BlackBrick Property has marked five years in Dubai with the launch of an international property offering, the company said on 9 November 2026.
Founded in Dubai in 2021 by CEO and founder Matthew Bate, BlackBrick describes the new International Collection as a curated set of properties across multiple countries. The firm said the offering is intended to extend its advisory reach beyond the UAE while keeping what it calls a “human-centric” approach focused on selective, independent advice.
The company said the International Collection is designed to provide clients with access to global opportunities “directly from owners or family offices,” while also bringing an international client base to owners of Dubai properties.
BlackBrick said the initiative reflects what it describes as an increasingly international outlook among its clients and a growing desire to diversify property holdings across different markets.
The initial collection, according to the company, includes properties and opportunities in Spain, Australia, Sri Lanka, France, the United States, and Thailand. BlackBrick said each property is selected individually by the BlackBrick team.
CEO links expansion to global diversification
In a statement, Matthew Bate said the International Collection builds on relationships and opportunities that extend beyond one market, adding that Dubai provided the advisory foundation, network and client base for cross-border interests.
He also said that, as BlackBrick moves into Q4 2026, diversification is a key theme in discussions with investors. Bate said clients may have significant exposure to Dubai and the UAE while also looking at where else they can deploy capital or own homes with both lifestyle and investment considerations.
Selectivity over volume, company says
BlackBrick stated that its international expansion will retain a selective approach. The company said it will not position the offering as a volume-led international listings platform. Instead, it plans to focus on opportunities where it has direct access to owners or an exclusive representative.
The firm said that since launching in Dubai, it has built an independent, relationship-led advisory business, with particular strength in premium villa communities such as Al Barari, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Golf Estates. BlackBrick said its local advisory work covers buyers, sellers and investors and considers long-term value, lifestyle requirements and wider market context.
In its announcement, BlackBrick reiterated that the International Collection is intended to support the next stage of strategic growth for the group while continuing to develop its Dubai business.
