Offices for Rent in JLT

Office rents in JLT depend on several factors including the tower, the size of the office, the floor number and view, and whether the office is fitted and ready for use or shell-and-core. Small fitted offices start from around AED 45,000 per year, while mid-sized fitted offices are available from AED 80,000 up to AED 160,000+, and full floors vary widely. As the live listings above indicate, office rents in JLT are generally more competitive than areas like Business Bay or DIFC.

Yes. Every building within JLT has its offices within the DMCC free zone. In order to lease office, retail, or commercial space within JLT, the business that wishes to lease the space must hold a DMCC trade licence. A licence obtained directly from the mainland of the UAE or from another free zone within the UAE will not permit an individual or company to rent within JLT. However, obtaining a DMCC trade licence will allow a company to fully take advantage of the benefits of the DMCC free zone, such as 100% foreign ownership and the ability for foreign companies to repatriate their profits from the UAE. At Al Ranim Properties we can help a company obtain or move its DMCC licence onto the registration under which it will rent space within JLT.

Yes. There are both fitted and shell-and-core offices available for rent in JLT. Fitted offices are ready to move into; shell-and-core offices are handed over in a bare state and companies will need to fit them out to their own specifications. Let us know which type of office you would prefer to rent and we can filter our listings to the relevant options.

Fitted offices come ready with office partitions, flooring, ceilings, and sometimes even IT installations in place. Shell-and-core office spaces are handed over in a bare minimum state, with companies needing to install the office fittings themselves. The decision between fitted and shell-and-core office spaces comes down to your budget, timeline and how bespoke you want the space.

Yes. JLT has its own dedicated metro station as well as a tram station close by, which will allow your employees to commute to work without requiring a car. Furthermore, JLT is located next to Sheikh Zayed Road, which provides excellent connections for clients and suppliers.

Compared to the more expensive business districts in Dubai, JLT offers generous parking allocations for both company cars and visitors. The number of allocated parking spaces varies between buildings at JLT, as does the number of visitor parking spaces nearby. We can confirm the allocations and visitor parking for any office that you are interested in.

It depends on a few factors. Some of the landmark towers have a recognised DMCC address and are better for companies trading in commodities. Other value towers offer fitted offices at a better price for smaller companies. Tell us what your business requires and we will show you the best towers for your company.

It depends on the specific tower. For some, cooling is included, whereas others will bill you for the chiller separately, which can be significant in Dubai's summers. Service charges may sit with the landlord or be passed on. Confirm both with the landlord before signing the lease.

There are three parties involved in a fit-out in JLT. DMCC, Stratum and Concordia are responsible for giving approval for fit-outs in the JLT towers. They will review the proposed fit-out, and only after giving approval will the contractor begin the build. This takes some time, so allow for it in your moving plan. Additionally, ensure your lease includes a clause covering reinstatement of the space when the company vacates. Our consultants can walk you through all three approvals.

It depends on the landlord. Some will ask for one cheque for the year's rent, while others will agree to two, four or even more cheques for the rent of the office in the JLT towers. This can make rent more manageable for the company. Let us know what you prefer and we can check with the landlords prior to viewing the available offices.

There are full floors available in the JLT towers for companies looking to take an entire floor in the buildings. The size of the floors, the ceiling height and the rental prices can vary between the different towers and floors. Our consultants can shortlist the buildings that would be best for your company based on your headcount.
