Hello reader,

The Dubai real estate market is facing unprecedented demand with the upward trend set to continue in the coming year. Among the city’s diverse residential offerings are ultra-luxury villas and apartments featuring exclusive amenities that can cost millions to rent per year. Here are some of the most expensive apartments and villas available for rent in Dubai.

In addition, the trend of branded residences is on the rise globally, especially in Dubai with noticeable increases in branded residential projects set to reshape the city’s skyline. However, are there distinctive advantages to owning a branded residence over a non-branded one or is the price tag only associated with the brand name?

Meanwhile, the UAE funding landscape is seeing a paradigm shift, with venture capitals (VCs) and other investors increasingly preferring ventures in the technology, renewable and tourism sectors for funding, industry insiders said. The country is also witnessing technology platforms-driven transformation in the investment sector, with intermediary ventures such as Incomlend linking smaller businesses to major international investors and private funders for securing financing, adding to the ongoing diversification drive in the economy.

In other news, Arabian Business spoke to experts on how employees can identify workplace toxicity and take action effectively.
