Buyer demand for the branded property has been substantial despite the market's scarcity of available options.

"This type of transaction shows us what the real market inclination is for rare properties. It's not speculation or hype but a true form of end-user appetite for ready, turn-key branded residences," George Azar, chairman of Luxhabitat Sotheby's International Realty, was quoted as saying in the report.

"These exquisite Mansions at Bvlgari Resorts & Residences are extremely coveted, but none are currently on the market to satisfy the demand."

According to data compiled by the Dubai Land Department, the average price per square foot for a unit at Bvlgari Resorts & Residences has climbed consistently year on year since 2019.

The connected Bvlgari Resorts & Residences are among the most popular properties in Dubai right now, with demand considerably exceeding supply.

Consequently, the properties provide both privacy and exclusivity with views of the Dubai skyline directly from the apartments or villas with close access to a private beach.

The Bvlgari Marina has more than 50 spots and can accommodate boats that are 30 feet to 120 feet in length, making it ideal for boating enthusiasts.
