The Middle East has become the global hub for luxury property with a high percentage of real estate developers offering off plan sales to international buyers, said a property expert.

"With its extravagant 2020 city plans, UAE will prevail in its architectural engineering exceeding the global standards of design we know today," remarked Salman Yusuf, the founder of Takeleap, a Dubai-based digital agency with expertise in projection mapping and Augmented Reality.

"In parallel to the city’s innovative architecture, standards of real estate must surpass the client’s traditional expectations and provide them with an in-depth involvement of their housing experience," stated Yusuf.

Building upon its previous models, “My Virtual Home” and “Zayed Communities,” launched in 2014 for Sheikh Zayed Housing project, Takeleap developed its most recent technological advance in real estate sales giving an immersive experience in the UAE.

"A digital application was thus created, allowing users to take visual tours of potential properties with a multilingual and interactive interface, stated the creative technology agency, noted the company's founder.

"Through the Sheikh Zayed Housing project, we saw a drastic increase in interest and sales even prior to the completion of project, through our digital tour experience," he added.

According to Yusuf, Takeleap’s groundbreaking technology is playing a significant role in bridging the gap between the developers and the potential buyers.

"With this, the customers are able to enter this 3 dimensional cube with floor to ceiling screens of the model at hand offering them a full sensory experience close enough to almost touch. They will be able to experience every inch of the interiors as well as the exteriors of the house and community," he pointed out.

This, he stated, will assist them in designing their homes to their tastes accordingly.

"We believe that allowing potential buyers to visualize their future homes at this magnitude can generate an incomparable experience and support them throughout their decision making process," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
