The development of cultural districts is emerging as a significant value driver in Middle Eastern real estate markets. Properties near institutions like the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Dubai Opera demonstrate 10-15% higher appreciation rates compared to similar units in other prime locations. This "culture premium" appears most pronounced in luxury segments and extends to rental yields, though the effect diminishes significantly beyond a 1-kilometer radius. The trend reflects growing appreciation for arts infrastructure as a component of urban quality of life, particularly among high-net-worth buyers.
