying to strategic, long-term investments, driven by lifestyle considerations, legacy planning, and capital preservation. Prime areas such as Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and Business Bay continue to attract sustained interest.“With global financial markets facing volatility, UAE real estate remains one of the most reliable avenues for wealth multiplication,” industry experts note. As a tangible asset class, completed properties in the UAE typically deliver 7 to 10 percent annual rental yields, among the highest globally. A Dh1 million property can generate Dh60,000 to Dh70,000 annually in rental income, while strategically structured investments can potentially deliver 30 to 50 percent annual capital returns, offering accelerated wealth creation.Speaking on the investment philosophy behind such performance, Mr. Chirag Goyal said,
“People often ask how investors consistently achieve exceptional returns. The answer is never luck. Wealth multiplication is the result of disciplined research, scarcity-driven selection, structured buying, and responsible exits. The market may call me the Multiplier of Real Estate, but that title comes with responsibility, not pride.”Dubai’s real estate sector closed 2025 with record-breaking transactions valued at Dh682.5 billion, marking five consecutive years of growth. According to Goyal, this performance reflects informed investor behaviour rather than speculation. “This growth is driven by understanding timing, supply dynamics, and long-term value. Our role is to guide investors with precision,” he said.He highlighted scarcity-based investing as a core principle, focusing on micro-markets with limited future supply. One such example is a commercial investment in Dubai Maritime City, where GPG Global Real Estate acquired an entire ground-floor retail strip at Dh4,000 per square foot, approximately 20 percent below market value. Comparable assets are now trading at Dh5,000 per square foot, with further upside expected upon completion.Another case cited was Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, where the firm invested in full sea-view townhouses — an asset class representing only three percent of total inventory on the island. Acquired at around Dh6 million, valuations are projected to reach Dh12–15 million by 2028, driven by supply constraints and destination-led growth.Structured deals also play a crucial role in wealth multiplication. “Direct negotiation with developers, bulk acquisitions, and customised payment plans significantly reduce risk,” Goyal explained. He pointed to a recently secured 20–80 payment plan, where investors pay 20 percent upfront and 80 percent at handover after three years, allowing capital appreciation and rental income to cover future obligations.Several investor case studies underscore this approach. One investor seeking a modest 20 percent annual return achieved three consecutive exits within 18 months, each delivering approximately 30 percent gains, nearly doubling the original capital. Other investors, including industry professionals, have also entrusted GPG Global Real Estate with their personal portfolios.As Dubai enters 2026, experts caution that oversupply in select off-plan segments and tightening liquidity may challenge uninformed buyers. However, disciplined investors focusing on Grade-A developers, near-handover assets, and smaller, liquid units are expected to continue benefiting from market opportunities.Concluding, Goyal advised new investors to remain patient and informed.“Avoid fear-driven decisions, oversized assets, and developers without proven delivery records. Wealth multiplication happens when you buy right, not when you buy fast — and when you are guided by the right advisor.”
