Image
The crystal lagoon at Azizi Riviera isn't finished yet, but it is visibly taking shape. Our office is at Azizi Riviera in Meydan, so we see the lagoon site every day. This week we walked the length of it to see exactly where things stand. Here's an honest update for owners, tenants and anyone thinking of buying in Riviera. The Lagoon at a Glance The lagoon is the centrepiece of the Riviera masterplan in Meydan, Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Azizi Developments has said it will stretch around  2.7 km  and cover about  130,000 square metres , filled with desalinated water ( Gulf News, March 2022 ). The plan also includes a  lagoon walk  with cafés, restaurants and boutiques along the water. For the buildings that line it, the lagoon is what turns a good address into a waterfront one.

International City Property Investment: Rental Income Today and Better Connectivity Ahead

Image
  By Imran Khan, Founder & Chairman, Black Arrow Real Estate When assessing a property investment, I start with three questions: What does it cost to buy? What rent can it realistically achieve? And how much will the owner spend keeping it? International City deserves attention because, for selected apartments, those numbers can make a compelling starting point. Its relatively accessible prices and established rental market give investors an opportunity to consider income-producing property without committing to a much larger purchase. The Metro Blue Line adds another reason to examine the community’s future. However, the investment should first stand up on its existing rental income. What the studio numbers tell us Based on Black Arrow Real Estate’s observations of selected studios, an illustrative purchase might look like this: Purchase price:  AED 330,000 Annual rental income:  AED 30,000 Annual service charges:  AED 5,000 Income remaining after service charge...

Image
Dubai’s property market continues to evolve, and the latest shared-housing regulations are an important development for landlords, investors and property managers. In October 2026, Dubai Municipality’s shared-housing announcements brought renewed attention to how residential properties can legally be o ccupied, managed and rented to multiple residents. For landlords, particularly those living overseas, understanding these requirements is essential before entering into shared-housing arrangements. At Black Arrow Real Estate, we have been helping property owners and tenants across Dubai since 2006. We believe landlords should understand both the opportunities and responsibilities associated with these changes. What Has Changed in Dubai? According to a Gulf News report published on 7 October 2026, Dubai Municipality identified more than 44 areas for permitted shared housing. Areas mentioned in the report include: Al Souq Al Kabeer Al Ras Al Warqa 1 Al Barsha 1 Al Muraqqabat A...
