– Size Trends
As has generally been the case across Dubai’s property market, JLT has seen a decline in average unit sizes across the last eighteen years. Buildings constructed pre-2010 have consistently larger apartment sizes than their recently completed counterparts, or indeed compared to recent launches that are scheduled for handover in the next three years. As we have previously mentioned in our analysis on this very phenomenon, this reflects a market-wide shift in buyer preferences, as size becomes a necessary sacrifice on the part of buyers who, given the tradeoff, seem to prefer affordability for newer units.
