62 left out of these figures: the register files one contract's whole rent on each of the premises it covers, so such a row cannot say what one premises lets for. They are counted in the Registered column.

The register states no floor area for 495 of these lettings, so they are counted here and set none of the figures above. On the letting register those are very often a business address registered for a licence rather than a floor of an office, and folding them in pulls the middle a long way below what real premises cost.

1,052 of these were new tenancies and 710 were renewals of one already in place.

Home by home

29 towers in Downtown Dubai had a registered business sale or a registered business tenancy in the twelve months to 22 October 2026. The busiest are here; each one has a page of its own.

The register names no tower for 1 of this district's registered business sales, so they are counted in the totals above and appear under no tower here.

How these figures are made

A registration is treated as business property when the Land Department's own record names it as one: an office, a shop, a showroom, a warehouse or workshop, a hotel unit, or a whole tower. Where the register names a unit inside a tower but not what kind, the use it records for that unit decides. Villas and plots are never treated as business property, because the register files many of Dubai's most expensive family homes under a commercial use.

The Land Department writes a use against every registration, and on a villa or a plot that field does not say whether the thing is a business or a home: the most expensive family homes in Dubai are filed under a commercial use. So the 282 villa and plot registrations in this district's register are left out of these figures rather than guessed at, and they are counted as homes.

On the sale register: 1 registration carries a description this desk has not been taught to read. It is counted here and left out of every figure until it is.

On the tenancy register: 136 registrations carry a description this desk has not been taught to read. They are counted here and left out of every figure until they are.

Every figure on this page is a transaction the Dubai Land Department has registered. None of them is an advert, an asking price or an estimate, and where the register holds too few of something to give a middle figure this page prints a range or a count instead of guessing one. Sales and tenancies are both counted over the twelve months to 22 October 2026, by the day each was registered.
