Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, known for its record-breaking real estate offerings, is once again in the spotlight as the world’s highest office space hits the market for $12.2 million. This 6,073-square-foot shell and core office is attracting strong interest from Gulf-based family offices and international investment funds from the US and Europe, providing a rare opportunity to design a bespoke workspace with panoramic views of Dubai.

The listing comes amidst an exceptional year for Dubai’s commercial property sector, with office sales transactions reaching AED 6.5 billion ($1.77 billion) in 2024, reflecting the emirate’s growing demand for premium commercial spaces.

This follows a previous office sale in the Burj Khalifa last November for AED 50 million, as well as the listing of the world’s highest residential property, "Sky Palace," for $51 million on the tower’s 108th floor. The penthouse, spanning 21,000 square feet, remains an exclusive offering requiring an estimated $4.9 million in additional renovations.

Dubai’s commercial real estate market continues to surge, with 9,038 transactions totaling $24.5 billion in 2024, marking a 24% year-on-year increase, according to Commercial Real Estate Consultants (CRC). The Burj Khalifa alone has generated AED 467.1 million in residential sales this year, with total home sales since its 2010 inauguration reaching AED 8.8 billion.

With limited availability of premium office spaces, prices for Grade A offices in Dubai’s secondary market have surged 27% year-on-year to AED 1,417 per square foot, driven by over 70,000 new company registrations with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in 2023.

Occupants of this ultra-exclusive office space will benefit from the tower’s world-class amenities, including the luxurious Armani Hotel Dubai, At.mosphere – the world’s highest restaurant – and an observatory deck, making it an unparalleled investment in Dubai’s thriving commercial landscape.
