Every shortcut above leads to a live shortlist with photos, exact areas and monthly totals in dollars and dirhams — rented directly from owners and operators, with no agent fees for tenants.

The catalogue groups its buildings into the areas below; the numbers are counted from the listings on this site and update with them. The median is the middle monthly rent of the offices in that area.
The listing covers the towers people actually search for by name — Empire Heights Tower B, DAMAC Smart Heights, Boulevard Plaza 1 and 2, Al Habtoor Business Tower, Al Salam Tecom Tower, Al Barsha Business Centre. Deira and Bur Dubai hold the most buildings, followed by Sheikh Zayed Road and Business Bay. In the old town, the Dubai Chamber building on Baniyas Street and Dubai Festival City are the addresses searched by name; the free zones are represented by DMCC offices in Jumeirah Lake Towers and offices in Jebel Ali and JAFZA.
The catalogue lists 1,006 private offices — rooms and suites with their own door, from 5 m² to 1,654 m². Size is the simplest way to choose:
The second choice is the licence: an address in a free zone (DMCC in JLT, DIFC, JAFZA, IFZA, Dubai Silicon Oasis) goes with a free-zone licence, while a mainland address (Deira, Bur Dubai, Business Bay, Sheikh Zayed Road) goes with a mainland one. Check which applies on the building page before you shortlist it.
Private offices in these listings ask AED 1,150 ($313)–AED 1,706 ($465) per m² a year for the middle half of the market, with a median of AED 1,281 ($349). The cheapest office starts at AED 477 ($130) a month. By area, the median monthly rent is AED 2,750 in Al Qusais, AED 7,712 in Deira and Bur Dubai, AED 5,472 in Al Barsha and Media City, AED 8,704 in Business Bay and AED 8,814 in Downtown and DIFC. Commercial rent in the UAE carries 5% VAT on top of the asking price.
101 of the 144 buildings sit within 900 m of a metro station — walking distance in practice, which matters more in Dubai than in most cities. The Red Line covers 34 of the stations on our map and the Green Line 20. Each building card shows the nearest stations and the walk in minutes.
Every unit shows floor area, floor number, asking rent per m² a year and the monthly total. Where an owner has not published a rate, the card says so rather than showing a guess.
Dubai runs on its Metro: 42 stations put 120 of our 126 business centres within a short walk, on the Red line (35 stations, Sheikh Zayed Road — Downtown — Expo) and the Green line (21 stations, Deira and Bur Dubai). The busiest office clusters sit around Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall (28 centres), Business Bay (27 centres), Al Rigga (24 centres), Financial Centre (23 centres).
An office near the Metro cuts commutes and makes interviews, client visits and daily logistics easier — and unlike car-first locations you save on parking spaces. Pick a station above to compare private offices, coworking desks and serviced suites within walking distance, each listing with photos, exact floor areas and real monthly prices in dollars and dirhams.

Business centres in Dubai Media City and Barsha HeightsThe corridor that runs from Dubai Media City through Internet City into Barsha Heights is the city's tech and media quarter: broadcasters…The citywide average asking rent is around AED 190 per sq ft per year, up roughly 22% over the past year. Prime districts such as DIFC and Downtown run around AED 200–450, Business Bay around AED 100–260, Sheikh Zayed Road around AED 110–300, and the free zones of JLT and Dubai Internet City around AED 80–240. Older space in Deira starts near AED 40. Coworking desks are priced from around AED 969 per person per month and serviced suites from about AED 975.
DIFC and Downtown offer the most prestigious Grade A addresses, ideal for finance, law, and multinationals. Business Bay balances a central location with a wide range of price points, Sheikh Zayed Road offers visibility and metro access, and the free zones of JLT and Dubai Internet City suit trading, tech, and media companies seeking value. Deira and Bur Dubai offer the most affordable space.
A free-zone office (DIFC, DMCC, Dubai Internet City) offers 100% foreign ownership and long-term tax guarantees, but generally limits trade to within the zone and internationally. A mainland office (Downtown, Sheikh Zayed Road, Business Bay) lets you trade directly in the local UAE market under a DED licence, with the tenancy registered through Ejari. The right choice depends on your customers and licensing needs.
Serviced suites and coworking spaces are generally furnished and ready to use, often within days, and can be the fastest route to a licensed address. A traditionally leased unit — frequently handed over as shell and core — takes more time for fit-out, usually from a few weeks to several months.
Coworking and serviced suites suit startups, small teams, and anyone seeking flexibility without a long-term commitment. A traditional lease makes sense for established companies with a stable footprint that need their own address and a customised layout.
