We aren't a brokerage.
We're a private advisory.
Metrolux exists because international investors deserved a Dubai partner that behaved like a private bank — confidential, principled, mathematically honest about returns. We curate. We underwrite. We answer the phone long after closing.
A decade of placing global capital into Dubai.
Metrolux was founded in 2014 by a small group of bankers and developers who watched international clients get cycled through transactional brokers — sold whatever was easiest to close that quarter, then abandoned at handover.
We built the opposite firm. A boutique that limits the number of clients per advisor, underwrites every recommendation against conservative rental and exit assumptions, and keeps a property management mandate so our incentives stay aligned long after the SPA is signed.
Twelve years later we operate from Business Bay, hold direct launch allocations with the UAE's major developers, and serve families and single-family offices across the UK, US, EU, GCC, India and Greater China.
Twelve years, quietly compounding.

Conviction over commission.
Our advisors are paid on long-term portfolio performance, not transaction velocity. That single fact reorders how we recommend, what we recommend, and what we refuse.
Underwritten in person
Every residence we recommend is visited, audited, and modelled by a senior partner — never a brochure resell.
Mathematically honest
We model conservative occupancy, real service charges, DLD fees, agency fees and exit costs — not glossy headline yields.
Discreet by design
Your name appears only where it must — title deed, escrow, visa. Nowhere on social, nowhere in press releases.
Aligned for the long run
We retain a Property Management mandate on most acquisitions. Your yield becomes our quarterly review.
Developer-direct pricing
We hold launch-day allocations with Emaar, DAMAC, Sobha, Danube and Nakheel — no inventory markup, no sub-brokerage.
Always reachable
A named partner — not a call centre — on WhatsApp from handover through resale, in your timezone.
Four integrated practices.
Investment Advisory
Portfolio construction, market timing, off-plan vs ready strategy, multi-unit allocations.
Brokerage
Developer-direct purchases, secondary acquisitions, off-market resale opportunities.
Property Management
Leasing, tenant vetting, snagging, handover, service charge audit and yield reporting.
Golden Visa
10-year residency filings for principal investor and dependents, including medical and Emirates ID.
A senior partner on every file.
No junior handoffs. The partner who underwrites your first viewing is the partner who signs your handover.
Managing Partner
20+ years across Dubai, London and Singapore residential markets. Personally underwrites every off-plan allocation.
Head of Advisory
Former private banker; structures portfolios for UK, EU and GCC families with multi-jurisdiction tax considerations.
Director, Property Management
Oversees a portfolio of 600+ leased units. KPI: net yield delivered, not gross headline rent.
Head of Golden Visa
Liaison with GDRFA and ICP. End-to-end 10-year visa filings for principal investor and dependents.
Launch-day allocations, no markup.
Trusted across three continents.
I bought a Sobha Hartland apartment without ever flying to Dubai. The escrow, the NOC, the DLD transfer — all handled. ROI in year one was 9.4%.
I needed a Golden Visa pathway and a hedge against sterling. Metrolux delivered both — a DAMAC townhouse that paid for itself in rental within 18 months of handover.
Their advisory is the closest thing I've seen to a private bank for Dubai property. Clear numbers, clear risks, no theatrics.
The detail underneath.
Boring details matter when you're wiring seven figures across borders. Here's the quick reference card for compliance, legal and family-office teams.
