A Vibrant Sector

From offices and retail spaces to full buildings, warehouses, and plots of land, Dubai offers a wide variety of commercial options in prime locations such as:

  • Downtown Dubai
  • Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)
  • Business Bay
  • Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT)
  • Sheikh Zayed Road

Each area serves a different type of business, making it essential to choose based on your industry, goals, and budget.

What You Need to Know

Dubai’s commercial property market is divided into two zones:

  • Free Zone Properties → Allow 100% foreign ownership, plus benefits like customs and tax exemptions.
  • Mainland Properties → Popular with private organisations, offering the flexibility to trade anywhere in the UAE without restrictions.

Selecting the right zone depends on your business model. Working with our Luxe Homes Commercial Consultants ensures you understand every regulation and make informed, strategic decisions.

Buying the Perfect Space

Purchasing a commercial property in Dubai is not the same as buying a home. You’ll need:

  • Company documents
  • Business setup fees
  • Relevant licences (depending on the zone)

For a cost-effective option, many businesses prefer Free Zones, which often provide additional support such as:

  • Visa applications
  • Opening corporate bank accounts
  • Advisory on business setup and compliance

Free Zone licence categories include professional, commercial, industrial, and tourism – our team will guide you based on your business profile and long-term vision.

Leasing a Commercial Property

If you’re expanding or setting up a business, leasing commercial real estate can be a flexible choice. Requirements vary depending on industry (retail, offices, warehouses, hospitality, etc.), and documentation depends on whether the property is in Mainland or a Free Zone.

  • Free Zone licences → Some can be obtained within 24 hours, while others may take 2–8 months.
  • Mainland licences → Typically processed within 3 working days to 1 month.

Our Luxe Homes consultants will walk you through the leasing process, ensuring your business gets the right property with minimal hassle.
