New bid process for land sales - General Conditions
Nakheel, a Dubai World company and one of the world’s largest and most innovative real estate developers, has introduced a new and radical sealed bid process for land sales. Last week, Nakheel sold 23 plots within the Canal District at Waterfront in this way and in the process set new standards of transparency and openness for land sales in Dubai.
Approved by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), the sealed bid process changes the fundamental terms and conditions for buyers of the plots and means they are obligated to develop the purchased land and cannot re-sell. Real estate brokers are also not permitted to purchase land through the new system.
