The GCC Property Playbook
Honest, research-backed analysis of each GCC market — written for investors who want facts, not hype.
Dubai recorded a record 205,400 residential transactions in 2025, up 18% — but with 100,000+ units scheduled for delivery annually in 2026–2027, leading indicators increasingly point to a more measured phase. Knight Frank forecasts +3% prime price growth in 2026. Here is what investors need to understand about where we are in the cycle.

"Mohsin is a visionary with a proven track record. His knowledge of the GCC market is extraordinary — he understood exactly where each market was in its cycle and which entry point made sense for my portfolio. I've now invested in two Dubai properties and one in Oman through LaneTwelve. Couldn't be happier with the returns."
"What sets LaneTwelve apart is the honesty. They told me exactly which Oman project to avoid and why — saving me from a bad decision before pointing me to a much better opportunity. That kind of integrity is genuinely rare in this industry. I now have Oman residency for my whole family through the 30% deposit rule."
"I had researched Dubai real estate for over a year and kept going in circles — too much noise, too many conflicts of interest. One conversation with Mohsin cut through everything and gave me a clear, data-driven plan. Three properties in across Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and the returns have exceeded every projection."
The Best GCC Deals Don't Wait for You
Off-plan properties in Dubai's hottest neighbourhoods sell out within days. Oman's Sorouh projects are moving fast under the new 30% deposit rule. Saudi pre-launch allocations are limited. If you have been thinking about it — now is the time to act.
