by BloombergDubai-based Limitless World plans to hire financial and legal advisers for the developer’s third restructuring as the on-going property slump is set to worsen.

Home prices in the UAE have declined by as much as a third over the past two years. S&P Global said that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could push prices back down to 2010 levels as unemployment across key sectors such as tourism and retail weighs on demand.

The company reached a second deal with creditors in 2016 to repay a $1.2 billion Islamic loan before 2018.
