Finding
Median AED a sq ft a year, single-unit leases starting in the quarter
Quarterly medians move with the mix of units let. Use the like-for-like change for direction.
Finding
Same building, type and size band: the 12 months to 15 Oct 2026 against the 12 months before
The median office lease in Dubai is AED 102 a sq ft a year now. Like for like compares the same buildings, so a change in which units were let does not move it.
Finding
New lease against renewal: same building, same type, size within 15%
Renewals show what landlords accept from tenants they keep. If you renew, ask for the renewal level, not the new-lease level.
Finding
Office Ejaris by kind, 12 months
175,650 of the office Ejaris registered 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 are virtual units: flexi desks and licence-only Ejaris with no size. They are left out of every median here.
53,811 are single offices let on the open market; 3,010 contracts cover more than one unit or a whole building.

Updated 21 Oct 2026. Source: Dubai Land Department Ejari rent contracts, commercial and industrial use, starting 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 (the last 12 months in the data). Offices, shops, warehouses and showrooms are the Ejari property type. We count one physical unit for each contract: one line, one unit, an Ejari unit (not a virtual unit). Virtual units (flexi desks and licence-only Ejaris, with no size) and contracts for more than one unit or a whole building are counted apart and are never in a median. Annual rent from AED 5,000 to AED 50 million. "New" is a new contract of 6 to 13 months; "renewal" is a renewed contract. AED a sq ft is the annual rent over the Ejari unit size (square metres x 10.7639), from units inside a plausible size range for the type. Every rent is a median: half the leases are above it. A median needs 30 or more leases. Changes on the year are like for like: the same building, type and size band (15%) in both years, named buildings only. DIFC and most free-zone leases are registered outside Ejari, so they are not here.
