Dubai International Financial Centre has completed DIFC Square ahead of schedule, delivering a major new office development that was fully pre-leased before handover.
The project highlights the continued surge in demand for premium office space within the financial hub as global firms expand their presence in Dubai.
The phased handover of the development is now underway, with tenants beginning fit-out works. Several existing DIFC-registered companies are relocating to larger premises or expanding their footprint within the new complex. Firms moving into DIFC Square include Bank of Singapore, Deutsche Bank, Gallagher Insurance, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, Moody’s and TP ICAP.
Developed by Dubai International Financial Centre through DIFC Developments, the project was delivered within a 24 month design and construction timeline. The complex provides 600,000 square feet of office space across three interconnected glass facade buildings, along with dedicated parking and retail areas.
The relocation of tenants into DIFC Square will also free up around 100,000 square feet of office space within the centre’s highly sought after Gate District and Gate Village, creating additional capacity for incoming firms.
According to DIFC Investments Chief Real Estate Officer Saleh Al Akrabi, the early completion reflects the centre’s commitment to delivering world class infrastructure that supports business expansion. He said strong demand from international firms and continued growth among existing clients demonstrates the resilience and attractiveness of the DIFC ecosystem.
The development forms part of DIFC’s broader expansion strategy, which aims to deliver 1.6 million square feet of commercial space between 2026 and 2027, including projects such as DIFC Living, Innovation Two and Immersive Tower.
Built to LEED standards and awaiting certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, DIFC Square also reflects the district’s push toward more sustainable and future ready infrastructure.
