Dubai: The top choice for Indian investors seeking lucrative real estate returns
By- Mr. Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman, Danube Group
Dubai has emerged as an alluring destination for the Indian real estate investors due to its strategic location, competitive property prices and above all the favourable government policies. The city offers an unmatched global lifestyle with its modern infrastructure, world-class healthcare, education, and entertainment options.
For Indian investors looking to relocate, Dubai presents a vibrant and cosmopolitan environment that appeals to families and professionals alike. The city’s commitment to innovation, technology, progress and development ensures a high quality of life for residents. In the post-pandemic era, the demand for real estate in Dubai has surged manifolds. It has led to an upward trajectory in property prices and tremendous capital appreciation for investors.
The absence of property tax in Dubai further enhances the appeal of real estate investment for property buyers. The government’s policy granting a 5-year renewable Dubai permanent Golden Visa to individuals owning a property or group of properties in the UAE has made real estate in Dubai an attractive proposition.
Additionally, Danube Properties ensures a 3-4 year handover period for all its new developments, which makes a difference in the real estate market by offering timely and rewarding opportunities for investors. Moreover, its developments offer over 40 amenities that ensure an unparalleled living experience for connoisseurs of luxury and excellence. In all our projects, we provide fully furnished apartments featuring luxury-branded furniture. When comparing per square foot prices, our properties are more affordable than those in Delhi and Mumbai, offering exceptional value for high-quality living.This encouraging scenario makes Dubai an attractive option for Indian investors.
The geographical proximity to India plays a significant role in attracting Indian investors to Dubai. With frequent flights and a short travel time, Dubai is conveniently accessible, making it easier for investors to manage their properties and visit their investments regularly. This connectivity also supports the strong business and cultural ties between the UAE and India.
Meanwhile, it’s an exceptional time to invest in Dubai, especially given the recent government reforms and progressive measures.
The reduction in company registration fees by the Dubai and Abu Dhabi authorities have made it more cost-effective for new investors. The immigration policy changes, which offer long-term visas and passports to major investors, scientists, academics, and skilled professionals, have significantly enhanced investor confidence and appeal.
As a result of all these positive developments, property investments in Dubai are delivering exceptional rental returns, significantly outpacing those seen in India, and surpassing the value of other investment classes. This encouraging scenario is attracting Indian investors with NRIs deriving exceptional benefits. For the Indian expats, Dubai stands out as a premier investment destination that also guarantees high quality of life. Considering all these factors, Dubai has a unique combination of factors that make it an ideal destination for Indian Investors.
3 businesses helping Indians get US Green Cards through real estate investments
27th August 2024: Every year, about 10,000 EB-5 visas are granted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services — A much sought-after route to obtaining permanent residency in the United States. Created to promote economic growth and job creation in the US, the EB-5 visa program provides a unique opportunity for foreign investors to obtain a green card by investing in new commercial enterprises or regional centers that generate employment opportunities. However, the lack of awareness of the US real estate market, and the distance between the two countries often make Indian investors apprehensive about making investments. Adding to the challenges is the fact that the process of obtaining a visa is a long-winded, complicated process, which further impedes investors from going this route. However, several businesses have taken the initiative to bridge this gap and make it possible for investors in India to obtain the EB-5 visa without much hassle.
Ashton Gray Investments
Ashton Gray Investments was born in 2011, from its Founder and CEO, Sumi Rengaraj’s personal quest for lucrative investments. Sumi was inspired to educate and empower more Indians to diversify their portfolio by investing in foreign real estate markets. Ashton Gray Investments’ EB5 Visa program represents a strategic gateway for Indian investors seeking to capitalize on residential real estate opportunities in the US, while securing a path to permanent residency.

The company has been successful in bringing to life projects with promising returns and job creation potential, meeting the EB5 program’s stringent requirements. With the company’s help, investors benefit from direct involvement in projects ranging from luxury developments to affordable housing initiatives, diversifying their portfolios while securing their permanent residence.
Peachtree Group
The Peachtree Group manages billions in capital across acquisitions, development, and lending, helping foreign investors secure permanent residency in the US through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa program. From major cities like California to rural areas in the US, Peachtree Group is currently helping prospective green card holders invest in residential and commercial real estate projects.

United Way Bengaluru Joins Hands with Karnataka Government to Transform Government Schools Under the SAMATVA Initiative
Bengaluru, August 26, 2024: United Way Bengaluru (UWBe) as a part of the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSE&L), the Government of Karnataka’s Samatva initiative signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the department. This partnership aims to enhance the education landscape in peri-urban and rural areas across the state, with a particular focus on strengthening government schools.
Under the initiative called Samatva, the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSE&L), the Government of Karnataka, envisions strengthening and transforming government schools into model institutions. These Karnataka Model Schools have been conceptualized to provide quality education to students from Lower KG (LKG) to Pre-University College (PUC) levels, all within a single campus. With upgraded infrastructure, facilities, and learning initiatives, the goal is to improve the learning and well-being of students. To achieve this, the DoSE&L has invited NGO and CSR partners for strategic collaboration.
Rajesh Krishnan, CEO of United Way Bengaluru, stated, “The partnership with the government represents a path-breaking initiative aimed at transforming the educational landscape for students from kindergarten to pre-university college. Together, with our CSR partners and government stakeholders, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing learning environment, ensuring access to quality education and essential resources, particularly for the growth and development of children from marginalized communities.”
Since 2008, UWBe has been actively working with government and government-aided schools. With the support of CSR partners, it recently strengthened the Karnataka Public School in Nandagudi, Hoskote, Bengaluru. This school serves approximately 1,200 children, primarily from families of migrant and wage labourers. Key enhancements under this initiative included the construction of new classrooms and renovation of existing infrastructure, upgrading of toilet facilities, setting up STEM labs and science laboratories, and the installation of solar panels to promote sustainability and energy efficiency. Additionally, teachers have received training in STEM education, enabling them to integrate innovative teaching methods into their classrooms.
The modern laboratories have attracted more students to enrol in science disciplines, significantly benefiting 250 PUC students at KPS Nandagudi. Previously, these students faced challenges due to inadequate lab facilities, often having to travel over 20 kilometres to take practical exams at another centre.
United Way Bengaluru will continue to expand its efforts under the Samatva initiative. This will include setting up STEM, digital classrooms, and English Labs in more than 100 schools and strengthening school infrastructure, including integrating WASH elements based on identified needs. UWBe will also focus on teachers’ skills development and training them on reproductive health and gender sensitivity.
UWBe is an NGO focused on social issues that seek immediate and long-term attention. United Way Bengaluru marked a significant milestone this year as it completed its 15-year journey. As a part of the global network, United Way Worldwide, the largest network of non-profit organizations with 1,100 chapters in 37 countries, United Way Bengaluru carries a global image with a ‘local heart’ committed to creating meaningful change in the lives of the local communities.

GCCs Propel India’s Office Space Demand: Global Firms Lease 53mn sq ft
The recent joint report of CBRE and Zyoin highlighted how GCCs have significantly amplified their Indian operations over the recent decades, fueled by a skilled workforce, cost efficiency, and a conducive business climate. These growth factors have resulted in leading global companies to lease nearly 53 million square feet of office space since 2022 across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai to set up GCCs.
CBRE’s 2024 India Office Occupier survey also revealed that approximately 67% of GCCs intend to increase their office portfolios by at least 10% within the next two years. Thus, this upsurge in demand for office spaces from GCCs underscores a continued growth trajectory for the commercial real estate sector, encouraging developers to plan and curate more office spaces to meet future demands.
Mr. Nisheeth Thukral, Head of Leasing, Ambience Group said, “Global companies leasing office space in India to set up Global Capability Centres (GCCs) will turn out to be the prime drivers for the country’s commercial real estate. Even though Bangalore is at the top, NCR has also witnessed increased traction. There is a widespread demand, particularly for Grade A office spaces. As a key player in this thriving market, Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) offers immense potential, with companies like Ambience Group planning luxury mixed-use commercial developments near the Noida Expressway to capitalise on these opportunities.”
Mr. Sanchit Bhutani, Managing Director, Group 108, said, “The report showcases a positive viewpoint for Delhi-NCR’s commercial space market in India. Notably, the area around the Noida Expressway indicates a higher potential, fueled by the demand for office spaces and retail outlets. Further, significant infrastructure developments like the Noida International Airport have strengthened commercial realty growth. As global businesses expand their presence in the region, the trend encourages developers to create more specialized and premium office spaces, catering to the unique needs of various industries and enhancing the overall vibrancy of India’s commercial real estate landscape.”
Moreover, the availability and cost of quality real estate emerge as one of the prime growth factors for GCCs in India. The report also indicated that the leasing for GCCs accounted for 37% of the total leasing during H1 of 2024.
Harinder Singh Hora, Founder Chairman, Reach Group, said, “The report indicates an optimistic outlook for the Delhi-NCR office space market, particularly for Gurugram. As the region is introduced to noteworthy infrastructure growth, it forecasts an upsurge in rental values and leasing activity by GCCs, leading to growth in Grade A retail and office spaces. This momentum reaffirms our vision to deliver cutting-edge commercial spaces and reshape the real estate landscape.”
Salil Kumar, Director- Marketing and Business Management, CRC Group, said, “The surge in leasing by GCCs signals a strong demand for Grade A Office spaces. This heightened demand will not only drive the rental prices in prime locations in Delhi-NCR but also catalyze new developments, further strengthening the commercial real estate sector. As global companies secure large office spaces for their GCCs in India, we look forward to sustained demand for commercial spaces, encouraging developers to develop and deliver future-ready office spaces.”
Thus, as the market continues to evolve, the commercial spaces in India are set to experience sustained growth, reinforcing the country’s status as a strategic destination for global companies. This dynamic environment encourages developers to create specialized and premium office spaces, enhancing the vibrancy and competitiveness of India’s commercial real estate market.

The Sohna-Dausa stretch, in particular, has been hailed as a game-changer for South of Gurugram’s realty ecosystem, significantly enhancing interstate connectivity with states like Delhi-NCR, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. The prospects of this stretch emerging as a prime residential and commercial corridor are high, simultaneously boosting real estate developments in the surrounding areas of Gurugram.

Tribeca Developers Achieves Total Sell-Out: “The Edge” Becomes South Mumbai’s Fastest-Selling Project
Mumbai, 22 August 2024: Tribeca Developers, India’s largest luxury branded residential developer and the largest global developer of Trump-branded projects, has set a new benchmark with the launch of their latest luxury residential offering, ‘The Edge.’ In just 30 days the project, which is a collaboration between Tribeca Developers and Tejukaya, has achieved sales exceeding INR. 1,000 crores, establishing it as South Mumbai’s fastest-selling residential development in recent years.
Situated on a prime 2.5-acre site in Parel, Tower 1 of ‘The Edge’ features 228 meticulously designed residences. The development includes a range of 2, 3, 4 & 5 Bed homes, with prices from INR. 4 cr to INR. 12 cr.
The project is one of the largest projects in South Mumbai and is being developed under the Maharashtra government’s ambitious Cluster Redevelopment Policy.
In January 2024, Tribeca Developers announced a collaboration with the 135-year-old Tejukaya Group on this project, with INR. 200 cr. financing line secured from HDFC Capital. Subsequently, Piramal Capital provided an additional INR. 120 cr. of credit line. With less than 50% of these financing lines drawn till date, Tribeca doesn’t expect to draw the balance lines.
Mr. Kalpesh Mehta, founder of Tribeca said “Tribeca focuses on building only landmark trophy properties, and our projects have always been extremely well received across India. With The Edge we pushed the boundaries of luxury well, till the edge, and we are grateful to our customers for rewarding us so robustly on our maiden entry into Mumbai. This is the biggest launch that Tribeca has had in its 12-year journey. The market for luxury residences in India remains strong and buyers across the country are willing to pay huge premiums over competition to acquire homes in trophy projects that are one of a kind, and that is the demand we cater to.”
He added, “Our asset light approach relies heavily on having extremely strong partners who have strong land expertise, such as Mr. Pranav Tejookaya. This land had been in his family for over 100 years and had 730 families housed in chawls built by his great grandfather. Pranav bhai’s ability to vacate and get approvals on once in a lifetime site, is a big reason for our success.”
Pranav P. Tejookaya, CEO & Managing Director of Tejukaya Group, said “Collaborating with Tribeca on ‘The Edge’ reflects our shared vision for redefining luxury in Mumbai. This location has a deep personal significance for us, and seeing it transformed into an iconic residential address is a proud achievement. With Tribeca’s expertise and our deep-rooted local insight, ‘The Edge’ will set a new standard for luxury living in Mumbai.”
‘The Edge’ boasts an iconic façade with two shimmering glass towers rising 600 feet into the sky and will be among the tallest towers in the micro-market. Design is at the core of the residences with every room featuring Tribeca’s signature openable façade, with full length sliding windows and glass railings on the outside.
Tribeca is known for developing the largest rooftop in the world in Pune. The rooftop at The Edge will be the most iconic in Mumbai and will be packed with amenities such as the glass-bottom sky-bridge. The project has one of the largest amenities programs in the entire micro-market with amenities spread across 4 levels.
