Dubai, UAE – 10 March 2026
Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has completed and begun the phased handover of DIFC Square ahead of schedule, delivering 600,000 sq. ft. of Grade A commercial office space at a time of strong demand from international and regional firms.
The development was fully pre-leased before completion, highlighting continued appetite for premium office space within the financial centre. DIFC said the project supports both the influx of new companies and the expansion of existing tenants within the district.
Several established firms are relocating or expanding into larger premises at DIFC Square, including Bank of Singapore, Deutsche Bank, Gallagher Insurance, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, Moody’s and TP ICAP.
Their move into the new development is expected to free up around 100,000 sq. ft. of office space across DIFC’s highly sought-after Gate District and Gate Village.
Developed by DIFC Developments within a 24-month design and construction timeline, DIFC Square comprises three interconnected glass-fronted buildings with dedicated parking and retail space. Several restaurants and retail outlets are expected to open within the complex, including Duck & Rice, Saddle, Hudson & Rye, Liban and Cakes & Bubbles.
Saleh Al Akrabi, Chief Real Estate Officer at DIFC Investments, said completing the project ahead of schedule reflects DIFC’s commitment to providing infrastructure that enables companies to grow and expand within the centre.
DIFC Square forms part of the financial centre’s broader pipeline to deliver 1.6 million sq. ft. of commercial space between 2026 and 2027, including projects such as DIFC Living, Innovation Two and Immersive Tower.
The new development has been built to LEED standards, with certification from the U.S. Green Building Council expected shortly.
