Why occupiers choose Business Bay
Road and rail
Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road run along the district, and Business Bay Metro Station connects it to the Red Line.
Life around the office
Hotels, restaurants, retail and the Dubai Water Canal promenade sit within the district, which helps firms attract and keep staff.
Freehold ownership
Business Bay is a designated freehold area, so foreign nationals and overseas companies can own office space outright.
A district built for business
Business Bay was planned as Dubai's central business district and has matured into a mixed-use neighbourhood of office towers, hotels and residences along the Dubai Water Canal. International firms, financial services businesses and professional services organisations have chosen it for more than a decade.
That demand shows in the rents. Business Bay Grade A asking rents moved from around AED 160 per sq ft in early 2024 to more than AED 190 by mid 2026, and Grade A vacancy across Business Bay, DIFC and Downtown has been below 5%. More on the numbers is on the Dubai office market page.
