Just received an email from a friend who's moving his business, including workshop and showrooms, to far smaller quarters way further out. The landlord has upped the rent on his original place by almost 100%.
7% rent cap? Only for some...
Heard that many, including quite a few locals, have been issued with 'evacuation orders' from that part of Satwa between SZR and Wasl Al to make room for Dubai's (about to be created) 'Manhattan'.
