Dubai Off-Plan Office Sales Hit Record AED 13.1 Billion in First Half of 2026
Off-plan office sales in Dubai surged to a record AED 13.1 billion during the first half of 2026, exceeding the total value recorded over the previous seven years combined, according to Al Masdar Real Estate.
The sharp increase reflects growing investor demand for commercial real estate in Dubai, supported by strong business expansion, rising demand for premium office space, and continued confidence in the emirate’s property market.
Al Masdar Real Estate said the performance marks a major shift in Dubai’s office market, as investors increasingly turn to off-plan commercial assets amid limited supply of ready office units and rising occupancy levels across key business districts.
The company noted that the record sales volume highlights Dubai’s growing appeal as a regional and global business hub, particularly as multinational companies, startups, and professional services firms continue to expand their presence in the emirate.
Analysts say the momentum in off-plan office sales is being driven by strong demand for Grade-A commercial space, attractive payment plans offered by developers, and expectations of sustained rental growth in prime locations.
The first-half performance also underscores the broader strength of Dubai’s real estate sector, where commercial property is increasingly gaining investor attention alongside the residential market.
Al Masdar Real Estate added that continued economic growth, pro-business policies, and Dubai’s ability to attract global companies are expected to support further demand for office developments over the coming period.
