Market Research in the GCC
Real Estate & Development Market Research in the GCC
Global Markets delivers real estate and development research across the GCC, from gap analysis to tenant-mix and leasing strategy. As a GCC research and business-intelligence firm operating since 2010, with offices in Kuwait, Riyadh and Doha, we pair on-the-ground fieldwork with rigorous data cleaning and analysis to help developers and brands match the right space to the right demand across the Gulf.
What we research in real estate
Gap analysis to surface underserved commercial white spaces, tenant-mix planning, leasing strategy and lease-rate benchmarking, plus demand and supply benchmarking for malls, strips and towers across the GCC.
How we work
Every study pairs primary fieldwork with our data-cleaning and validation pipeline and bottom-up market modelling, so findings hold up to scrutiny. We can also run managed real-estate support — from site scouting and evaluation to expansion strategy — scoped to your specific development question.
Why Global Markets in real estate
We have benchmarked lease rates, tenant mixes and demand across all six GCC countries since 2010. We brief in Arabic and English and deliver decision-ready insight for developers, landlords and expanding brands.
How we help real-estate clients
We match the right tenants to the right space: Gap Analysis to uncover demand and commercial white spaces, Tenant-Mix Planning to optimise long-term viability and lease income, and Leasing Strategy built on lease-rate benchmarks and vacancy trends — in close collaboration with developer and design teams.
