600,000 sq ft office project almost fully pre-leased before handover, says DIFC

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has completed and begun the phased handover of DIFC Square, adding 600,000 sq ft of Grade A office space to meet rising demand from global and regional firms expanding in Dubai’s financial hub.

The project was delivered within a 24-month construction timeline and was almost fully pre-leased before handover, highlighting strong demand for premium office space in DIFC. Major companies securing offices include Bank of Singapore, Deutsche Bank, Gallagher Insurance, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, Moody’s, and TP ICAP.

Some tenants are relocating to larger spaces within DIFC Square, while others are expanding operations. The move will also free up around 100,000 sq ft of additional office capacity in the district’s Gate District and Gate Village.

The development consists of three interconnected glass-façade buildings with retail outlets, dining spaces, and dedicated parking. Built to LEED sustainability standards and awaiting certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, DIFC Square forms part of DIFC’s wider expansion plan to deliver 1.6 million sq ft of new commercial space by 2027.
