Information

Here is a comprehensive overview of business registration, occupancy, and investment numbers in Dubai’s commercial sector.

Current Occupancy / Vacancy for Grade A Office in Dubai

From recent market reports:

• Grade A offices in Dubai are currently experiencing very high occupancy levels, typically around 95%.

• In key prime business districts (DIFC, Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, etc.), the occupancy often reaches 95‑98% for high‑spec, Grade A stock.

• More widely across Dubai for all office stock, city‑wide occupancy is somewhere in the low 90s percent. Grades B & C are lower but still strong.

• The vacancy rate is therefore relatively low for Grade A properties in these prime locations.

In summary, Grade A office space in prime locations in Dubai is highly occupied, with near full utilisation in many cases.

Residential Sector: Occupancy / Yields

For comparison, here are some highlights for the residential side:

• Residential occupancy in prime/popular residential areas is also high, often > 90%, particularly in established/freehold communities.

• Yields (gross) for residential apartments/studios vary: small units (studios / 1‑beds) tend to give higher yields, sometimes in the ~ 7–9% range in good or mid‑income areas; larger units/villas tend to have lower yields (4‑6%) because of higher acquisition costs.

Investment Comparison: Grade A Offices vs Residential

Here are the pros, cons, and “how they compare” between investing in Grade A offices vs residential in Dubai:

Net Yield / Risk‑Adjusted Return: What the Numbers Imply

Putting together the projections above, here’s how the investment return picture looks, roughly, for Grade A offices vs residential, and what to watch out for. These are estimates rather than precise figures, as much depends on location, tenant quality, financing, costs, and other factors.

How do the current occupancy rates in Grade A offices look, and how does this compare to prime residential areas in Dubai?

In summary, Grade A office space in prime locations in Dubai is very well-occupied, with near full utilisation in many cases.

Residential Sector: Occupancy / Yields

For comparison, here are some highlights for the residential side:

• Residential occupancy in prime/popular residential areas is also high, often > 90%, particularly in established/freehold communities.
• Yields (gross) for residential apartments/studios vary: small units (studios / 1‑beds) tend to give higher yields, sometimes in the  7–9% range in good or mid‑income areas; larger units/villas tend to have lower yields (4‑6%) because of higher acquisition costs.

Key Takeaways: Which Might Be Better, When?

• If you are seeking a higher yield and are comfortable with more concentrated risk, a high capital outlay, and potentially dealing with commercial leases and fit-outs, then Grade A offices in prime locations are highly attractive right now. The very high occupancy and rising rents make the cash flow side promising.
• If you prefer lower risk, easier tenant turnover, and possibly a smaller initial investment, then residential might be more appealing. It may yield lower returns (especially for larger units) but offer less volatility and more stable demand.
• Also, timing and location matter a lot: Grade A offices in prime nodes (DIFC, Sheikh Zayed Road, Business Bay) are doing much better (higher occupancy, higher rents) than offices in peripheral or older buildings. Similarly, residential in prime areas does well; less so in less desirable or oversupplied areas.
