The district offers excellent connectivity via the Business Bay metro station and direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road.
Offices in JLT and DMCC
Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) offers the best value-for-money office stock in Dubai. The DMCC free zone, repeatedly voted the world's best free zone, is based here, making JLT especially popular with international trading and commodities firms.
Office units start from AED 350,000 for a unit of around 700 square feet. Prices per square foot range from AED 500 to AED 900. Rental yields in JLT are among the highest for offices in Dubai: 8–10% net.
The proximity of Dubai Marina, good metro connections and the district's extensive dining and retail amenities make JLT attractive to employees and visitors alike.
Offices in DIFC and Downtown
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is the undisputed premium location for financial services firms, legal practices and international corporates. The DIFC operates under its own common-law-based regulatory framework and has its own judiciary, the DIFC Courts.
Offices in Gate Village, Index Tower and ICD Brookfield Place start from AED 2,000 per square foot. Yields are lower (6–7% net), but capital appreciation and prestige compensate for this.
