Dubai’s dynamic education industry is experiencing a parallel boom in real estate transactions, with top investment companies such as Amanat Holdings and Elevate sealing large property deals. In a strategic development, DFM-listed Amanat declared the sale of its plot for North London Collegiate School Dubai, heralding a trend whereby real estate tied to education is emerging as a profitable asset class.
The school, which operates in Dubai’s prestigious Meydan area, will continue operations unaffected. The sale reflects Amanat’s broader portfolio strategy to monetize non-core assets while focusing on core investments in healthcare and education operations. The value of the deal has not been disclosed but industry insiders suggest it aligns with rising property prices in prime educational zones.
Elevate, yet another prominent education investment player, also announced fresh acquisitions, tapping into foreign operators’ demand to penetrate or grow within the UAE market. With the increasing population and growing interest in high-end K-12 education, the education real estate segment is attracting serious investor interest.
Experts are of the view that Dubai schools real estate market will stay busy, particularly as new curricula and international school brands arrive in the UAE. The synergy of high yield potential, stable tenants, and long-term demand is making school plots a top investment option in the emirate’s competitive property market.
