Spotlight on AirDXB at the Gulf Business Real Estate Summit

We are thrilled to announce that our very own Gregory Lewis, CEO of AirDXB, will be joining a high-profile panel at the Gulf Business Real Estate Summit, titled “Beyond the boom: What’s next for UAE real estate?”. This event, hosted by Gulf Business, is a key moment for the industry  and we’re honoured to be contributing to the conversation.

Event Details

• Where: Metropolitan Hotel, Dubai
• Format: Half-day summit with focused panels and expert discussion.

Why This Matters and Why AirDXB Is Here

The UAE real estate market has experienced extraordinary growth over recent years. But as markets mature, the conversation is shifting from simply riding the boom to understanding what’s next. Gulf Business’s summit will dive into the structural trends reshaping the sector: tokenisation, regulatory evolution, off‑plan value, and more.

For AirDXB, this is not just about observing the market, it is about leading it. As a company deeply embedded in short let management and property management in Dubai, we see both opportunity and risk. Gregory’s participation underscores our commitment to understanding and shaping the next phase of real estate in the UAE.

Gregory Lewis on the Panel: “Is a Dubai Real Estate Correction Imminent?”

Gregory will be speaking on Panel 2, titled “Is a Dubai real estate correction imminent?”. This session is one of the summit’s focal points, exploring whether recent signals (from credit agencies, market data, and more) point to a cooling or correction and what that means for the short let market.

Other panelists include:

• Lewis Allsopp (Chairman, Allsopp & Allsopp)
• Prathyusha Gurrapu (Head of Research, Cushman & Wakefield Core)
• Captain Pradeep Singh (Founder & Chairman, Karma Developers)
• Saurabh Bhatia (Director Corporate Advisory, Klay Capital)

Moderated by Gareth van Zyl, Group Editor at Gulf Business.

What AirDXB Brings to the Table

1. Short Let Management Expertise
   At AirDXB, our core business revolves around managing short term rentals across Dubai. We intimately understand the dynamics of demand, occupancy, and regulation in this increasingly important part of the real estate ecosystem.
2. Data-Backed View on Market Risk
   Through our operational footprint and data collection, we have a unique lens on macro‑real estate trends. Gregory’s contribution will draw on this data to assess whether a market correction is likely, where it might hit, and how property managers and investors should prepare.
3. Strategic Positioning for Resilience
   As a property management company, we are not observers, we are operators navigating volatility day to day. We believe that in times of potential correction, quality management, flexible leasing models, and proactive risk strategies become more valuable than ever.
