            With its central location, Holland Village is in close proximity to the downtown and Orchard areas, as well as the open space of the Singapore Botanic Gardens and MacRitchie Reservoir. Though home to lots of families, Holland Village still has a very eclectic feel with a variety of bars, shops local and Western restaurants.

            Whether running your own business or looking for a job with an existing business, Singapore has a business environment that is sure to work in your favor. Singapore’s population of only 5 million leaves them hungry to acquire foreign talent, which translates to high acceptance rates on work permits, and high average salary. HSBC’s Expat Explorer Survey reported that the average salary of Singaporean expats is $139,000, compared to the global average of $97,000 for expats living in other countries.

            But from recent data of the Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority’s rental index, prices of all private residential properties surged by 29.7% year-on-year in 2022 — the highest since 2007. Foreign residents in Singapore continue to feel the pinch as home rental prices soar and show few signs of returning to pre-pandemic levels soon.


            Holland Village is favored for its central location, it is situated near the Orchard and downtown areas.

                  Dubai or Abu Dhabi? Which City is good for Overseas Real Estate Investment?





                  The UAE has been making waves in the global real estate market for several years now, and its growth trajectory shows no signs of slowing down. When it comes to real estate market of the major areas, both Dubai and Abu Dhabi have their own unique strengths and weaknesses.

                  Dubai is known for its luxury properties and vibrant lifestyle, while Abu Dhabi offers more affordable options for buyers. According to the statistics, Dubai’s real estate market has seen a higher growth in recent years compared to Abu Dhabi’s. However, Abu Dhabi’s real estate market is expected to grow at a faster pace in the coming years, with the government investing heavily in infrastructure and real estate projects.

                  Abu Dhabi records 7,474 property transactions over Dhs22.5 billion of real estate during the first half of 2022.

                  Here are some factors that help you make an wiser decision in investing between Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

                  Population

                  Dubai has a population of around 3.4 million, that is almost double the population of Abu Dhabi despite being much smaller in terms of size which makes it much more busier, Abu Dhabi occupies nearly 84% of the country’s total area and has a population of only 1.5M people which is why it may seem slightly more quiet if you are an outgoing person.

                  Tourism

                  Tourism in Dubai has been rapidly rebounding since the COVID-19 pandemic. Dubai has officially surpassing its pre-pandemic tourism numbers for the first half of 2023. The emirate welcomed 8.55 million in the first half of 2023 compared to 8.36 million in the same period in 2019. While the Department of Culture and Tourism has announced Abu Dhabi has a continues sustainable growth to reach 24 million visitors target for 2023, an increase from 18 million in the previous year.



                  Abu Dhabi also proved itself as a premier destination for global sport by hosting key events such as the renowned Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, NBA, and UFC.

                  Law & Regulations

                  It’s important to understand the rules and regulations across both emirates as they may limit or hinder your real estate ownership ambitions. In Dubai title deeds are mandatory in both freehold and non-free hold areas for nationals and foreigners alike. Dubai also offers an investor visa when you buy property as a foreigner which can be beneficial if you want to spend some time in the UAE. Under Law Number 13 of 2019 which is the latest amendment to the legislative authority that governs real estate in Abu Dhabi, there are dedicated investment zones that allow foreigners to own real estate (land) within those zones.

                  Free Zone

                  Dubai has over 20 free zones (46% of total) that offer a range of opportunities for businesses and investors. The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), Jebal Ali Free Zone, Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA), and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) are among the most prominent free zones in Dubai, attracting a diverse range of businesses, from commodities trading to financial services and technology. Dubai Internet City (DIC) is another popular free zone that provides a hub for technology companies, offering world-class infrastructure and support for startups and established businesses alike.

                  The free zones in Abu Dhabi cover various industries, business owners can choose to set up companies in Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone (ADAFZ), Masdar City Free Zone , Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD), Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD), etc

                  Infrastructure

                  Dubai International Airport and Abu Dhabi International Airport are two of the busiest airports in the region, offering convenient air travel options for residents and visitors. Dubai International Airport is one of the largest airports in the world, serving over 64 million customers annually and offering flights to over 270 destinations with 140 different airlines.

Increased job creation and a growing economy is attracting large scale development to Manchester, making it an exciting time to invest in this city.

                    Employment growth in construction is projected to lead the way with the biggest increase in the number of jobs at 50.6% and the highest growth value added at 49.9%. This is likely driven by some of the major developments across the city, including Piccadilly, Mayfield, Great Jackson Street, and St John’s. The other sectors expanding the fastest include business and finance, cultural, creative, and digital and retail.

                    Demand for additional residential housing is forecast to increase significantly as the city’s population and employment opportunities continue to grow. Property investment in Manchester, especially in the city center, will continue to be a lucrative opportunity for buy-to-let investors in the coming years.
