Since being awarded the right to host the World Expo for 2020 in Dubai, the emirate has been in high gear preparing for this world-stage event. Held under the theme Connecting Minds, Creating the Future, this echoes the powerful spirit of partnership and co-operation that has driven the UAE’s success in pioneering new paths of development and innovation.

Running from 20 October 2020 through 10 April 2021, the Expo will launch the country’s Golden Jubilee celebrations and serve as a springboard from which to inaugurate a progressive and sustainable vision for the coming decades.

With an expectation of 25 million visitors, 70 percent of which will come from overseas, various sectors are already benefitting from the potential for the Expo, not least the real estate market. With Dubai Lagoon’s close proximity to the Dubai Expo 2020 site, its convenient connections with Maktoum International Airport, the development is ideally placed to provide a home for people working with the Dubai Expo 2020, while also providing a great opportunity for visitors to the Expo itself.

While the Expo will bring a wealth of opportunity to Dubai Investments Park, it also provides a sound investment opportunity for the future of the emirate as it expands.

With the creation of Dubai South, and the potential half a million jobs that will come out of the expansion of this new city, the opportunity for investors and buyers to leverage the existing facilities at Dubai Lagoon and Schon Business Park, will be tremendous.

The area between Dubai Investments Park and Dubai South is ripe for development and with the city’s aims for the future, and the vision laid out in the Dubai Strategic Plan 2021, this will drive demand for commercial, retail and residential property in this areas for years to come.
