Dubai commercial property sales jumped 79.3 per cent to $4.2bn in 2025, highlighting strong economic momentum and investor confidence

The Dubai commercial real estate market recorded a sharp rise in transaction activity in 2025, underlining sustained economic momentum and growing confidence among regional and international investors.
Strong Demand Across Offices and Retail
Industry experts say the sharp rise in commercial sales points to a deeper structural shift in the market — increasingly driven by real business activity rather than short-term speculation. Badar Rashid AlBlooshi, Chairman of Arabian Gulf Properties, emphasised that the sector’s performance is a clear indicator of Dubai’s economic maturity and global appeal.
“Demand for office and retail assets confirms Dubai’s position as a preferred destination for global businesses seeking stability, connectivity, and long-term growth,” AlBlooshi noted, attributing the momentum to economic diversification, population growth and the emirate’s role as a regional headquarters hub.
What’s Driving the Growth?
Several factors are contributing to the commercial real estate upswing:
- Economic fundamentals: Dubai’s continued diversification beyond hydrocarbons has strengthened its position as a global business centre.
- Investor confidence: Strong legal frameworks, transparency and infrastructure investment are attracting both regional and international capital.
- Business growth: Expansion of professional services, technology firms, regional headquarters and retail operators is boosting demand for income-producing assets.
Analysts highlight that commercial properties — particularly offices — are no longer niche investments in Dubai; they are becoming core components of diversified real estate portfolios, yielding stable returns and long-term growth potential.
Commercial Sector’s Role in Dubai’s Property Boom
The commercial sector’s strong showing comes amid a broader boom across Dubai’s property market. Residential and mixed-use segments also posted robust sales figures throughout 2025, contributing to record-breaking overall transaction values for the year.
With continued investment in infrastructure, regulatory support and international business confidence, Dubai’s commercial real estate market looks poised to build on 2025’s momentum — reinforcing the emirate’s status as a leading global destination for both business and property investment.
