Delay in Construction: If there are some delays in construction due to bad weather or insufficient construction material, it could impact the brand’s ability to meet the deadlines.
Changes in Market Demand: If the demand for Nakheel’s properties drops, then the company will not be able to sell properties according to their selected prices, which will highly impact the company’s revenue.
Political Disturbance & Legal Challenges: Due to Nakheel, many foreign investors are able to invest in properties, but if there is any political disturbance in certain regions, investors will lose their interest, which results in a decline in investment. Moreover, Nakheel may also face some legal challenges from local authorities, as well as from building codes and permitting issues.
