Andrew Cummings
Spear’s Review
Andrew Cummings, head of prime residential at Knight Frank Middle East, has led the firm’s expansion in the region.
He has overseen the sale of many properties in some of Dubai’s most expensive developments such as Emirates Hills, the Palm Jumeirah and Downtown, two of which tipped over the AED100m mark.
Prior to building a career in real estate, Cummings worked as a government adviser. He turned to property in 2017 and has since seen a dramatic uptake in the sale of prime properties.
‘People always talk about no income tax when they talk of Dubai, but in some ways that financial motive is a bit outdated,’ he says. ‘It’s the overall lifestyle here that is the real draw these days. Dubai has the best security, schools, transport, medical care, restaurants, hotels — and most of the year the best weather.’
