Investing in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT)
JLT (Jumeirah Lake Towers) is Dubai Marina's affordable neighbour: towers around landscaped lakes, an excellent yield/price ratio and strong rental demand thanks to the metro and offices.
Investing in JLT is the rational cash-flow choice: across from the Marina, a markedly cheaper square metre for a 7-8.5% gross yield, two metro stations and the DMCC free zone (20,000+ companies) supplying a continuous stream of professional tenants. Often gentler service charges protect the net yield.
