Market conditions

Published market rates, 2026. Outside DIFC this is currently a tenant's market: rent-free periods of three to six months are standard and extend to twelve on leases above 10,000 sq ft, and Business Bay landlords have been offering AED 150–300 per sq ft toward fit-out. Ask for both — they are negotiable and rarely volunteered.

Getting there

Between the city and the airport, well served by road. Suburban and car-dependent.

Suits

Businesses serving a local residential catchment within a few kilometres.

Avoid if

Anything needing an address that impresses. It does not, and for most of its tenants that is irrelevant.

Licensing route

ADDED mainland licence with registered tenancy.

What an agent will not tell you. Cheap premises and a big captive residential catchment. Not an address that impresses anyone, which is irrelevant for a business whose customers live within two kilometres.
