Commercial property sale in Dubai Supply and demand. Those are the words which adequately sum up the position of the Dubai commercial property market; the supply does not meet the demand in this case, which fact alone has maintained property prices in this sector. Hundreds of regional and multinational companies are setting up offices in Dubai monthly, thus creating such a demand for commercial property and office space which must remain unfulfilled for the foreseeable future. As we have discussed on another page, the completion rate for commercial property, indeed any property in Dubai, is slow and this also has had the effect of helping to keep prices high. The commercial property rental market we see that office rents in Dubai have increased by 40 percent year-to-date (2008). Massive construction projects are underway in key areas of Dubai such as Business Bay and Dubai Waterfront which will in return create a plethora of Dubai commercial properties and office space available for rent or purchase which should ease the problem for buyers and renters whilst possibly bringing the developers more into line with the rest of the world. These business areas which are ambitious in the extreme will, when completed, provide Dubai with the role of a leading international commercial and business centre, similar to that of Manhattan some experts believe. All sorts of great opportunities will be on offer for start up business, small and multinational businesses to purchase commercial property or office space in Dubai at reasonable prices in prime locations.
