The Shift in Buyer Mindset

Modern homeowners value:

  • Social and shared spaces
  • Walkable amenities and convenience
  • A sense of belonging within a neighborhood
  • Long-term livability rather than short-term aesthetics

This shift has influenced how developers design and position residential projects across Dubai.
