Office space demand in Dubai surged by nearly a quarter in the first half of 2023, an “unknown shaft ” led by an increased preference for grade A locales, a new study has shown. Demand in the six months to the end of June rose 23 per cent annually to nearly 54,000 square metres, bolstering the robust demand for marketable office space, consultancy Knight Frank said in its request update on Thursday.
Interest in Grade A developments, in particular, continued to grow during the period, as occupiers – both original and international – increasingly gravitate towards office spaces that are efficiently managed, well maintained and accredited to environmental, social and governance( ESG) morals, the London- predicated establishment said. Tenants also believe that high quality services contribute to gift attraction and retention, Knight Frank said, which would be a pivotal selling point for companies in a competitive pool request. This has led to a strong performance in average office parcel rates in the 25 submarkets Knight Frank observers, it said. Still, this is a challenge for inventors as they try to keep up with continuously rising demand, said Faisal Durrani, mate and head of Middle East exploration at Knight Frank. “ Dubai’s office request continues to witness a severe deficit of force, with just 3 million square bases( 278,700 square metres) of space due to be completed between now and 2026, the vast maturity of which is formerly spoken for. This is against a background of 580,000 square bases (54,000 square metres) of conditions,” he wrote in the report.

The emirate’s frugality, which last time rebounded explosively from the coronavirus – convinced retardation, has carried the growth instigation into this time, supported by the resurgent trip and tourism sector and its fleetly perfecting property request.
The Dubai International Financial Centre remained the megacity’s best- performing position, driven by Brookfield Place, where rents remain well above the wider DIFC normal of around Dh 2,799 per forecourt metre. The 92,900- forecourt- bottom Brookfield Place is the among the world’s 20 largest Leed Platinum rated structures and was also the first structure in the Middle East to achieve a Platinum Wired Score standing, which assesses the quality and adaptability of digital structure in structures.

Growing preferences for ESG- accredited structures in Dubai indicate that the emirate is ahead of the wind, given that ESG considerations are still a fairly incipient generality across the Middle East. There are suggestions that the request is responding to the global green program. These suggestions are apparent through a growing emphasis on sustainability, energy effectiveness and environmentally responsible practices in the construction, operation and operation of parcels,” Mr Durrani said. “Formulator integrating ESG practices appear to be serving financially from the growing demand for ESG- rated office structures. Global blue chip businesses, with green authorizations, are the top motorist behind this and are willing to pay decorations to enthral similar office structures. ”
