Dubai office sales crossed AED 9.4 billion in four months, surpassing 2025 totals as April set a new monthly record.

DUBAI: Dubai office sales have surged sharply in 2026, with the market recording AED 9.4 billion in off-plan transactions within the first four months alone. This Dubai office sales momentum has already exceeded the full-year 2025 total, signalling exceptional growth in the commercial property sector.

April proved to be a standout month, with off-plan office sales reaching AED 3 billion, the highest monthly value ever recorded. Data from the Dubai Land Department, analysed by Al Masdar Al Aqaari, shows a steady upward trajectory since January. The year began with AED 2.4 billion in sales, rising to AED 2.7 billion in February before dipping to AED 1.3 billion in March and rebounding strongly in April.

Transaction activity also reflected this trend. April saw 318 deals, up from 182 in March, while January and February recorded 414 and 355 transactions respectively. This consistency highlights sustained investor appetite despite short-term fluctuations in value.

Business Bay dominated the market in April, generating around AED 2.8 billion across 158 transactions. Its continued performance reinforces its status as a preferred hub for office investments and business expansion in Dubai.

Comparatively, the AED 9.4 billion recorded between January and April represents a 104 percent increase over the AED 4.6 billion total achieved during all of 2025. Transaction volumes are also nearing last year’s figures, reaching nearly 90 percent of 2025’s total deals.

Dubai office sales growth extended to the ready office segment as well. April recorded AED 296.3 million from 106 transactions, improving from March, although still below the stronger figures seen earlier in the year.
