Al Jaddaf: Freehold Offices Beside Two Metro Stations

Key details

About this property

The address is Al Jaddaf, the freehold strip between Dubai Creek and the Business Bay extension. The tower sits a short walk from two metro stations, Al Jaddaf and Creek, and a future Etihad Rail connection is planned in the same district. Dubai Mall and Dubai Festival City are both minutes away, and the creekside cafes and dining are on the doorstep. The orientation gives two different outlooks: north and north west sweeps over Za'abeel towards Downtown, the tallest tower and Creek Harbour, while east and south east looks over the Mohammed bin Rashid Library, the water of the creek and the Festival City skyline. The released office unit is about 55 square metres, which is a size that works for a two to six person practice: a law firm, an accountant, a family office, a design studio, a broker. There are 235 of them in the building, so a buyer who needs more can combine adjacent units rather than look elsewhere, and a buyer who wants to let can sit in a floor where the neighbours are the same kind of business. Four basement levels carry the parking, and nineteen retail units on the ground floor handle the coffee and the lunch that an office of this size does not have room for. The offices sit in the same building as the homes and share its deck, so the working day and the amenity programme are in one place: an adults and children's swimming pool, a padel tennis court, a ninety metre sprint and jogging lane, fitness facilities, a yoga and aerobics platform, lounge seating platforms, an open lawn and activity tables. Nineteen retail units occupy the ground floor, which means coffee, lunch and errands are downstairs rather than a drive away. Four basement levels carry the parking. Ownership is freehold and open to all nationalities, which is the point of buying an office in this particular strip rather than leasing one elsewhere. The payment plan is ten percent down, forty percent across the build and fifty percent on handover, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028. Two things to weigh. An office at 1,699,999 dirhams clears the two million dirham residency visa threshold only if the buyer takes more than one unit or a larger floor. And a commercial unit is valued on its tenant and its lease, not on the building, so the resale case here depends on Al Jaddaf's office demand rather than on its apartment demand.
