Commercial Property for Sale in Dubai

Dubai is a city of opportunities, technological progress, luxury, and comfort. Once a desert region, it now attracts investment from all over the world. UAE legislation allows not only citizens but also foreign investors to purchase real estate and earn income from it.

Residential real estate is highly popular among investors, but commercial real estate in Dubai can generate significantly higher returns. High profitability and an ROI of 4 to 8% per year make it possible to earn in this sector even by renting out premises. In addition, it is possible to run your own business in the UAE independently.

For the most comfortable business development in Dubai for foreigners, more than 50 free economic zones have been created. They cover a wide range of industries:

• medicine;
• natural resources;
• logistics;
• education;
• production;
• trade;
• services;
• and much more.

Working in a free economic zone allows an investor to own 100% of the business, provides the opportunity to obtain residence visas for the investor, family members, and all employees, guarantees the repatriation of capital and profits, exempts from corporate and personal taxation (with the exception of 5% VAT in some cases), as well as from customs duties on the import and export of goods, and provides access to modern infrastructure.

The purpose of such zones for the UAE is to encourage external investment in business development. For investors, this is a great opportunity to earn in a rapidly developing country.

Types of commercial real estate in Dubai

Commercial real estate in Dubai is in high demand. Most often, premises are sold that can be used for the following needs:

• beauty salons;
• exhibition centers and showrooms;
• hotels;
• shops;
• cafes and restaurants;
• offices;
• coworking spaces;
• warehouses;
• land;
• other premises.

Regardless of the type of commercial property selected for purchase in Dubai, there are various options for its use. An investor can buy a unit at the construction stage and rent it out after completion. It is also possible to start your own business from scratch in the acquired premises or purchase a ready-made turnkey business.

Commercial properties for sale in Dubai may be area-specific. For example, warehouses and production facilities cannot be located in the city’s tourist areas. As for retail units or offices, there are no restrictions on location.

Dubai Commercial Property Prices

Commercial real estate in the UAE—and Dubai in particular—covers a wide price range. The cost of premises is affected by the size, location, condition, and intended use.

For example, a small shop of about 150 square meters can be purchased for $400,000–$500,000. A small office of 30 square meters in Dubai can be found for $80,000–$90,000, while a larger, similar office of around 2,000 square meters will cost $5.5–$6 million.

Prices for commercial real estate are constantly rising, due not only to the development of the city but also to high demand for such properties. In new developments, most companies prioritize residential real estate.
