ABU DHABI MARKET OVERVIEW
SUPPLY RENTAL RATES SALES PRICESQ2 2019 saw the delivery of approximately 500 residential units spread throughout Abu Dhabi. Whilst handover volumes over the last three months were limited, additional supply for H2 2019 is estimated to reach close to 5,000 properties (4,500 apartments & 450 villas), assuming current construction programmes are adhered to. These will predominantly be located within the Investment Zones, including, but not limited to, Al Raha Beach, Al Reem Island, Saadiyat Island and Yas Island. The office market recorded the completion of two commercial projects, namely SADEM Building in Al Raha Beach and a new office complex in Rawdhat. Residential plot launches dominated the 2nd quarter of the year with land parcels offered for sale (on attractive payment plans) within the following developments: • Al Reeman Phase II by Aldar Properties, located in the Shamkha area, offers residential land plots for sale to UAE nationals only. • Lea by Aldar, located on Yas Island, comprises villa plots for sale to all nationalities. • Al Jurf by IMKAN, located in the Ghantoot area, sells villa plots as well as villas to all nationalities. • Al Jubail Island, located adjacent to Saadiyat Island and spanning over 400 hectares, will comprise a mix of serviced plots for residential, retail and office use, which are offered for sale to all nationalities. The above projects are within master planned communities and are expected for completion over the next two to four years.
Apartment and villa rental rates softened by 1% and 2%, respectively, over the quarter. Whilst average declines were marginal, several low- and mid-quality projects recorded drops of 5% to 8% over the same period. Annual changes were more pronounced with apartment and villa rental rates contracting by 13% and 5%, respectively. Lower quality properties, predominantly located in Abu Dhabi City, recorded the most notable reductions, largely due to the increased supply of new mid-quality buildings on Al Reem Island (as well as other areas) offered at competitive rates. Several mid-/ high-quality projects in Al Raha Beach and on Al Reem Island noted a rise in occupancy levels over the last three months, mainly as a result of incentives offered (multiple cheque payments and rent-free periods). Despite limited interest in commercial space, average office rental rates across all quality specifications remained more or less unchanged during Q2 2019. Whilst office rental rates for Grade B (shell & core) units eased by approximately 7% since Q2 2018, lower quality buildings recorded annual drops between 8% and 13%. Landlords continued to provide discounts and incentives on contract renewal in order to retain Tenants.
The Abu Dhabi government recently (April 2019) issued a law amending provisions of Law No. 19 of 2005 concerning the real estate sector in Abu Dhabi, henceforward allowing foreigners to own land and properties on freehold basis in designated Investment Zones (freehold ownership was previously limited to UAE and GCC nationals, whilst expatriates were restricted to 99-year leasehold rights). This action is in line with the government’s objective to increase transparency, boost investment and stimulate the economy. Uncertainties pertaining to the property title (as well as economic challenges) have previously discouraged Residents from becoming home Owners. Implementation is underway and is expected to increase real estate demand in the medium- to long-term. In the meantime, apartment and villa sales prices continued to soften by 1% and 2% from Q1 2019, whilst annual declines averaged 4% and 9%, respectively. Although sales transaction volumes for completed properties remained limited, demand for land plots (recently launched for sale in mid-market developments) was significant as Investors continued to focus on value-for-money products.

DUBAI MARKET OVERVIEW
SUPPLY RENTAL RATES SALES PRICESThe significant volume of new supply recorded in Q1 2019 continued into the second quarter with the handover of 5,250 apartments, 1,300 villas and nearly 500,000 sq.ft. of office space. Whilst the majority of this inventory is located in the new investment areas of Dubai Creek Harbour and Dubai Hills Estate (situated along Al Khail Road (E44)), established communities such as Dubai Marina also recorded additional stock in the form of Sparkle Towers, Orra Harbour Residences and The Residences at Marina Gate (Tower 2). The delivery of more than 750,000 sq.ft. of office space in Silicon Park (Dubai Silicon Oasis), which was earmarked for completion this quarter, was further delayed, thus providing some relief in Q2 2019. Despite prevailing oversupply concerns, Developers continued to launch new projects including One Park Avenue at Sobha Hartland (by Sobha Realty), Zada in Business Bay (by Damac) and Vincitore Benessere in Arjan (by Vincitore Realty). In addition, Omniyat recently (June 2019) announced the recommencement of Anwa, which is expected to be the first residential development in Dubai Maritime City (DMC). Completion is anticipated for Q2 2020. First announced in 2004, DMC - a manmade peninsula spread over 24 million sq.ft., was earmarked to become a purpose-built maritime centre with industrial, commercial, residential and leisure facilities to include six clusters: the Harbour Offices, Harbour Residences, Maritime Centre, Marina District, Dubai Maritime City Campus and the Industrial Precinct. A number of residential and commercial projects were launched leading up to the 2008 peak but came to a halt shortly thereafter due to the global financial crisis.
Continuing on from previous quarters, apartment and villa rental rates softened by 4% and 2% over Q2 2019, with annual declines settling around the 10% mark. Vacancy rates are on the rise, particularly in the older properties, as new supply continues to outperform population growth. In addition, as a result of the abundance of options available, Tenant movement picked up with Residents seeking value-for-money options in the form of more affordable/competitive rates, improved incentives, larger units and/or better quality specifications/facilities. Interestingly, whilst apartment and office rental rates still remain approximately 15% above the 2011/12 market low, villa rents have, for the first time, dropped below that point, albeit, only marginally (-1%). It should be noted, however, that this is predominantly due to the increase in affordable villa communities such as Damac’s Akoya and Nshama Town Square located along the E311 (Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road) and E611 (Emirates Road) corridors. Office rental rates came under further pressure and recorded quarterly and annual declines of 4% and 16% in line with subdued economic conditions. This downward trajectory is expected to continue for all asset classes in the second half of 2019.
Similar to last quarter, residential sales price contractions were more pronounced than those for rental rates with average quarterly and annual declines of 4% and 15% for apartments, and 5% and 14% for villas. Office sales prices recorded even more notable drops of 6% over the quarter and 18% compared to the same period last year. With the aim to attract a wider range of real estate Investors to the Emirate, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) recently announced the launch of the Real Estate Investment Opportunities (REIOs) initiative, under which several investment products will be offered including: • Collective real estate investment funds; • Partial title deeds procedures; • A lease-to-own system; and • Investment portfolio applications. Moreover, the UAE Cabinet approved a total of 122 economic activities across 13 sectors eligible for up to 100% foreign ownership such manufacturing, transport and storage, and construction. Each Emirate will determine the ownership percentage of foreign Investors in these activities. (Further details are provided by Al Tamimi & Co. on page 31.) Government initiatives are continuously being rolled out to stimulate the economy, increase investment and ultimately boost the real estate market but have yet to filter through to create notable employment/business growth. In addition, ongoing trade tensions between leading world economies are likely to dampen local market conditions and sentiment in the short-term, meaning sales prices are not expected to stabilise/rebound until these improve.

Dubai Real Estate Report -19 Q2 2019
Northern Emirates Real Estate Report -
NORTHERN EMIRATES MARKET OVERVIEW
Apartment rental rates in the Northern Emirates continued to soften with average quarterly and annual declines of 5% and 13%, respectively. Further downward pressure on rates is expected as the delivery of new supply and resulting drop in rental rates in Dubai impedes the recovery of rates in the Northern Emirates in the short-term. Asteco’s research indicated the most notable decreases for typical apartment units in Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) with drops of 9% and 7% during Q2 2019 due to the handover of new supply with better quality specifications/facilities at competitive rates within the Emirates and in neighbouring municipalities. Whilst Ajman Residents relocated to Sharjah and Dubai, Tenants in RAK opted for the local master plan communities of Mina Al Arab and Al Marjan Island. It is noteworthy to mention that there was a marked drop in typical apartment listings (for rent) in Fujairah, suggesting good occupancy rates in the Emirate. Sharjah office rental rates continued their downward trend with quarterly and annual declines of 3% and 9% on the back of low demand.
Similar to last quarter, average sales prices in Sharjah declined by 2% on average with more pronounced drops of up to 10% in stand-alone buildings in GCC freehold areas compared with properties in master planned communities offered on a leasehold basis to all nationalities. Following the 54,125 transactions worth AED 22.5 billion recorded in 2018, the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Directorate (SRERD) registered 27,588 transactions valued at AED 14.7 billion in H1 2019. The total included 1,893 sales transactions across the Emirate with the majority of the activity taking place in Muwaileh Commercial Area, followed by Al Khan and Al Nahda. At this rate, the Emirate is well on its way to surpass last year’s performance, particularly in regards to total value of transactions. The Northern Emirates saw the addition of a couple of retail developments with the opening of Oasis Mall in Sharjah (by Landmark Group) and Mall of UAQ in Umm Al Quwain (by Lulu). Furthermore, the new 89km Khorfakkan highway was inaugurated in April 2019. It links Emirates Road (E611) in Sharjah with Wadi Shi Square in Khorfakkan, thus providing ease of access to the growing tourist destination and reducing travel time between the two cities to 45 minutes. Similar to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the local governments of the Northern Emirates are introducing larger budgets and more diversification strategies to stimulate the economy and boost investment, which is expected to translate into employment/business growth and hence increased transaction activity in the Real Estate market in the medium- to long-term.

Northern Emirates Real Estate Report - 25 Q2 2019
Al Ain Real Estate Report -
AL AIN MARKET OVERVIEW
Apartment and villa rental rates continued to decline across all areas, although average quarterly and annual drops were marginal between 1% and 2%. In fact, as a result of robust demand for prime properties/compounds in established and new quality communities, rental rates in that category remained relatively stable during the first half of the year. With the exception of the Senaya Area, office rental rates in Al Ain were unchanged in Q2 2019; although it is important to note that this is not reflective of actual demand, which has been particularly limited for over a year now. Retail rental rates along Senaya Street softened by 3% in the 2nd quarter, with average annual drops of 7%. However, some Landlords reduced rents by more than 15%. Although mall rates recorded no change this quarter, they are expected to decrease over the next 6 to 12 months mainly due to reduced consumer spending as a result of continued bearish market conditions and sentiment. Residential and commercial Landlords alike continued to offer discounts and incentives such as rent-free periods and attractive payment terms in order to retain Tenants and attract new ones.

Oxford Economics -
We maintain our GDP growth forecast of 2.2% in 2019 reflecting continued acceleration in overall domestic economic activity, which will be buoyed by healthy projections for both the oil and non-oil sectors. Domestic demand will be supported by rising government spending, various government initiatives and higher investment ahead of Expo 2020. GDP growth is expected to remain broadly similar in 2020-22, averaging around 2.1%.
The statistics authority has released a more detailed breakdown of GDP growth in 2018, with the performance mixed across different sectors. The fastest-growing sectors were agriculture, accommodation and food services and real estate, which expanded by 7.1%, 4.1% and 3.6% respectively. On the other hand, utilities contracted by 2.3%, while construction grew by just 0.5%.
Oil production averaged around 3.05m b/d in April and May, broadly in line with the average in Q1 2019, reinforcing our projection of 2.5% growth for the oil sector. However, we have lowered our oil price forecast to US$65pb for 2019, from US$71pb previously, reflecting fears of a rising US-China trade war weighing on global demand conditions. As a result, we now expect a lower government fiscal surplus in 2019 of 0.6% of GDP, down from 1.9% last month.
Latest PMI numbers show that UAE's non-oil activity expanded at its fastest in more than four and a half years in May, reaching 59.4, with both the output and new orders sub-components rising markedly m/m. Despite this positive development, employment remained relatively unchanged.
GROWTH FORECAST FOR 2019 REMAINS AT 2.2%…The UAE’s GDP grew 1.7% in 2018, up from an eight-year low of 0.8% in 2017, supported by expansionary fiscal policy, higher oil output and an improving investment climate, particularly in Dubai ahead of Expo 2020, but the result was below expectations. Despite the UAE’s relatively diversified economy, the hydrocarbon sector still plays a key role, comprising around 30% of GDP. Oil sector growth is expected to remain relatively strong this year at 2.5%, slightly lower than last year’s 2.8%. Our 2019 GDP growth forecast remains at 2.2%, unchanged from last month, due to:
• Higher oil output• Oil prices marginally above break-even
…WITH THE NON-OIL SECTOR DRIVING ACTIVITYThe UAE’s relatively diversified economy and large fiscal buffers have provided a cushion against low oil prices since 2014. We see a pick-up in non-oil growth from 1.3% in 2018 to 2.1% this year, based on:
• Rising government spending• PMI in expansionary territory• Strong tourism and rising FDI in Dubai• Improved banking conditions• Stimulus plans in Abu Dhabi and Dubai• Residential property prices continue to drop
GROWTH TO PICK UP OVER THE MEDIUM TERMImproving economic sentiment and a gradual rise in oil output are two of the factors seen lifting GDP growth to 2.2% in 2019 and then around the same pace in 2020-22:
• Diversification strategy• Business conditions and Expo 2020 will support investment• Political stability

Al Tamimi & Co. -
UAE: FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT DEVELOPMENTSThe general rule in the UAE was that at least 51% of an entity’s share capital must be owned by a UAE national or a corporate entity, which is wholly owned by UAE national(s), or, 100% owned by GCC nationals. These investment restrictions are imposed by Federal Law No. 2/2015 concerning Commercial Companies, on all companies in the UAE.
However, in December 2018, the news of a new foreign direct investment (FDI) law was communicated in a series of Twitter posts by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who had chaired the Cabinet meeting in which the decree law was approved.
Later that month, the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, issued the Decree (Federal Decree Law No. 19 of 2018) (“Decree”) permitting 100% foreign ownership by global investors in the UAE mainland, as promised.
The Decree permits companies, who carry out activities (which are not in the ‘negative list’ prescribed by the Law), to apply to own up to 100% of a limited liability company (LLC) in the UAE.
The negative list includes banking activities, financing, payment systems and dealing in cash, insurance services, land and air transport services, commercial agent services and medical retail services such as private pharmacies.
While the Decree provided a negative list for sectors in which an FDI application may not be made, it authorised the Cabinet to separately issue a positive list of sectors in which an FDI application would be welcomed. The Decree also allowed the Cabinet to amend the positive list to include or exclude certain sectors or activities.
In the months following the issuance of the Decree, much debate occurred regarding the content of the positive list and the mechanism for its application in different Emirates. The Emirate of Dubai, as of the date of this article, was the only Emirate where the Department of Economic Development (DED) accepted applications made by businesses pursuant to the Decree. The DED in Dubai has registered new companies and converted existing companies to become 100% foreign owned. The applications to the DED in Dubai have been assessed on a case-by-case basis, based on each application’s individual merits. Common criteria included the size of the investment in the UAE and the number of employees to be hired by the business. The DED also requested companies applying for 100% foreign ownership to appoint a UAE national (or a company owned by UAE nationals) to act as a local service agent for immigration purposes.
Another welcomed development came by way of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s announcement on 1 July, 2019, stating that “a resolution allowing 100 per cent foreign ownership in UAE's 122 economic sectors [was adopted], giving foreigners 100 per cent ownership of their investment. The sectors include agriculture, manufacturing … transportation, arts, construction, entertainment among others.”
The ‘positive list’ covers 122 activities in the agriculture, manufacturing, education, health and

services sectors. The ‘positive list’ also prescribes a minimum share capital for certain activities and a requirement to register with the Tawteen Partners Club for select activities as well; below is a list of the most notable activities in each sector:
The issuance of the federal ‘positive list’ indicates that the other UAE Emirates may begin accepting applications for businesses that fall within the said list. This will mean a more uniform application of the Decree across the Emirates.
The approach to activities which do not fall within the ‘negative list’ or the ‘positive list’ such as specialised retail, real estate activities, F&B and operating hotels, is not yet clear. It appears as though approvals in this grey area of activities may be granted on a case by case basis at the discretion of the relevant authorities.
Further updates will be issued once the DED in the various Emirates determine the formal procedure for applications in the sectors listed under the said resolution.
