Market Insights
Industrial & Commercial Dominance by Value: While residential contracts led in volume, the day was marked by massive high-value commercial and industrial leases. Jabal Ali Industrial First single-handedly accounted for over AED 506 million, demonstrating the area's critical role in Dubai's logistics and industrial ecosystem.
Premium Residential Demand: Areas like Al Barsha First (AED 138M) and Burj Khalifa (AED 79M) continued to show strong demand for high-value residential leases, reflecting sustained interest in prime established communities.
Volume vs. Value Dynamics: The data reveals a clear distinction between high-volume, lower-average-value areas (like Al Goze Third with 179 contracts) and low-volume, ultra-high-value locations (like Zaabeel First, with just 7 contracts totaling AED 112 million).
Non-Freehold Dominance in Value: Non-freehold areas generated a higher total rental value (AED 1.005B) compared to freehold areas (AED 664M), indicating that older, established central business districts and residential areas continue to command significant premium leases.
The rental market on November 27th presented a picture of a diversified and mature ecosystem, with strong parallel activity in the industrial, commercial, and residential sectors, each catering to distinct tenant profiles and investment strategies.
