World Abu Dhabi or Yas Waterworld, can all be reached in about half an hour by car.

Economic attractiveness

One of the main advantages of investing in Tala Tower is that construction has already been completed and you can move in immediately after the purchase. Marina Square is a freehold area, which means you can buy the property with full ownership.

Buying a property in the Tala Tower complex can be a profitable investment if you intend to rent the apartments out. The annual rental price in the complex starts from AED 54K (USD 14.7K) for a one-bedroom unit. Return on investment for one-bedroom apartments is at least 7.3% per annum, and for apartments with 2-3 bedrooms — up to 6.4%.

In addition, purchasing real estate from a minimum of AED 2M (USD 545K), means you can apply for a 10-year investor visa with the option to sponsor a husband/wife and children under the age of 18. This visa can be renewed for an unlimited number of times and is valid for as long as you own the property.
