Commercial
We advise occupiers and investors on offices, retail and commercial assets — from single units to portfolios.
Offices, retail and investment assets.
Dubai's commercial market spans free-zone and mainland offices, retail units, warehouses and income-producing investment assets — each with its own licensing, ownership and yield profile. We advise both occupiers looking for the right space and investors seeking income, bringing the market data and negotiation experience to secure terms that work in your favour.
For occupiers, the choice between free-zone and mainland has real consequences for your trade licence, visa allocation and where you can do business. We help you navigate that decision, then shortlist and inspect suitable space and negotiate the lease — including rent-free periods, fit-out contributions and break clauses.
For investors, commercial assets in Dubai often deliver higher yields than residential, though returns depend heavily on location, tenant covenant and lease length. We source income-producing opportunities, run the due diligence and manage the transaction — from single units to multi-asset portfolios.
What's included
How it works
Common questions
Yes. We advise across both free-zone and mainland options based on your licensing, ownership and operational needs. Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership and sector clustering, while mainland gives you the broadest scope to trade across the UAE market.
Commercial yields are often higher than residential, but they vary widely with location, tenant quality and lease length. A well-let unit with a strong tenant on a long lease is valued very differently from a vacant or short-let space.
Yes. We support everything from a single office or retail acquisition through to multi-asset portfolio strategy, sourcing and ongoing management.
Depending on market conditions, we commonly negotiate rent-free fit-out periods, landlord fit-out contributions, stepped rents, and break clauses. The right package depends on your covenant strength and lease length.
Yes, foreign investors can own commercial property in designated freehold areas, and free zones allow full foreign ownership of businesses. We confirm the ownership structure available for each specific asset.
