Don't Watch This Unless You're Serious About Real Estate! Breaking Down a 952M AED Commercial Deal!

Описание: In this episode, we do a full deep dive into an institutional grade built to rent commercial office asset in Dubai, breaking down the feasibility study, fund term sheet, and what makes Class A office space one of the most underserved and high demand segments in the UAE real estate market. We cover key real estate roles including developer, asset manager, property manager, and facility manager, and explain why each one matters for tenant retention and long term asset value. We also analyze the fund's structure, including its Cayman Islands jurisdiction, zero subscription fees, and a scaled promote with a 10% preferred return hurdle, sharing what we like and what questions we'd ask as investors. Plus, we get into the equity vs debt debate, why we at Sakeenah Developments are building institutional grade real estate without leverage, the importance of IRR as a financial metric, and how our multi jurisdictional fund structure (ESCA, DIFC, Delaware, Luxembourg) is designed to serve global investors. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned real estate investor, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
