Dev Kalra

Dev Kalra is the senior voice on Dubai investment-16 years spent on the side of the deal that doesn't show up in a glossy render: the returns. His coverage runs across Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Dubai South, Dubai Hills Estate, and Jumeirah Village Circle, with a sharp eye for where rental demand is real and where it's only projected. On HcoRealEstates.com, Anil writes for investors building or expanding a Dubai portfolio-separating gross yield from net, factoring in service charges most buyers forget, weighing off-plan against secondary, and pricing in handover and completion risk. He covers projects from developers including Emaar, DAMAC, Sobha Realty, Ellington, Binghatti, Imtiaz Developments, and Meraas. "A high rental yield means nothing until you've subtracted the service charge and the vacancy. Then you have the truth." Anil's analysis is built to give investors net numbers, not headline ones.
