Abu Dhabi’s office market continued its strong performance through Q3 2025, reflecting the city’s growing economic momentum and business confidence. Supported by limited new supply and sustained demand for Grade A space, occupancy and rental levels reached new highs across key districts.

Average Grade A rents climbed to AED 2,875 per sqm in the CBD and AED 1,825 per sqm in the Outer CBD, marking annual increases of 35% and 11% respectively, the strongest growth seen in recent years.

Leasing activity was driven by both expanding occupiers and new market entrants, particularly within the financial, technology and manufacturing sectors. With prime availability remaining tight, tenants are increasingly prioritising fitted and ready-to-occupy spaces.

With limited new completions expected before 2027, landlords of high-quality assets continue to hold strong negotiating power, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a landlord-favoured market supported by a resilient non-oil economy and a growing base of regional and international occupiers.
