About BME
Navigating the UAE property market as an expat or investor can be complex. It takes more than information, it takes independent guidance, deep local insight, and access to the right people at the right time.
That’s why I founded BME Project Management Services (Blom Middle East): not as a brokerage or one-size-fits-all agency, but as an independent advisory platform.
I draw on my own years of successful and unsuccessful real estate investments in Dubai and activate a trusted ecosystem of legal, financial, and real estate professionals, selecting partners based on your specific needs.
Why work with me?
Whether you're buying a home, relocating to the UAE, making your first investment, or expanding an existing portfolio, I’m here to help you navigate the market with integrity, clear advice, and a focus on long-term results.
Investment Philosophy
Over the years, through my own investments and by closely observing what drives long-term success for others, I’ve developed a clear investment philosophy rooted in four core principles: Scarcity, Quality, Competitive Pricing, and Amenities. These pillars guide every assessment I make, whether for my own portfolio or when advising clients.
Why Invest in Dubai?
A tax-free, high-yield gateway to the world’s fastest-growing investment hub.
Visionary, Stable Leadership Dubai’s transformation is the result of decades of consistent, forward-looking governance. From smart infrastructure to economic diversification, its leadership has created a stable and business-friendly environment—positioning Dubai as a modern safe haven, now standing alongside Geneva and Singapore as a trusted base for wealth, investment, and global mobility.
A Growing Economy in a Dynamic Region The UAE is part of the fast-growing Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, with strong fundamentals, high investment in infrastructure, and ambitious long-term development plans (D33 Agenda, Vision 2030). This macroeconomic momentum supports long-term real estate demand and investor confidence.
High Rental Yields Dubai consistently offers gross rental yields between 5% and 8%, well above most European markets. Combined with low vacancy rates and a growing tenant base, this makes for strong income potential.
Zero Tax on Property Income There is no tax on rental income, capital gains, or personal income in the UAE—allowing investors to retain more of their returns.
World-Class Lifestyle, Sunshine & Safety Dubai offers an exceptional quality of life—year-round sunshine, access to beaches, marinas, international schools, world-class healthcare, luxury retail, and fine dining. Just as importantly, the city is known for its personal safety, low crime rates, and efficient infrastructure, making it one of the most secure and livable global cities for residents and families alike.
Strategic Global Location Situated between Europe, Asia, and Africa, Dubai is a global hub with world-class infrastructure and two major international airports.
Proven Track Record of Growth From the early days of The Palm and Burj Khalifa to today’s new coastlines, islands, and smart communities—Dubai continues to reinvent itself while offering resilience and capital appreciation.
A Safe Haven in an
Uncertain World
In an era of rising taxes, regulatory uncertainty, and global instability, Dubai stands out as a reliable base for personal and financial growth. With 0% tax, a secure legal system, and bold long-term planning, the city continues to attract investors, families, and entrepreneurs alike.

Meet Alexander Blom
Founder, BME Project Management Services
I’ve lived and worked in Dubai since 2008, long enough to witness this city’s extraordinary evolution from the pre-Burj Khalifa days to today’s globally connected metropolis. What began as a professional relocation has grown into a deeply rooted personal and business life here in the Emirates. Over the years, we’ve also made several personal real estate investments in Dubai, including off-plan properties in Dubai Hills, Canal Front, Dubai Islands, Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), and Sobha Hartland 2. These experiences, with all the hunger, excitement, and learning curves they brought, have helped shape my understanding of the local market from the inside out. Professionally, I hold a Master’s degree in Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam and started my career in insurance at Marsh in the Netherlands. That role eventually brought me to Dubai to lead their specialty practices for the region. Over the years, I worked for Marsh, AIG, Howden, and Viva Insurance in Dubai, building expertise in underwriting risk and navigating complex environments. In 2024, I made a full shift into real estate and business advisory, launching BME Project Management Services (Blom Middle East). Through this platform, I help people and companies access and navigate the UAE market with a focus on real estate, relocation, and strategic partnerships. My approach is personal, pragmatic, and built on trust. I leverage nearly two decades of local experience and a strong network to deliver tailored solutions that save time, reduce complexity, and support long-term value creation. I’m proud to collaborate with Driven Properties, MSV Estates, as well as respected legal and operational partners like Davidson & Co, Fichte & Co Legal, and Aligned Services. When it comes to investing in Dubai real estate, for myself or for clients, I stick to four simple but proven rules: scarcity, quality, competitive pricing, and amenities. These principles have guided my own off-plan investments over the years, and I continue to apply them when advising others. On the Substack platform I share insights, opportunities, and reflections, from investment strategies to the human side of relocating and living in the UAE. No hype, just grounded advice and real stories from someone who has been here, built here, and continues to grow here. When I’m not working, I love home cooking, reading novels or biographies, kundalini yoga, golf, and open water swimming. I’ll also do the occasional ice bath if the mood strikes. One of my favorite Dubai places to catch up with friends or business associates is the Keyani Wellness Centre, a quiet spot with nourishing food and an atmosphere that invites meaningful conversation. If you’re considering a move to Dubai or exploring how to align your capital with what this region has to offer, I’m here to help you approach it thoughtfully and profitably. Long live the UAE!
