Why Expo City Dubai workspace stands out

  • Sustainably designed buildings, certified LEED Platinum and Gold.

Can I lease an office in Expo City Dubai for a short time?
Yes. Expo City Dubai offers short-term leases from 1 day to 12 months, for pop-ups, projects and temporary operations.
How much does an office in Expo City Dubai cost?
Office rents depend on size and fit-out (shell and core, semi-fitted or branded) and are quoted individually. Package workspace is included in the package price, from AED 12,520 a year.
