Dubai Bubble

No one can say that Dubai is not forward thinking in their plans for the emirate. There seems to be a never ending supply of new developments and staggering construction projects. An interesting statistic I came across recently –

25 percent of the world’s operating construction cranes are currently in Dubai - working. That's 30,000 cranes at the moment.

Some are beginning to question the sustainability of all this, especially when you consider all the construction is in the desert - with limited water supply and every single project putting more and more pressure on a limited infrastructure. Money week made an interesting comment recently – “When a property developer starts handing out free BMWs and Bentleys with every apartment sale, you can be sure that a property bubble isn’t far off popping.”
