business center office space in business bay — *a fully furnished ready-to-move-in office space might just be what your business needs.*

It isn’t just Dubai’s skyline that’s rising… the costs of building out a workspace are too. For startups and growing businesses, the choice between leasing an empty commercial space and moving into a ready-to-use, fully furnished workspace could mean the difference between long-term growth and budget burnout.

Let’s break it down.

the true cost of renting an office in dubai

Renting a shell-and-core commercial office might seem like a smart investment. You get the square footage, the location, and full creative control. However, there’s a hidden cost: you’re starting from scratch, which can be costly and overwhelming.

some costs to consider:

office rent (dubai average)
according to savills, grade a offices across key areas, such as business bay, difc, and sheikh zayed road, range between AED 150–400/ft²/year.

you also need to factor in the time spent hitting the road looking for an office space, paying brokers, etc.
fit-out & furniture
1. fit-out approvals (landlord, municipality (when applicable))
2. basic fit-out (flooring, wiring) or premium turnkey fit-out
3. custom-made furniture sourcing, manufacturing, and delivery
service charges, utilities & maintenance
1. service charges
2. utilities (dewa, chiller)
3. cleaning & maintenance

that’s a hefty startup cost for any business.
