How much does an office in Rockefeller Tower cost?
LMD has not published prices for Christian A. Rockefeller Business Tower. Each office is priced individually by floor, view and type, and the live price list is held by Devmark, the developer’s exclusive agent. What is public is the structure of the payment: 50% during construction and 50% on handover in Q2 2031, plus the 4% DLD fee at signing and 5% VAT on every instalment. Once you have a price per sq ft from us, the calculator below turns it into a full schedule.
This page deals only with price and payments. For the building itself, office layouts and the developer, read our Rockefeller Tower Dubai project brief.

How Rockefeller Tower prices work
LMD’s factsheet gives sizes, the payment plan and the service charge, but no prices. Prices are released unit by unit on request, and each office is priced by its floor, the view (Sheikh Zayed Road and the sea, Business Bay, or Burj Khalifa and Downtown), and its type. A Core suite on a lower floor and a Presidential full floor on level 75 are unlikely to share a rate per sq ft.
The developer has appointed Devmark as exclusive sales and marketing agent, so availability and the price list come from one source and change as units sell. TruHauz is a RERA-registered brokerage and can request the current list for you, check which units are still free and book a meeting with the sales team. There is no cost to you.
When you have a price, check three things: the exact office area in the Sales and Purchase Agreement, whether the price is quoted before or after VAT, and whether any incentive on the 20% plan changes the price or the fees. For office sizes by floor and the five unit categories, see the Rockefeller Tower Dubai floor plans on our project brief.
The two Rockefeller Tower payment plans, explained
Standard plan
You pay 10% on signing and another 10% one month later. After that there is a long pause until month 15, then six payments of 5% every six months (months 15, 21, 27, 33, 39 and 45). The last 50% is due on handover, expected in Q2 2031.
It suits buyers who want the smallest possible cheque on day one. For every AED 1 million of price, signing costs about AED 145,000 (AED 100,000 instalment, AED 5,000 VAT, AED 40,000 DLD fee), then AED 105,000 a month later.
Incentivised plan
You pay 20% on signing in one go, then the same six 5% payments و 50% on handover. Over the life of the plan you pay exactly the same share as on the standard plan; only the first month differs.
For every AED 1 million of price, signing costs about AED 250,000 (AED 200,000 instalment, AED 10,000 VAT, AED 40,000 DLD fee). LMD attaches an incentive to this plan but does not define it in the factsheet, so ask what it is before you choose.
On both plans you pay 20% in the first year and 30% between months 15 and 45, so after the first year the outlay is a steady 5% every six months. After the month-45 payment (about August 2030 if you sign in November 2026) nothing more is due until handover, roughly nine months later if the Q2 2031 date holds.
What the price includes, and what it does not
| يكلف | المبلغ | When | In the calculator? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office price | Size × price per sq ft | Per the payment plan | نعم |

The DLD fee is calculated on the purchase price. VAT rules on commercial property can be complex for companies; take tax advice if you plan to recover VAT. For a wider guide to costs, VAT and visas when buying an office, read buying office space in Dubai.

Rockefeller Tower price and payment plan: FAQ
What is the price of offices in Rockefeller Tower?
LMD has not published a price list for Christian A. Rockefeller Business Tower. Prices are released unit by unit through Devmark, the developer’s exclusive sales and marketing agent, and depend on the floor, view and office type. Message TruHauz on WhatsApp for the current price list, then enter the price per sq ft in the calculator on this page to see your full payment schedule.
What is the Rockefeller Tower payment plan?
There are two 50/50 plans. The standard plan is 10% on signing, 10% one month later, six instalments of 5% at months 15, 21, 27, 33, 39 and 45, and 50% on handover, expected in Q2 2031. The incentivised plan is 20% on signing, the same six 5% instalments and 50% on handover. The 4% DLD fee is paid at signing on both plans.
What is the difference between the standard and the incentivised plan?
Both plans total 50% before handover and 50% on handover. The only difference is the start: the standard plan splits the first 20% into 10% on signing and 10% a month later, while the incentivised plan asks for the full 20% on signing. The developer links an incentive to the second plan; ask what it is when you reserve, because it is not stated in the factsheet.
How much cash do I need at signing?
On the standard plan, about 14.5% of the price at signing: 10% instalment, 0.5% VAT on that instalment and the 4% DLD fee, plus the DLD admin and registration fees. Another 10.5% (10% plus VAT) follows a month later. On the incentivised plan it is about 25% at signing: 20%, 1% VAT and 4% DLD, plus admin fees.
Is VAT charged on Rockefeller Tower offices?
Yes. Commercial property in Dubai carries 5% VAT. LMD collects it with each instalment rather than as one upfront sum, so a 10% instalment comes with 0.5% of the price in VAT. Over the full plan the VAT adds 5% to the price. Companies registered for VAT should ask their tax adviser whether they can recover it.
What fees are payable on top of the office price?
The 4% Dubai Land Department fee on the purchase price, the DLD admin and Oqood registration fees, and 5% VAT spread across the instalments. After handover you also pay the annual service charge, which LMD estimates at AED 18 per sq ft. Fit-out, furniture and utility connections are separate costs for the owner or tenant.
What are the annual service charges?
LMD’s estimate is AED 18 per sq ft a year. That is about AED 19,400 a year for a 1,077 sq ft Core office and about AED 241,200 a year for a 13,400 sq ft full floor. The final rate is approved by RERA at handover and can change.
When is the final 50% payment due?
On handover, which the developer’s factsheet expects in Q2 2031. If construction finishes earlier or later, the handover payment moves with it. Check the completion date, the grace period and the delay terms in your Sales and Purchase Agreement before you sign.
How does the Rockefeller payment plan compare with Berkeley Tower?
Berkeley Tower by Ellington uses a 70/30 plan: 20% at booking, four 5% instalments within the first 360 days, six 5% instalments tied to construction progress and 30% on completion. That is 40% in the first year against 20% at Rockefeller Tower. Neither developer has released prices yet.
ما مدى دقة هذه الآلة الحاسبة؟
The percentages, the 4% DLD fee, the 5% VAT and the AED 18 service charge come from the developer’s factsheet. The price per sq ft, the signing date and any rent are your own inputs or assumptions. Calendar months are approximate and assume signing in November 2026. Only the signed Sales and Purchase Agreement is binding.
