The influx of high-net-worth individuals, including 6,700 millionaires relocating to Dubai in 2024, has driven demand for luxury properties, making the city a prime destination for institutional investment.

NiFCO’s expansion into the UAE is poised to capitalize on this momentum, delivering strong returns while contributing to the region’s dynamic property landscape.
