Retail units and podiums, judged by who trades there
Ground-floor retail, community centres and podium portfolios in Dubai and the northern emirates, for investors who want income backed by tenant trading rather than headline rents.
What we do
- Sourcing of individual units and multi-unit podiums
- Tenant-mix and catchment review
- Lease structure review: base rent, turnover rent, service charges
- Re-leasing strategy for vacant units
- Exit planning and disposal
What we check before you commit
- Signed leases versus quoted rents
- Footfall and catchment evidence
- Tenant covenant and lease expiries
- Permitted use and signage rights
- Service charge history
Typical holding structures
- Personal or corporate ownership
- Special purpose vehicle
- Co-investment club
Structures are chosen with your legal and tax advisors. Evara does not give legal or tax advice.
Relevant facts
We treat asking prices and quoted rents as marketing, not transaction evidence, until a signed lease or registered sale supports them
Evara Properties research policyQuestions investors ask
Do you guarantee retail yields?
No. We present signed-lease income where it exists and label everything else as indicative.
Do you cover retail outside Dubai?
Yes, including Ras Al Khaimah and the northern emirates, where we check each emirate's own registration and advertising rules.
Can retail be held alongside residential?
Yes. Many family-office briefs combine both; we report them as one portfolio.
