    Property of the monthHead to Tecom for this one-bedroom wonder...

    Dubai real estate is now emerging as a safe haven against economic

    challenges as well as political turmoil. Prime London property is going for $3,000 per square foot (and more) with yields as low as 2%, yet Burj Khalifa, the most prized real estate asset in Dubai, is hovering between $750 and $950 per square foot with yields as high as 5%.

    Nearly $7.7 billion of foreign direct investment was put into Dubai real estate in the first six months of 2012. In value terms, real estate transactions hit AED63billion. Of this, AED29billion was mortgage-based which equates to AED4.8billion a month. Total transactions were 18,953 averaging at 133 transactions per day. This represents a 21 per cent growth over the same period in 2011.

    As a demographic breakdown, Indians purchased 2,153 properties at a value of AED3.75billion, followed by Pakistanis who bought 1,814 properties valued AED1.713billion. British investors bought a total of 1,564 properties worth AED2,529billion, while Russian and Iranian investors competed for the fourth and fifth spots with Iranians buying 1,057 properties worth AED1,515billion while Russians purchased 694 properties at a value of AED1,438billion. Saudi investors came sixth after buying 416 units at a value of AED1,059billion, followed by Americans with 415 properties valued at Dh694 million.

    Life is sweet in this tranquil all-villa community the Iannelli family invite us in to their high-tech home

    For Ivano Iannelli and his wife Kasia, life in Arabian Ranches never used to appeal in fact, the prospect only occurred to them after six years of living in a Dubai apartment. We were both very negative towards the area, says Ivano. We thought it was cut off from the city, but we were having no luck looking elsewhere. Our son Max [pictured here with his school-friend Leo Platas] was growing fast, so when our friend suggested Arabian Ranches we thought that wed come to see and weve never looked back. For the couple, it was the finishing touches that sealed the deal the fittings and doors are the same as those in high-quality Marina tower Le Rve as well as the abundance of space. We love the impact of the double-height ceiling in the living room, and there is plenty of room for all of Maxs toys, says Ivano. We were living in a luxury apartment before, but in a villa like this it s much easier to feel settled.

    The couple spent years working for the UN all over the world before settling in Dubai, and their home is full of reminders of their globe- trotting past. We have collected many different items on our travels lots of the pieces are very personal to us, says Ivano. We worked for a while in Afghanistan, which is where our dining table was custom-made from an ornate door, and where we found many of our mirrors and cabinets. Closer to home, the Iannellis have picked up items from Marina and Gallery One as well as creating a few inventive pieces of their own: We like to be resourceful with our furniture: in the kitchen we have made a chest of drawers from some unwanted wooden crates that I sourced from a retailer, and we use them as storage. Every box is unique, it is an environmentally-friendly design, and better yet we can hide all of Maxs toys in there.

    The Iannellis ingenuity doesnt end there, however: their villa is a fully-integrated smart home that s leading the way for modern living. I can control everything from the lighting to the televisions at the touch of a button, says Ivano. Everything is connected to a processing unit that s hidden in one of the cupboards, and I have software on my iPhone, iPad and laptop that allows me to command it all via the internet. It hasnt been easy to set up in the local market, not many people can provide know-how, Ivano admits but it s a system that s allowed the family to save both money and their carbon emissions. I can adjust the setting for the different zones of the house using different settings this level of control saves a huge amount of energy and money. Each room has a computerised panel in the wall which

    controls the settings via a touch screen it s simple to use and takes care of everything.

    As CEO at the Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence, Ivano is always looking for ways to cut his carbon footprint but the smart system has safety benefits too. We dont have security concerns here, but I do have children concerns, Ivano says. When my son is upstairs, for example, I dont want him opening the window of his bedroom while not accompanied. So, if he does open it, a discreet warning goes off downstairs. We have the same set-up with the pool cover: it can only be opened using the system, so I dont have to worry about him opening it without us realising or falling in while hes playing outside. It s all about safety for the family, peace of mind.

    The couple bought the property 18 months ago, and life in the community is proving very

    enjoyable: We love the area, says Ivano. The only problem is that it s so comfortable youre away from the city, and it s peaceful, but when youre back in the thick of things it can be hard to adjust! There are many good schools, plenty of restaurants and handy shops nearby so you never feel compelled to go far. There is a concept that Arabian Ranches is cut off from everything, but it s not so. Yes, living here adds ten minutes to every journey, but we dont feel it, and of course the road links are very handy.

    At home, the Iannellis make the most of their large garden and the nearby parks: We love to be outside now the cooler months are coming my wife always wanted a lush, green garden around the house. It s an extravagance, but we have beautiful birds visiting the gardens in the morning. This is the most at home weve felt in a long time.

    There are plenty of options for both buying and renting here, and theres lots of choice for families of all sizes. Villas range from two- to five-bedroom layouts, and styles vary throughout the development. You can take your pick from no fewer than 12 communities, each with their own personality.

    This is a busy neighbourhood, so there are lots of ways to keep the whole family entertained. Mums will love sampling the menu of treatments at Angsana Spa (04 361 8251), or working up a sweat in the excercise classes at the women-only Exhale gym (04 447 4220). Dad will want to head straight to Arabian Ranches Golf Club (04 366 3000), with its 18-hole par-72 grass course. Some villas even overlook the club, but its designer greens and lively clubhouse are within easy reach of all parts of the development. For kids, Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club (04 361 8111) is perfect the dressage and show jumping courses are great for would-be jockeys, and desert hacking trips are available too. Meanwhile, nearby Step Up Academy (04 453 4360) offers dance classes and arty workshops galore.

    For the smallest of learners, Little Ponies (part of Jebel Ali Village Nursery, jebelalinursery.com) offers pre-school daycare at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club. For older children, there are a couple of options close by, including Jumeirah English Speaking School (jess.sch.ae) for Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form levels. Students are taught from the UK National Curriculum, and the school is very well-regarded. GEMS World Academy (gemsworldacademy-dubai.com), which enjoys a similarly high-quality reputation, is a few minutes away too. Admissions range from pre-school to higher education, and lessons follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. Facilities include a theatre, sports courts, symphony centre and planetarium.

    little ones to run wild in. Arabian Ranches is one of the leafiest parts of the city, and security is present around the clock. Shared areas are carefully landscaped and many villas have their own gardens and if you want watery views, look out for the lake-side Alma district. Construction work is now complete and the area is nicely established, so youll be moving in to a community rather than a building site.

    countless options within quick delivery range, including local takeaway favourite London Fish & Chips (04 434 0540), hearty la carte eatery Ranches Restaurant and Bar (04 360 7935), and gourmet sandwich shop MBCO (04 430 9774). You wont find many clothes shops or interiors retailers in the area, but easy transport links put you in close reach of Mall of the Emirates and Sheikh Zayed Road.

    An upward swing in pricing in JLT is evident now, with the rents of studios crossing AED40,000 and one-bedroom apartments reaching AED55-60,000. These figures are AED5-10,000 above what we saw six months ago. There is a steady influx of investors looking for units in JLT as it is one of the citys best locations to look for return on investment. An average of 8% ROI is achievable in JLT, unlike Marina or any other location in Dubai.
