BlackBrick Property marks five years in Dubai with the launch of its International Collection

Dubai, 9 November 2026: BlackBrick Property is marking five years in Dubai with the launch of its International Collection, a curated selection of properties from markets around the world. Part of the Group’s strategic ambitions since inception, the collection marks a new chapter for BlackBrick as it expands its reach beyond the UAE.

The International Collection gives clients access to global opportunities directly from owners or family offices. It also opens up an international client base for owners of Dubai properties.

Six markets, each property chosen by hand

The initial collection spans established and emerging destinations, with opportunities in Spain, Australia, Sri Lanka, France, the United States and Thailand. Each property has been selected individually by the BlackBrick team.

According to the company, the launch reflects the increasingly international outlook of its client base and a growing appetite among investors to diversify their property holdings across multiple markets. Rather than representing a shift away from Dubai, the expansion builds on the strength of BlackBrick’s UAE business, extending the same human-centric approach and independent advice to clients looking beyond the region.

“Dubai gave us the foundation”

Matthew Bate, CEO and Founder of BlackBrick Property, said: “When I founded BlackBrick in Dubai, I always saw the potential to build relationships and opportunities beyond one market. Dubai gave us the foundation, a clear approach to advisory, a strong network and clients whose lives and interests already cross borders. Five years on, the International Collection is a meaningful milestone in that journey. It allows us to bring the same care and judgement to a considered selection of properties around the world and marks an exciting step in the next chapter of BlackBrick.”

Diversification leads investor conversations

Bate said diversification is the theme defining conversations with investors as the market moves into the final quarter of the year:

“If there is one theme defining conversations with investors as we move into Q4 2026, it is diversification. Our clients are increasingly thinking globally. They may have significant exposure to Dubai and the UAE and remain very confident in the market, but they are also looking at where else they can deploy capital, diversify their portfolios or own homes that serve a lifestyle purpose as well as an investment one.”

From Spain and Thailand to the United States, there are compelling opportunities in very different markets. Our role is not to present everything, but to identify exceptional properties and opportunities that we genuinely believe are worth putting in front of our clients. I’m incredibly excited to take BlackBrick onto an international stage while continuing to grow the business we have built here in Dubai.”

Built on Dubai’s premium villa communities

Since launching in Dubai five years ago, BlackBrick has established itself as an independent, relationship-led property advisory, with particular strength across the city’s premium villa communities such as Al Barari, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Golf Estates. Its approach extends beyond individual transactions, advising buyers, sellers and investors on long-term value, lifestyle requirements and wider market context.

Selective by design

The international business will keep the same highly selective approach. Rather than building a volume-led international listings platform, BlackBrick will focus on a considered collection of properties and opportunities where it has direct access to the owner or exclusive representative.
