Shangri-La

Shangri-La is a 43-storey commercial tower developed by AHS Properties on Sheikh Zayed Road, positioned within the Trade Center 1 district and standing at approximately 200 metres. The project comprises three premium commercial units currently on presale, with completion scheduled for the end of 2027.

# A landmark tower on Sheikh Zayed Road

The building occupies one of Dubai's most recognised commercial corridors, where visibility from the road and proximity to the city's core business districts have historically commanded a premium. At 43 floors and 200 metres, it sits among the taller structures along this stretch, drawing on the Shangri-La brand's long-established presence in the district.

Trade Center 1 is a mature neighbourhood. It predates many of the newer mixed-use clusters that have appeared elsewhere in Dubai, and its reputation rests on continuity: established tenants, a dense network of professional services, and consistent footfall from the business community.

# Commercial units: scale, layout and specification

The three units on offer range from 3,900 to 20,000 square feet, a spread that accommodates both a single-floor occupier and a tenant requiring substantial multi-use space. Pricing is listed at AED 14,000,000, placing the entry point firmly in the institutional and high-net-worth buyer category.

Interiors carry floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout, which serves a practical purpose on a tower of this height: natural light penetration across deep floor plates, and unobstructed views across the city grid below. Finishes are described as high-quality with flexible layouts, suited to corporate office configuration or premium business use.

The scale of these units means they are not divisible retail lots. Each is a significant acquisition in its own right.

# Infrastructure and building services

The tower benefits from the Shangri-La hotel's existing operational infrastructure, which includes dining venues, meeting and event facilities, and full hospitality services available to commercial tenants. Valet parking, concierge, and high-speed elevator access are part of the building's standard offering.

This arrangement gives commercial occupiers access to hotel-grade services without independently contracting them, a practical consideration for firms that regularly host clients or require flexible meeting capacity at short notice.

# Connectivity to the rest of Dubai

Sheikh Zayed Road provides direct highway access in both directions, and the tower sits within proximity of the Dubai Metro's red line, reducing dependence on private transport for daily commuters. Downtown Dubai and DIFC are both reachable within a short drive, as is Dubai International Airport.

The Dubai World Trade Centre, a significant draw for international exhibitions and corporate events, is in the immediate vicinity. For businesses whose calendar is tied to trade events or whose clients arrive through that circuit, the address has operational logic beyond its prestige.

# Who this acquisition suits

A 200-metre tower on Sheikh Zayed Road with three units at this price point is a narrow market by design. The buyer profile is specific: a regional or international business seeking a flagship address, a family office acquiring commercial real estate as a long-term hold, or an investor positioning ahead of the 2027 delivery date in a district with limited new supply at this specification.

City Walk, where AHS Properties has developed residential projects, represents the lifestyle end of the group's portfolio. This tower is the corporate counterpart: a single-building, low-unit-count asset in one of Dubai's most established business addresses, acquired before completion.
