Dubai Commercial Property Sales Surge in Q2 2025: A Closer Look at the Market Boom

Dubai’s commercial real estate market has really picked up in the second quarter of 2025, bringing good news for investors and business owners alike. According to CRC Property, sales reached AED 31 billion, a remarkable 50% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth reflects the confidence people have in Dubai’s future and the opportunities waiting here.

Office Space Demand Drives Market Growth

The office segment led this growth, generating AED 2.62 billion in sales, which is a 93% increase from Q2 2024. Off-plan office sales contributed significantly, with developments like Omniyat’s Lumena Tower in Business Bay launching during the quarter. 

Business Bay and Jumeirah Lake Towers remained the most active areas, while Motor City and Barsha Heights showed increased activity.

Off-Plan Projects Gain Traction

The success of off-plan commercial projects shows a maturing buyer mindset. Long-term occupiers and institutional investors are committing to spaces that meet future needs, not just current demand.

Industrial Sector Sees Significant Growth

Warehouse sale prices averaged AED 22.2 million, up 107 percent from Q2 2024. This rise is due to limited supply and strong demand for facilities in Dubai Industrial City, DIP, and JAFZA.

Leasing Market Experiences Strong Demand

Leasing deals rose 30% quarter-on-quarter, with office leasing prices averaging AED 480,768, a 95 percent increase year-on-year. This increase reflects strong demand for fitted office spaces in strategic locations.

Factors Driving the Surge

• Investor confidence remains high thanks to a stable economic environment and favorable policies.
• The availability of high-quality Grade A office and industrial assets attracts both local and international investors.
• Strategic locations like Business Bay, Jumeirah Lake Towers, and Dubai Industrial City offer prime business hubs.

Looking Ahead

Dubai’s commercial real estate market is set for continued growth. Alongside strong demand across office, industrial, off-plan, and residential property sectors, there are plenty of opportunities for investors and businesses looking to buy property in this dynamic market.
