Compiling proprietary qualitative and quantitative research data, the study includes valuable industry research that provides unique insights into Gulf real estate development, and reveals the preferences of homebuyers and development professionals.

"Our study is an invaluable reference for the real estate industry, especially in this region where total development projects in the UAE, planned and underway, increased by 79% between 2006 and 2007. The comprehensive information contained in GRES will become essential for anyone interested in predicting the opportunities and direction of the Gulf real estate sector and the role of marketing and branding can play,"

said Rina Plapler, Executive Director at FutureBrand.

GRES 2007 also considers industry concerns from the perspective of the developers and governments, addressing topical issues such as rising inflation and costs of living, increased attention to the environment and sustainability, the proliferation of luxury, and the correlation between branding and real estate.

The Real Estate Division of Istithmar a member of Dubai World, has sponsored the Study, while AME Info and Cityscape Marketing Intelligence are both profiling GRES.
