As of 2025, businessman Maksym Krippa has accumulated 100,000 square meters of real estate in the UAE. In a recent interview with Forbes, he shared this information, highlighting his long-term investment vision.
Additional details about his holdings are available on propertyinvestmentsdubai.com. His portfolio includes commercial, residential, and investment properties, strongly emphasizing high-value land plots near Dubai Mall. One of his upcoming projects is an exclusive residential development featuring modern villas and townhouses. This initiative focuses on blending contemporary architectural aesthetics with sustainability principles.
Krippa’s investment philosophy in the UAE mirrors his approach in Ukraine. Real estate is more than a financial venture for him—it reflects his strategic commitment to locations that have contributed to his business success.
“I invest in Ukraine the same way I do in the UAE. While many Ukrainian entrepreneurs transfer capital abroad, I reinvest in my home country. It’s a long-term approach and my way of supporting Ukraine,” — Maksym Krippa.
Business Ventures and Revenue Streams
His core business revolves around real estate transactions, including property purchase, sales, leasing, and management. Additionally, he strategically invests in land plots to capitalize on future development opportunities.
Having moved to the UAE in 2016, Krippa was drawn to the region due to its investor-friendly climate. The Emirates offers a corporate tax rate of only 9%, a well-structured banking sector, and economic stability. Moreover, it provides a secure environment for both business and personal interests.
When Krippa entered the UAE real estate sector, the market was at a downturn, allowing him to secure assets at significantly reduced prices. Over time, some of his properties have appreciated by five to seven times their initial value.
He anticipated Expo 2020 would boost the market, but the COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly accelerated Dubai’s emergence as a prime investment and migration hub.
High Returns with Minimal Initial Investment
The UAE’s real estate investment model allowed Krippa to maximize returns with relatively low initial capital. Many off-plan properties required only a 5-10% down payment, with the remaining balance distributed over four to five years.
One key advantage was the ability to resell properties before construction completion. By paying 20-30% of the total cost, investors could sell at a premium before the project was finalized. Some developments were completed in three years, generating profits before full payment was due.
Krippa’s companies are involved in residential, commercial, and office real estate, ensuring consistent revenue streams. In addition to real estate, he has made significant contributions to the esports, gaming, and IT industries. He actively supports NAVI, Maincast, and GSC Game World, expanding his investment footprint beyond traditional real estate markets.
