Guide

Everything you should know about renting an office in Deira

Renting an office in Deira

Deira is Dubai's historic commercial district and is home to banks, wholesalers, agencies and companies involved in the trade of Dubai's goods. It is located in an area accessed by metro or abra services, with the ports and Dubai International Airport close to the district, and its rental costs are comparatively low against the costs of Dubai's newer business districts. Units in the district range from compact units in older buildings to fitted suites in newer commercial towers.

Who should lease an office in Deira?

Given its location in the district, many of the companies that operate here are those that trade goods from the souks and ports of Dubai, as well as companies like agencies, clinics and consultancies. The area features both older and newer buildings, meaning that a wide range of budgets and fit-out specifications are covered.

Average office rents in Deira

Smaller units in the older buildings start from around AED 25,000 per year, while fitted offices start from around AED 45,000 per year. Larger fitted offices and full floors in newer commercial towers are priced on the size, the floor and the building. The building age, the fit-out and parking move the figure most, and the live listings above show what is currently available.

Fitted vs bare office space in Deira

Fitted offices are those that have internal partitions, flooring and fixtures in place and ready for occupants to move into the office. Bare office spaces typically cost less, allowing the company to fit out the office to their own specifications.

Older buildings vs newer towers

Older buildings in Deira are some of the most affordable in the district, with rents that are low compared to newer commercial towers. The older buildings may have dated lifts, parking areas and finishes. The newer commercial towers, however, have more modern amenities and features, such as better parking areas and a more corporate office address.

Parking and access in Deira

Parking can be an important consideration when leasing in Deira, with some buildings featuring on-site parking and others that do not. Newer buildings typically offer more on-site and visitor parking than the older buildings. In addition, if a company moves and stores goods in and out of the office, it may be important for the building to permit such loading and unloading of goods.

Trade licence and permitted activity

It is also important to confirm that the building permits the type of business that is featured on the trade licence for the company. Our consultants are aware of the types of businesses that are permitted in each of the buildings in Deira, and can assist in finding a unit for your company that meets the requirements of its trade licence.

How Al Ranim Properties helps businesses lease in Deira

By providing your budget, the size of office you require, the area of Deira that you prefer and the type of business that you operate according to your trade licence, our consultants can begin to shortlist offices for you in the district. We will also inform you of what the buildings permit according to your trade licence and arrange viewings of the buildings that suit your company around your schedule.
