In addition to this deal, the developer has invested in 6 Falak in Dubai Internet City, is developing a Grade A office tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, and has entered a mixed-use joint venture with Expo City Dubai.

Booming Demand in DIFC

Aldar highlighted the surging demand for premium commercial spaces in Dubai, with Grade A office rents in DIFC experiencing a 15% year-on-year increase.

This trend underscores the emirate’s growing appeal as a global business hub, driven by a competitive market for high-quality office developments.

This latest acquisition reflects Aldar’s strategic focus on diversifying its portfolio and capitalising on the rising demand for premium commercial properties in Dubai.
