DIP (Dubai Investment Park) Area Guide

Dubai Investments Park (DIP) is a strategic commercial hub offering logistics proximity, metro connectivity, and investor-friendly yields, all under a well-designed master plan. 

For a market driven by cost discipline, pricing transparency is very important. 

With an expected IPO value of $2.5bn, reflecting its mature infrastructure and cash flow, DIP presents strong investment potential. 

According to Dubai Land Department’s Smart Rental Index (2025) and DIC’s open data dashboards, commercial and industrial lease prices are highly transparent. This enables investors and operators to benchmark rates and negotiate rents effectively across different zones of DIC.

Such pricing clarity is essential for teams involved in securing lease agreements, ensuring both competitive advantages and cost-efficiency.

This guide outlines DIP’s commercial position, yields, asset types, and infrastructure benefits for investors and tenants.

Location & Connectivity

Dubai Investments Park is strategically located on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E11) with swift links to E11 and E611, integrating seamlessly into Dubai’s freight backbone and the Expo growth arc. 

Additionally, Energy and DIP Metro Stations  connect directly to the Red Line, providing teams with direct access to the metro, while RTA routes F47 and F49 seamlessly connect key industrial nodes. 

Its close proximity to Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum International Airport reduces waiting time for shipments, minimizing the cost of the final delivery leg, making regional distribution more efficient.

Community & Business Ecosystem

Designed as a true business district, Dubai Investments Park operates like a compact city where work runs smoothly and support is conveniently close. It fuses industrial zones, logistics parks, and focused office precincts with on‑site staff accommodation and curated retail for daily needs. 

Crucially, banking, licensing, and government counters are easily accessible, expanding onboarding and compliance. Landscaped, gated districts and plentiful parking keep operations tidy, secure, and predictable, even during peak shifts and heavy vehicle cycles.

Commercial property offerings

From agile offices to large‑format logistics, Dubai Investments Park offers a full commercial spectrum. You’ll find flexible floors in mixed‑use blocks and Grade A plates suited to finance, consulting, and tech back‑office teams within purpose‑built business centres such as Schon Business Park and Bayan Business Centre. 

Meanwhile, storage spans compact units ranging from  3,600 sq ft to 85,000 sq ft, with some larger units up to 54,000 sq ft with docks, high power, and industrial utilities. 

Ground‑floor retail captures daily worker spend and supports F&B rollouts. When specifications matter, built‑to‑suit delivery aligns asset design with tenant operational needs.

Investment appeal

Yield profiles in DIP benefit from robust logistics demand and decentralised office takeup, often outpacing central districts on returns while preserving liquidity and long‑term tenancy depth. 

Operating costs and occupational overheads trend lower than core CBDs, supporting stronger NOI (Net Operating Income) and risk‑adjusted performance for owners and REITs. 

Key demand drivers include e‑commerce, 3PL growth, and regional HQ expansion, which anchor sustained warehouse absorption and office re‑stacking.
