“We see that the market is on upward trajectory, with strong signs of the rental market. These factors enforce the market recovery at a time when supply is steady. Demand is still strong also," Binghatti added.
He mentioned that his company has announced starting sales of an exclusive group of residential units in its new project Binghatti Gate (The Gate) which is at the entrance of the Jumeirah Village Circle in Dubai, with an investment of about Dhs150m.
Binghatti pointed out that the company's current pricing policy is approximately at the secondary market prices levels, as there is no significant difference between the prices of our new projects and the secondary market when selling.
