Questions about renting in DIC
How much does it cost to rent a warehouse in DIC?
Our current DIC listings for rent ask AED 60 to 75 per sq ft a year (excluding VAT). For a 5,000 sq ft unit at AED 63, that is about AED 315,000 a year. Bigger units, high power and good loading usually cost more per foot; very large units often less.
What sizes of warehouse are available in DIC?
DIC's own ready-built units are roughly 5,000 to 11,000 sq ft; privately owned warehouses are often much larger, from 20,000 to 50,000 sq ft and more. Right now we have 8 in DIC, from 4,050 to 85,000 sq ft.
Is Dubai Industrial City good for manufacturing?
Yes - it was planned for it. Many units have the high power and large plots that production lines need, and the zone also suits logistics and cold, chemical or general storage. Our current DIC listings go up to 1,000 kW.
Why is DIC cheaper than other industrial areas?
It is further from the city centre than areas like Al Quoz or Ras Al Khor. For businesses that don't need to be near city customers, that distance buys more space and power per dirham.
What do I pay on top of the rent?
Commercial rent in the UAE carries 5% VAT. Expect the lease registration fee, a DEWA connection or transfer with a refundable deposit that depends on the load, and the security deposit set by the landlord.
