CRC Commercial Property Market Report Q3 2022

The commercial market benefited as a result of both existing businesses relocating to more prestigious sites and the number of new company licenses reaching an all-time high in Q3 2022. The government’s efforts to boost the economy after a difficult time seem to be having notable success. For instance, the possibility to maintain full ownership of a company without the requirement to find a local partner has led to a rise in international investment.

With transactions up 133% and retail transacted value up 184% in Q3 2022, we experienced retail growth that was previously unheard of. This is because prominent retailers like Brands for Less (BFL), Forever 21, and many more have opened additional locations and expanded to serve a wider spectrum of customers.


Commercial Sales

Commercial real estate in Dubai saw a sharp increase in sales transactions in Q3 2022. Increased demand has impacted the market, with prices increasing as buyers look to acquire offices, retail and warehouses to meet their business demands. When comparing 2021 & 2022 Q3, transactions increased by 28%, with a 66% increase in the total value transacted. Various factors have contributed to the rise in demand. These include the new Green and Golden visas, a strong recovery from the pandemic, government initiatives to support businesses and increased business licence issuance. Innovative, strategic approaches by the government have certainly stimulated the economy in Dubai where we saw more than 45,600 new licenses issued in the first half (H1) of 2022 with a growth of 25% compared to H1 2021.

In Q3 2022, office transactions increased by 41% and the transacted value increased by 56% compared to Q3 2021 due to a rise in demand for spaces and a shortage of quality grade A spaces. With 254 units sold, Business Bay remained the most popular area followed by Jumeirah Lake Towers and Barsha Heights (Tecom), with 170 and 41 transactions respectively. International City, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai Marina recorded moderate transactions.

Retail witnessed significant growth of 133% in transactions and a 184% increase in value transacted. This growth can be attributed to a buoyant and resilient economy amidst problems in Europe. Areas such as International City, Dubai Marina and Muhammad Bin Rashid City have been top choices for companies to start or expand their businesses. Many large and medium companies launched or expanded their retail footprint in Dubai.

The growth in all sectors of commercial real estate is a clear indication of a stronger business environment in the UAE, particularly in Dubai. We have seen a significant increase in demand for commercial properties compared to Q3 2021, with overall buyer leads increasing by 38%. Increased tourism and growth in new business licences, alongside more companies looking for larger or extended spaces, have led to an increase in buyer enquiries for warehouses and retail by 33% and 85% respectively. The demand for office spaces has also grown by 21% compared to Q3 2021. Going forward we anticipate further price growth as a result of increased demand for commercial properties.

Government decisions, laws and initiatives have enabled businesses to resume work at full capacity, leading to offices, retail, and warehouses witnessing a notable growth in sales by 25% overall compared to Q3 2021. At CRC, the sales of office spaces in Dubai increased by 15%. The top communities transacted for offices were Jumeirah Lake Tower, Business Bay and Barsha Heights.

COMMERCIAL LEASING

Numerous foreign businesses, including Meta, Optimizely, Rapyd, Folkart, Teneo, Directimo, and Pedersen & Partners, opened their operations following Expo 2020 to serve a significant regional market. In the upcoming quarters, we anticipate that rental prices will continue to rise as demand for commercial property leasing grows.

In the third quarter of 2022, leasing transactions at CRC increased by 3% compared to the same period in 2021. Transactions in retail spaces increased by 18%, while transactions in offices and warehouses remained unchanged. The top communities for retail transactions were Majan, Dubai Marina and Arjan, with higher demand recorded in Al Quoz, DIP, and Jebel Ali.

The overall tenant leads for commercial properties in Q3 2022 increased by 11% compared to Q3 2021. Office space enquiries increased by 28% in Q3 compared to the same period last year as businesses opted for larger offices to accommodate their growing companies and headcount. Prior to the completion of Uptown Tower later this year, DMCC has revealed that all of the office space has been pre-leased. As DMCC increases its presence in Dubai to meet its rapidly expanding roster of over 21,000 member companies, over 495,000 square feet of Grade A office space across 22 floors has been pre-leased.

The sector which topped Dubai’s commercial leasing market was IT, with many companies opening new offices and facilities in Dubai to expand their headcount. One of the biggest technological corporations in the world, Intel, will open its first artificial intelligence R&D facility at Dubai Internet City (DIC), highlighting the emirate’s desirability as a major location in the GCC for establishing innovation centres. F&B and Hospitality sectors are among the top business types that showed exponential growth in Dubai.

CRC Commercial Property Market Report Q1 2023

During the first quarter, Dubai’s commercial real estate market experienced a significant rise in prices and sales transactions. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including the success of government initiatives such as the green and golden visas and the robust post-pandemic recovery. These programs have attracted foreign investment and skilled talent to the country, while the government’s support for businesses during the pandemic has eased financial pressures. DOWNLOAD THE REPORT The green and golden visas attract foreign investment and talent to the country, whilst initiatives to support businesses during the pandemic helped ease the financial burden. The government’s innovative and strategic approach to creating an enterprise-friendly environment has led to a more than 50% increase in new business-license issuance, a driving force behind Dubai’s booming commercial real estate sector. Commercial Sales Dubai’s commercial real estate market saw a sharp increase in sales transactions and prices in the first quarter. Compared to Q1 2022, there were 17% more transactions, whilst the total transacted value increased by 62%. This growth can be attributed to many factors, including government initiatives like the green and golden visas and the strong post-pandemic recovery. During the first quarter, there was a 28% increase in office transactions, with a 52% increase in transacted value (versus Q1 2022). This surging demand for offices has led to a shortage of quality grade A spaces. The most popular area for office sales was Business Bay, followed by JLT and Dubai Silicon Oasis. The growing demand within all sectors of the commercial real estate market is a clear indication of Dubai’s ever increasingly business-friendly environment. Compared to Q1 2022, CRC saw a 69% growth in overall buyer leads. The growth in buyer enquiries for retail spaces was particularly pronounced, up 208%, whilst office and warehouse enquiries increased by 47% and 45% respectively. Whilst buyer enquiries surged, a shortage of available commercial properties led to an 11% decrease in new sales listings and a 12% fall in transaction volume during Q1 2023 when compared to Q1 2022. COMMERCIAL LEASING For the first time in six years, Dubai’s office rents are rebounding and they are increasing at a faster than in London and New York. This is, in part, due to the expansion of global businesses and banks into Dubai, which is fast becoming a financial hub in the Middle East. Ease of business set up, the tax friendly environment and visa reforms are just some of the reasons why entrepreneurs, SMEs and multinationals are likely to continue to relocate or expand to Dubai, giving further support to rental prices. CRC saw a 15% decline in leasing transactions in the first quarter, with a 6% drop in office space transactions. With the recent growth in rental prices, it’s likely that businesses are extending their existing leases to avoid paying the higher market prices, leading to a drop in transactions.  Jumeirah Lake Towers, Business Bay, and Al Quoz emerged as the top communities for retail transactions, followed by Sheikh Zayed Road and Barsha Heights (Tecom). The average office size leased in Q1 2023 was 78% larger than in Q1 2022.

Besides this, Dubai has been trying to maintain its appeal to foreign investors and skilled professionals by implementing legal changes and relaxing social restrictions. For example, at the start of the year, it abolished a 30% tax on alcohol. DOWNLOAD THE REPORT Economic growth and increased foreign investment are the top factors contributing to increased commercial real estate transactions in Dubai. Despite a challenging global economic climate, Dubai has seen robust economic growth, resulting in increased transactions in 2022. According to the Government of Dubai, this is evidenced by the 4.6% year-on-year GDP increase to AED307.5 billion in the first nine months of 2022.

Commercial sales transactions increased by 32%, and the total value of commercial properties sold increased by 64% compared to the previous year. This positive outlook for investing in Dubai’s real estate market can be attributed to several government measures and initiatives that make the city and the UAE an attractive long-term investment destination. Office transactions increased significantly in quantity and value in 2022 as a result of strong market demand and a shortage of available, particularly Grade A office space. With regard to 2022, office transactions specifically climbed by 30%, while the total value of transactions increased by 74%. With 945, 711, and 122 offices sold, Business Bay, Jumeirah Lake Towers, and Barsha Heights were the most popular locations for office transactions.

With transactions up 71% and the value of those transactions up 96% in 2022, retail sales transactions recorded enormous growth.

Dubai has brought more people back to offices with adequate policies and initiatives post-pandemic. In 2022, there was a significant growth of 22% in the number of leads for commercial properties, as well as a similar increase in inquiries for warehouses for rent.

New businesses that have been launched in Dubai include Rapyd, the first Israeli company to be regulated in the UAE; Tarabut Gateway, the first regulated Open Banking platform to be licensed by the DFSA; KMMRCE Holdings, a Dubai-based digital-first technology provider, Oneglobal Broking, a specialist international broking company, and ADIB Capital Ltd. for Wealth & Asset Management. Dubai’s retail industry is poised to grow at a healthy pace due to favourable demographics, improving macroeconomic factors and the revival of the tourism industry. The sector is also expected to benefit from the government’s push towards economic diversification and the growing prominence of omnichannel business models. The industry was severely hit by the restrictions imposed during the pandemic; however, retailers were responsive to the changing demands and innovated to sail through difficult times. As the retail industry continues to recover, there is an urgent need for retailers to upscale their digital presence to stay relevant as well as compete with regional and international players DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT

The type of Commercial and business insurance depends on a multitude of aspects. That being said, here are some of the Commercial and business insurance that you need to know: 1. General Liability Insurance Okay! Let’s start with one of the most well-known business insurance, General Liability Insurance. So what is General Liability Insurance? General Liability Insurance is there to assist you in protecting or safeguarding your business or organization from any claims it has caused. For instance, it can be a physical injury of an employee or other members; General Liability Insurance is there for you. Or accidental damage of properties or belongings of any of your employees and co-workers, General Liability Insurance is there! It also comes into your assistance regarding times of a personal injury. General Liability Insurance is as essential as it can be in the business world. 2.

Everyone has their flaws, and not a single person in this world can always be at the top of their work without making a single mistake. We are all human beings, and at some point in our lives, we do make a mistake. But a mistake is a mistake. And this is where professional liability insurance comes in to help you. In your business venture, there are times when you fail to deliver your promise to the utmost extent you can, or you slip and make a mistake with a service that you provide. Professional Liability insurance in Dubai helps you deal with those lawsuits regarding that. While many professionals are familiar with the term professional Liability Insurance, it is often regarded as Errors and Omissions Insurance, which, if you ask, makes total sense. 3. Commercial Property Insurance Is it one of those things that your fight with your landlord regarding the apartment you have been living in? Well, not really. This is a big misconception among the people outside when they first hear such a term. Let’s say there’s a building that you rented when you first moved into Dubai. And over time, you are growing as your business. What Commercial property insurance does is it protects or safeguards your rented building and the many of the pieces of equipment that you use daily as an integral part of your business. Please remember this insurance does not cover you from any natural disasters. If you wish to get such insurance, it is highly suggested you look for a separate policy to aid you in those worries. 4. Data Breach Insurance We live in a world of technology. And technology is constantly evolving. Unfortunately, so does the risk of data breaching. No business in this world currently does not depend on or revolve around technology. Due to the immense benefits it brings, it is no wonder why technology is an integral part of your business. But with that comes more risk. And data breach insurance is here for you.

According to the policy phraseology, this insurance program covers shop structures and goods, home invasions, theft, cash coverage, bicycles, signages, luggage, personal injuries, and liability. 6. Liability Insurance In Dubai, there is not a single person in the sector who does not know the full extent of liability insurance. There are quite a few compelling liability insurances that offer so much. Each one is different from the next. You can do your research and have the best one on your side that you think will fit your requirements. This type of coverage is primarily designed to protect major multinational corporations from commercial liability concerns in a variety of locations throughout the world. It usually includes bodily harm, damage to infrastructure, potential litigation, clinical studies, product recalls, and workers’ insurance, among other things. 7. Employee Benefit Insurance Employees and workers are the strong pillars of a successful business. Happy and motivated employees lead up to better results. It is one of the most important mantras for successful businesses. And an employer benefit insurance guarantees you, happy employees. These plans, such as corporate medicare advantage plans or corporate accident insurance policies, will preferably offer health insurance coverage to firms’ workers. 8. Bankers Indemnity Insurance As you know, Dubai is an ever-evolving city. Gone are those days when the first thing that comes into mind while mentioning Dubai was the desert. The city is now the pinnacle of development. And with growth comes many different banks throughout the city. And banker’s indemnity insurance in the city is the perfect thing to complement these big banks. These plans are directed at banks and encompass all bank locations. The policies cover money or assets lost on facilities, transportation, fraud, deceit, hypothecated commodities, recorded postal losses, and appraisers. 9. Personnel Compensation Insurance Many in the sector are under the impression that they don’t need any worker compensation insurance as the work premises are so enhanced there won’t be any necessity. But the danger doesn’t come with a warning. No matter how safe your workplace is, you can never know when a disaster will happen. And thinking about buying your way out of it, everything it happens is a big NO. Workers ‘ compensation insurance is usually required for a corporation with more than one worker. When considering the cost of an employee’s compensation policy relative to the expected lawsuit price, it’s clear that being assertive with adequate coverage is the way to go. Out-of-pocket costs that are usually handled by an employees’ compensation policy – from lost earnings to healthcare – can result in significant losses for a corporation. Catastrophe or severe injuries may – and do – occur in even the most meticulous and healthiest work conditions. Therefore, it’s always best to be protected and ready for any eventuality, no matter how unlikely. 10. Erection of All Risk Insurance Machines and machinery are an integral part of any organization regardless of whether your corporation is technical or non-technical. And no machine is perfect, and not all installations are done right. Therefore, at the darkest times regarding technology, it is a must to have all-risk insurance. This policy provides you coverage regarding machinery and any installation or equipment damage that comes your way. It is highly recommended to have it at your disposal. It protects the contractor and the employer from physical harm on the premises. In addition to all these, this insurance policy also provides coverage to third parties.
