Bearau Lamar Commercial Tower

Bureau Lamar Commercial Tower is a presale office development by Lamar Development, located in Business Bay, Dubai, with a scheduled completion of Q1 2029. The project occupies a single building and comprises two large-format office floors available for outright purchase.

# A Single Building, a Specific Proposition

Bureau Lamar positions itself around one format: entire office floors sold freehold rather than leased. This is not a conventional commercial tower parcelled into suites. Each available unit is a self-contained floor plate, giving the buyer full control over layout, fit-out, and long-term use.

The building sits within Business Bay, the dense, canal-fronted district that has become Dubai's primary address for corporate occupiers and professional services firms. Multiple elevations face the water, which means upper floors carry uninterrupted views across the Dubai Water Canal toward Downtown.

# The Office Floors: Scale, Specification and Shell Delivery

The two available floors run from 6,200 square feet to just over 6,415 square feet. Both are delivered as shell space, finished with high-quality materials across structural surfaces and common interfaces but left unfurnished and unpartitioned. The buyer appoints their own design team.

Pricing sits between AED 38.5 million and AED 39.5 million per floor.

That delivery model suits buyers who want an office that reflects a house identity rather than a landlord's standard specification. Law firms, family offices, asset managers, and regional headquarters operations are the obvious candidates. Shell delivery at this scale also allows for a full M&E design from first principles, which becomes relevant at floor plates above 5,000 square feet.

# Cultural Infrastructure Inside the Building

The developer's concept extends well beyond the office floors themselves. The podium and common areas are finished to an ultra-luxury standard, with a brief that covers retail, food and beverage, and a dedicated business and arts library accessible to tenants.

# Cultural Programming as a Tenant Amenity

A cultural district sits within the development, incorporating permanent and rotating art exhibition spaces, a cinema focused on cultural film and documentary, and multiple performance areas for art, music, and dance. This positions Bureau Lamar closer to a curated institutional campus than a conventional commercial block, which is an uncommon configuration for Dubai's office market.

# Business Bay: Location and Connectivity

Business Bay is bounded by Sheikh Zayed Road to the west and Al Khail Road to the east, giving occupiers direct access to two of Dubai's principal arterial routes. The district sits immediately north of Downtown Dubai, placing Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall within a short drive, and Dubai International Airport within roughly twenty minutes under normal traffic conditions.

The Dubai Water Canal runs through the district, and several canal-side walkways and restaurant strips have matured into active public spaces over the past five years.

# Who This Building Suits and Where It Sits in the Market

Freehold office floors of this size are scarce in Dubai. The city's commercial leasing market has historically dominated, and single-floor freehold sales at the premium end remain uncommon. For a buyer seeking a permanent headquarters rather than a renegotiated lease every three years, the case is straightforward: capital deployed becomes an asset on the balance sheet rather than an operating expense.

The AED 38.5 to 39.5 million price band places this at the institutional end of Dubai's commercial property spectrum. The target buyer is not a small business looking for office space. It is an established firm, a family office allocating capital into a productive asset, or a regional operation setting down roots in Dubai with a long time horizon. Completion in March 2029 provides a runway for planning a fit-out programme without disrupting existing operations.
