When it comes to Dubai, The First Group knows more than a thing or two about investing. The British-owned property development company specialises in delivering property solutions to meet the demands of the international investor market. With stunning buildings in sought after locations, The First Group is now one of the most renowned names offering investment opportunities in both Dubai's residential and hotel sector
With 20 years of experience in the international property market, the First Group prides itself on standing out from the crowd as a specialist and niche property developer, focusing solely on tapping into the potential of emerging markets. So, where better to base the global headquarters than in one of the fastest and most talked about property markets in the world – Dubai and the Northern Emirates?Just a few decades ago, Dubai was little more than a desert. Fast forward to the present day and it is an investor’s dream; a cosmopolitan hub of international trade and tourism. As well as boasting one of the world’s quickest growing economies, the boom in the emirate’s property market can only be described as phenomenal. According to leading property advisors Knight Frank, the value of property in Dubai has increased by 52.6 percent over the last year. Compare that to a top location like London, which has only risen by two percent, the figures speak for themselves.
With its focus on tourism as well as developing other resources such as shipping, information technology, communications and finance sectors, Dubai is fast making a name as one of the most desirable property hot spots on the planet. As a result the relentless demand for luxury residential or hotel accommodation continues to far outstrip supply.
Since the success of The First Group’s debut project in Dubai Sports City, The Diamond, three additional developments have been added under the Dubai Sports City umbrella – The Matrix, The Bridge and The Spirit, all of which sold off plan within a very short period of time. Following on from Dubai’s success, The First Group expanded into the up and coming Northern Emirates, with the release of Yasmin and The Orchid in Ras Al Khaimah, and Beachside – a stunning coastal development in Umm Al Quwain. The most recent additions to The First Group’s portfolio include the prestigious Metro Central, an exclusive hotel apartment project in the heart of ‘New Dubai,’ and The First Group Tower, our landmark development nestled in the centre of the up and coming community Jumeirah Village South.
The First Group’s commitment to exceptional quality of design, finish and service means that many investors come back time and again for future purchases. A whole host of international sporting stars have lent their support to The First Group, not only by buying property, but by becoming Global Ambassadors. Making up “The First Team” are international football legends, Michael Owen and Andriy Shevchenko; Russian Tennis Ace, Svetlana Kuznetsova, cricketer Andrew Flintoff. former Ryder Cup Captain, Sam Torrance and South African rugby star, Bryan Gary Habana.
