Join us for a curated presentation of some of the world’s finest residential developments and properties, including special features from the UAE. The event will take place at The Jumeirah Carlton Tower, London, on 30 and 31 July 2025.

This is a unique opportunity to experience the strength of Savills’ global network in one of the world’s most dynamic property markets, while connecting directly with our international team of experts.

Savills’ 2025 Summer Showcase highlights how UAE investors can take advantage of favourable currency dynamics and strong market fundamentals to unlock exceptional value in the UK property market. Set against a backdrop of record activity across Dubai’s residential and commercial sectors, the Showcase presents a curated portfolio of Local and Global opportunities, including 100 Kensington, The Broadway and more, positioned as standout investment prospects in today’s environment.

UAE Market Resilience Strengthens Global Confidence

Dubai’s property market continues to demonstrate remarkable strength and appetite. According to Savills’ latest research:

• Residential performance remains robust, with Q1 2025 delivering a 23% year-on-year increase in transaction volumes.
• Over 30,000 new units were launched in Q1 alone, setting a record pace that reflects continued demand
• Villas and townhouses now account for 24% of residential deals, up from 18% a year ago
• Off-plan sales represent nearly 70% of all transactions, highlighting sustained buyer confidence in upcoming supply
• Prime properties priced at AED 10 million and above saw a 31% year-on-year rise in transactions, concentrated in areas such as Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Bay Island, and Emirates Hills.

Commercial activity is equally strong. Demand for Grade A office space remains high, with record absorption levels driven by the arrival of multinational firms establishing regional hubs. Free zone benefits, steady population growth, and pro-investor tax and visa reforms continue to support momentum across both residential and commercial sectors.

Why UK Prime Still Matters and Why Now

Savills research shows that despite recent softening at the top of London’s market, shifting currency dynamics and strengthening regional markets create a window of opportunity for Middle East investors to re-enter and diversify.

Yields in regional UK cities have firmed as occupier demand continues to rise, supported by ongoing regeneration and infrastructure investment. These trends are broadening the appeal of markets beyond London and strengthening their investment potential.

In Central London, these projects also present renewed rental growth potential and continued liquidity, making them highly attractive.
