Consulting in Dubai
The most rational real estate market in the Gulf region — when approached with discipline, due diligence and the right local partners.
Dubai · United Arab Emirates
Our Dubai practice focuses on disciplined real estate allocation across Downtown, Marina, Business Bay, JVC and Dubai South, with rigorous underwriting on net yields and full transparency on service charges, DEWA and management costs.
For founders, Dubai is also a relocation and structuring opportunity — Golden Visa, free zones and tax framework — which we advise on in coordination with regulated local partners.
Dubai is the most professionalised real estate market we operate in outside Europe and the natural off-shore base for Italian and Latin American entrepreneurs scaling internationally. The combination of zero personal income tax, world-class free zones (DMCC, IFZA, Meydan) and the new Golden Visa regime makes 2025 one of the most strategic windows for European business owners to establish a substantive Gulf presence.
Our local work splits across two practices. The first is corporate setup and operational ramp-up: free-zone incorporation, banking, residency planning, hiring and the recurring substance compliance that the regulator has tightened materially over the last 18 months. The second is real estate advisory: branded residences in Palm Jumeirah, Downtown and Business Bay, pre-construction allocations in Dubai Hills and Dubai South, and a selected pipeline of yield-focused short-term rental portfolios.
Typical Italian client engagements in Dubai run 6 to 18 months, combining the corporate setup with a personal residency optimisation and an initial real estate allocation. We work with vetted local lawyers, accountants and banking partners — never on commission — to ensure every step is structured for substance, not appearance.
