According to the Second Investor Sentiment Survey, released by global real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle last week, the real estate market in the Middle East will attract more investors than any other region over the next one to two years. Abu Dhabi was judged as the region’s strongest market by the highest percentage of the survey’s respondents, 26 percent, followed by Saudi Arabia (25 percent), Qatar (19 percent) and Dubai (11 percent).
It also says that investors feel the UAE capital is well geared toward long-term success and competitiveness in comparison to other GCC cities. The survey includes the opinions of 200 high net worth individuals, institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds and developers.
