Commercial Property for Sale in Business Bay, Business Bay, Dubai Beside Downtown

Business Bay was laid out as Dubai's business district before it became a place to live, and commercial space is still what sets the neighbourhood apart. Its towers line the canal just south of Downtown Dubai, bounded on one side by Sheikh Zayed Road, and were designed with offices on the lower levels and homes higher up. A buyer who wants commercial property in the heart of Dubai rather than on its edges will find Business Bay the natural first stop.

This page covers offices, shops and business space in Business Bay; if you want to buy property in Business Bay to live in, homes are on our main page.

Business Bay Commercial Real Estate Was Planned for Business

A business address only works if people can get to it, and Business Bay is easy to reach: the district has its own Red Line stop, Business Bay Metro Station, Sheikh Zayed Road runs past one side, and Al Khail Road offers a second route in and out. Staff can come by metro; clients can drive in from anywhere in Dubai.

The streets also bring the passers-by a shop or a clinic depends on. Office staff, residents of the towers overhead and visitors to the canal promenade share the same pavements, and that mix is the trade a retail unit here relies on.

Then there is the name. An office beside Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa gives a company an address its clients already know, a consideration for any firm opening its first office in the UAE.

Commercial Property in Business Bay at Bay Square, Bay Avenue and the Canal

Bay Square, developed by Dubai Properties, shows the commercial side of Business Bay at street level: mid-rise office buildings with shops, cafes and restaurants on the ground floor, arranged so that people walk between them. It suits smaller firms, clinics and service companies that want an office with activity around it.

Bay Avenue, the district's retail spine, has ground-floor shops and cafes next to the park, and it is where street-level retail makes most sense.

The canal towers combine offices, hotels and homes in one building. The Opus, designed by Zaha Hadid, holds office floors, the ME Dubai hotel and serviced residences in a single structure. On the western edge near Sheikh Zayed Road, the JW Marriott Marquis stands beside Al Habtoor City.

Business Bay Commercial Real Estate, from Office Floors to Retail Units

Most of the commercial property we list in Business Bay is office space, from A-grade floors in newer towers with smart building systems to furnished, modular units a company can occupy without a fit-out. Retail comes as ground-floor units on Bay Avenue, in Bay Square and beneath the residential towers.

Some new commercial projects offer payment plans, as the residential towers do. The real difference with commercial real estate is the tenant: you let to a company, not a family, so the lease, the service charge and the building's standing with businesses outweigh the view.

If you would rather own a home here, or combine the two, the apartments for sale in Business Bay are listed together.
