Business growth as a structural demand driver.
 

Dubai’s commercial real estate performance continues to be underpinned by sustained business formation and economic expansion. The UAE’s ambitious growth strategy reflects confidence in the country’s pro-business environment, underlined by a national target of two million registered companies by 2035. Since the introduction of full foreign ownership for commercial businesses in September 2021, approximately 760,000 new companies have been established nationwide, with around 250,000 launching operations in 2025 alone. This growth means more companies need office space. That creates consistent demand for both office sales and rentals, especially in well located, high quality buildings that match how modern businesses want to work and position themselves.
