Key Themes

Flight to Quality Transforming Dubai Workplace Market

Demand for Grade A office space in Dubai is still surging as older assets face growing obsolescence. Rebuilding real estate portfolios to support return-to-office goals while facing sustained rental hikes, multinationals are moving beyond traditional office environments toward experience-driven, hospitality-inspired workplaces – balancing flexibility and longevity in an ever-changing city. Tenants demand curated amenities, wellness zones, outdoor terraces and vibrant social hubs within mixed-use developments. Real estate has evolved from a cost metric into a strategic asset for talent attraction, retention and brand differentiation.

AI Accelerating Workplace Change

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we work, design workplaces and manage real estate and facilities. Beyond accelerating production and administrative processes, with AI agents becoming co-workers and transforming the employee experience, AI is driving workplace strategy and design, generating space utilisation analysis and scenarios, optimising layouts and streamlining collaboration between project teams and fit-out providers. Facilities management is embracing sensors and AI for predictive maintenance and adaptive environments. AI is impacting every aspect of the workplace in ways we are only starting to understand.

Offices That Reflect Culture and Inspire Collaboration

Even with stricter return-to-office mandates, hybrid work is firmly established in Dubai. Employees expect autonomy in where and how they work. HR leaders aim to provide healthy environments where employees choose to spend their days in-office, co-created with them in continuous feedback loops, transitioning from traditional assigned desks to more flexible, bookable spaces with layouts that enhance well-being, creativity, collaboration and productivity. Dubai is pivoting from purely functional workplaces to culturally resonant and experience-enhancing designs that express Emirati heritage through contemporary architectural language.

Invaluable experience from both a content and connections perspective.

Manager, Workplace Change and Real Estate Services, Aurizon

Really a diverse set of perspectives on critical topics in the real data and workplace disciplines. Extremely thought-provoking.

Workplace Experience Manager, Atlassian

Informative, interesting views on workplace design, planning technology and workers.
