CRESCO PRESENTS
Four Saturdays in October. Four private sessions with Cresco Real Estate and selected UAE developers. Discover Dubai. Understand the numbers. Invest globally.
Cresco Real Estate is bringing Dubai's property market to California for four Saturdays in October 2026. Each stop is a private session: market data from the Dubai Land Department register, Golden Visa pathways, rental returns and capital appreciation explained with the numbers behind them, and direct access to selected UAE developers with one to one consultations. Attendance is limited and registration is required.

| Topic | What you will actually get |
|---|---|
| Market fundamentals | Dubai sales volumes, prices and price per square foot from the Dubai Land Department register, in dollars, with the method stated |
| Supply and demand | What was launched, what was sold, what was handed over, and where the gap between the two sits |
| Rental returns | Gross and net yields, service charges, and what a US buyer should subtract before believing a yield |
| Capital appreciation | Registered resale prices, not asking prices, by community and bedroom count |
| Golden Visa pathways | The property investment route to UAE residency, the thresholds and the paperwork, explained plainly |
| International diversification | Dubai and the United States together, not one against the other, including tax points for California residents |
| Selected opportunities | Developers present in person, project access, and private one to one consultations |
We would rather you walk in already knowing the market. These figures are from the Dubai Land Department register, converted at the pegged rate of 3.6725 dirhams to the dollar.
| August 2026, registered apartment sales | Sales | Median price | Median size | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 3,602 | $176,991 | 380.5 sq ft | $475.05 |
| One bedroom | 3,561 | $326,753 | 756.5 sq ft | $435.67 |
| Two bedroom | 1,876 | $557,434 | 1,238.2 sq ft | $449.53 |
| Three bedroom | 454 | $980,380 | 1,835.2 sq ft | $526.10 |
That is 9,956 apartment sales in one month on our standard screen. In the week of 5 to 11 October 2026 the register recorded 2,493 sales of all kinds worth AED 7.07 billion, about $1.93 billion. Dubai charges no annual property tax and no capital gains tax on a sale. A 4 per cent transfer fee applies at purchase. United States citizens remain liable to the IRS on worldwide income and should take their own tax advice.
Read more before the session: a Dubai three bedroom is the size of the median American home, how Americans buy property in Dubai, and how much money you need to buy in Dubai.
Californians who want a second market with no property tax and a currency pegged to the dollar. Investors who want rental income in a city with 3.98 million US existing home sales a year on one side of the comparison and a 9,956 sale month on the other. Families looking at the Golden Visa as a residency option. Anyone who has read the Dubai headlines and wants the register instead.
It is not for anyone who wants to be sold a unit on the day. Cresco's position is the same in Newport Beach as it is on Sheikh Zayed Road: buy the property because the numbers make sense, not because the story sounds good.
Cresco Real Estate LLC is a Dubai Land Department registered brokerage, RERA ORN 34288, with its head office on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, and a United States office at 1800 N Vine Street, Hollywood, Los Angeles. Founded in 2022 by Umer Shauket. Cresco Intelligence, the research desk, publishes Dubai market data from the register with the method stated on every page.
Four stops: Pendry Newport Beach on October 3, Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego on October 10, The St. Regis San Francisco on October 17, and Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on October 24, 2026. The first two have taken place.

Price is only part of what you need in the bank. We worked out the full cash requirement, including the Land Department transfer fee, the service partner fee and the Central Bank deposit caps, in how much money you need to buy property in Dubai.
