Super high ceilings, security services, and near to expatriates’ schools are the common services offered by high-end properties targeting the foreign investors. Expatriates would be more attracted and comfortable if the residential rights and special immigration policies are not too strict. This will also contribute to the demand for high-end properties on a certain country.
