THE DATA

The numbers. No fluff.

JGC is a rare combination of <b>freehold + a central location + 2 metro stations</b>. Reasonable yields (5-7%) at a lower price point than Downtown or DIFC. Demand comes from senior expats working in DIFC, Downtown or the Trade Centre. <b>Just 3,200 units</b> — relatively limited supply that generates steady rental demand.
