Described as the world’s first purpose built maritime centre, Dubai Maritime City is a state of the art development zone, designed to act as a regional hub for the maritime business in Dubai. A genuinely mixed use development, Dubai Maritime City will also offer a range of luxury residential and commercial opportunities ensuring that the area becomes a focal point for the near 5,000 regional maritime companies working in Dubai. As well as the residential, industrial and commercial areas, the development will also include a large maritime research academy, designed to offer the companies in the regional access to the very latest developments and technology within the marine industry.

The development itself will be strategically located between the Dubai Dry Docks and the Port Rashid development. Covering over two square kilometres, Dubai Maritime City will offer its residents spectacular views over the clear blue waters of the Arabian Gulf. Connected to the mainland by a causeway, it only seems fitting that the worlds leading marine development will be built on land which has been reclaimed from the waters of the Gulf. A genuine superstructure in engineering terms, it is estimated that the project will consist of over 30 million cubic metres of dredged sand and over 2.5 million cubic metres of rock on its completion.

As with many of the free zone development areas in Dubai, Maritime City is designed to create a regional hub of sector specific companies. Within the development, there will be a focus on six major sectors within the maritime industry: marine services, marine management, product marketing, marine research and education, recreation and ship design and manufacturing. The only facility of its kind in the world, DMC seems set to become a global ‘centre of excellence’ for the maritime industry.

As well as the focus on the marine industry, there will be a wide range of residential property in Dubai Maritime City. Already developers have started to announce major projects such as the Iris Mist and the recently launched Admiral Bay within the Harbour Residences area of the development. True flagship residential projects, the property in Maritime City is made up of predominantly high-end luxury apartments which offer stunning views over the Arabian Gulf.

With innovative and unique projects such as the Dubai Maritime City Campus and the Maritime Centre already launched, it is highly likely that more exciting projects will be announced in the development over the coming months. With demand for commercial and residential property in Dubai reaching an all time high, it is likely that the property in Dubai Maritime City will be in high demand.

While a considerable number of Kerala residents dwell in foreign countries, real estate in Kochi has always been the subject of NRI interest. Of late, the surge created by influx of IT/ ITeS based companies in the property markets has also resulted in soaring property prices in Kochi.

A large number of employees are settling in the city and the demand has visibly impacted the capital prices and rental values of properties here. Nevertheless, the NRIs have no pangs over the same and property investment in Kochi is still their one of the favorite options, sources informed.

Demand pattern

According to the property dealers in Kochi, most of the NRIs look for sea-facing residential properties in the city. Perhaps, that’s why localities around Marine Drive and MG Road are the most premium residential locations in the city.

However, the vacancy rates in these areas are at rock bottom and hardly any properties are available for the sale. Also, the markets experts feel that the prices are too high now and do not offer room for further growth from investment point of view.

Consequently, NRI investors have been reportedly taking interest in sub-urban locations like Kakkanad, Edappally, Kalamssery, Ankamali and Thripunithura.

Extensive construction activities are underway in these areas, and real estate majors like DLF, Puravankara, Sobha, Prestige, and Brigade Group have lined up their ambitious projects across these areas.

Given the demand for higher-end residential properties, international players too are eyeing the Kochi Property markets. Recently, Dubai-based Emaar Group has also launched its project in the city.

Of Property Values in Kochi

Given the boom in Indian real estate in the past couple of years, prices of apartments at Marine Drive shot up by almost 300 per cent from Rs 1,500-Rs 2,400 psft to Rs 5,000-Rs 7,000 psft, in the period between 2005 and 2007.

The capital values for apartments at the aforementioned suburban locations are in the range between Rs 1,500 and Rs 4,000 per sq. ft. (Source-MagicBricks.com).
