Overview
About Bureau Lamar Offices at Business Bay
Bureau Lamar is a six-building commercial development in Business Bay by Lamar Development, selling prime office space by the floor rather than leasing it. From AED 38,500,000, on a 60/40 payment plan, with sales opening 1 May 2026 and handover scheduled for Q1 2029.
Property Overview
The proposition is narrow and deliberate: large-scale prime office space, sold as individual whole floors. The developer positions it as the only development of its kind in the market offering office space for sale rather than for lease — which, if you have tried to buy rather than rent a floor in Business Bay, you will recognise as the gap it is aimed at.
Six buildings, each ground floor plus twelve to twenty-one levels. Multiple elevations face the water, so upper floors carry uninterrupted waterfront views. Two units are currently released: a 6,200 sq ft retail unit at AED 38,500,000 and a 6,415 sq ft full office floor at AED 39,506,925, which is AED 6,158 per sq ft. Floors are delivered as flexible shells with high-quality materials; common areas are finished to an ultra-luxury standard.

Hotels, dining and business services throughout Business Bay
Business Bay is Dubai’s central business district by volume, bounded by Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road and wrapped around the Dubai Water Canal. For an office buyer the appeal is proximity: Downtown, DIFC and the Burj Khalifa are all a short drive, and the canal-side plots carry views that inland towers cannot match.

About the Developer
Lamar Development is the developer behind Bureau Lamar. Given the ticket size and the strata-office structure, we would expect any buyer to review the escrow registration, the service-charge model and the owners’ association arrangements in detail before committing — on commercial strata those documents matter as much as the price. We can obtain all three.
FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask
What is available at Bureau Lamar?
Currently two units: a 6,200 sq ft retail unit at AED 38,500,000, and a 6,415 sq ft full office floor at AED 39,506,925 (AED 6,158 per sq ft). The wider development comprises six buildings of ground plus twelve to twenty-one levels.
Can you actually buy an office floor in Business Bay?
Rarely, which is the point of this scheme. The developer positions Bureau Lamar as the only development of its kind offering prime office space for sale by the floor rather than for lease.
How are the floors delivered?
As flexible shells with modern finishing and high-quality materials, so the occupier fits out to their own layout. Common areas are delivered to an ultra-luxury standard.
Does VAT apply?
Yes. Commercial property in the UAE is standard-rated at 5% VAT, where residential is generally exempt. VAT-registered businesses can typically recover eligible input VAT, making it a cashflow cost rather than a permanent one — but take advice on your own position.
When does it complete?
Q1 2029, with sales opening on 1 May 2026 and a 60/40 payment plan.
