Dawn at O1NE District - Avenew

Dubai Motor City

Dawn at O1NE District by Avenew is introducing 70 Grade A office spaces in the first tower of a new commercial hub in Dubai Motor City. Developed by Avenew Development and Kora Properties, the project combines flexible office floors with a retail podium, landscaped communal areas and rooftop restaurants. Handover is expected in Q1 2030. Office sizes range from 1,963 to 5,479 sq ft, with prices starting at AED 1.5 million ($408,500). Although all units fall under the same commercial classification, the different layouts can accommodate companies of varying sizes, staffing requirements and workplace needs, including reception areas, meeting rooms and private offices. The payment structure requires 10% as a down payment, followed by 40% during construction and the remaining 50% upon handover. At the starting price, the initial 10% payment would be AED 150,000 ($40,800). Buyers should therefore plan for both the final payment in Q1 2030 and the additional cost of completing the office interior. The offices will be delivered shell and core, giving owners and tenants the freedom to design their workplaces according to their specific requirements. Spaces can be configured with open-plan work areas, executive offices, meeting rooms, technical areas and client-facing zones. The building's structural design and high floor-to-floor heights provide flexibility, while neighbouring units can be combined where appropriate. Outdoor space differs from one unit to another. Some offices are fully enclosed, while selected units feature balconies or terraces that add to the overall usable area. These outdoor spaces can be used for employee breaks, informal meetings or private company events. A large super lobby with concierge services and visitor seating creates the main entrance experience. Dedicated office elevators, smart parking systems and integrated security features are designed to support everyday operations. Shared washrooms are positioned outside individual offices, allowing tenants to maximise the space available for their own fit-out. The office floors are connected to the retail mall through an air-conditioned walkway. Landscaped podium areas, sky gardens, shaded seating and outdoor coworking spaces provide alternatives to traditional desk-based meetings. Two rooftop restaurants also offer convenient options for business lunches, client meetings and team gatherings. The wider O1NE District is planned as a mixed-use destination featuring six commercial towers, healthcare facilities, retail outlets, restaurants, wellness services and landscaped public spaces. Walkable connections will link the offices with the mall and surrounding amenities. As the district develops in phases, Dawn will be positioned as one of the early office buildings within the emerging business community. Dubai Motor City already offers a combination of residential and commercial facilities, including Uptown Motor City, Green Community Motor City, Dubai Autodrome, Business Park Motor City and local retail. This allows employees to work closer to established residential areas instead of relying exclusively on central Dubai business districts. Nearby Dubai Sports City and Dubai Studio City further expand the surrounding residential and employment catchment. This location may be particularly suitable for businesses whose employees, clients or suppliers are concentrated in Dubai's western and southern areas. Everyday amenities include First Avenue Mall, Spinneys, Carrefour, Waitrose, cafés and restaurants. Schools and healthcare facilities are also available nearby, including GEMS Metropole School, nurseries, Medcare Medical Centre, Prime Medical Center and Emirates Hospital Day Surgery. Dubai Autodrome and Dubai Sports City are approximately five minutes away by car. Downtown Dubai and Palm Jumeirah can be reached in around 25 minutes, while both Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai International Airport are approximately 30 minutes away, depending on traffic. Motor City is connected to the wider road network through Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Hessa Street and Al Khail Road. There is currently no direct metro station in the area, although F37 buses serve locations around Dubai Autodrome and Business Park. As a result, parking availability and employee transportation should be considered when evaluating the property. Because the units are delivered shell and core, buyers should also account for the cost of fitting out the workplace. Expenses may include partitions, flooring, ceilings, mechanical modifications, IT systems and furniture. While this requires additional capital, a customised workplace can better suit a company's operations and may reduce the need for frequent relocation. Overall, Dawn offers the opportunity to acquire a Grade A office within an established residential community and a larger commercial district that is still undergoing expansion. Before purchasing, investors should carefully compare the expected rental income with fit-out expenses, service charges, parking availability, the practical efficiency of the chosen unit and the amount of competing office space expected to become available by the time the project is completed. Dubai's strong office market has been supported by high occupancy and limited availability of modern Grade A space. During Q1 2026, average office rents across the city increased by approximately 14% year on year, while prime office rents grew by around 16%. Modern developments outside the traditional business centres could continue to attract companies looking for high-quality offices closer to where their employees live.
