Industrial structures include furnished/unfurnished offices and co-working spaces, along with designated amenities, such as meeting rooms and conference halls. Business centers are in particular demand in areas, such as Business Bay, Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Financial Center.

Restaurant buildings for a building that includes just one restaurant and is not a mixed-use property, a property owner can either set up their own establishment there or lease the building to other restaurant owners. It may be constructed for the tenant based on brand standards or without any particular concept to suit any restaurant tenant.

Retail spaces might only have space for one business or multiple retail spaces, like a strip mall. As a rule, retail structures feature a storefront in order for customers to walk in directly. If the property is a mall, the access can be inside the building.

Hotels known for their fast turnover, hotel buildings can span across a compact area or they can be super-tall skyscrapers. The latter houses restaurants and retail spaces on-site, which will bring extra profit to its owner.

Apartment buildings while serving primarily as a residency, the general purpose of apartment buildings is for investment (owner-occupied or not). They are distinguished as low, mid or high-rise depending on the amount of levels available.

Multi-use buildings include both residential and commercial tenants at the same time. The uses vary but mostly include residential units, retail spaces, cultural and entertainment venues, just to name a few.

The performance of commercial properties, such as full buildings, is similar to villa communities in Dubai. Therefore, if a structure becomes available for sale or to rent in a good condition, desirable attention and at an attractive price, it is snapped up straight away. Full buildings are known for providing a high ROI with a stable tenant, which is likely to lead to a consistent income. According to the forecast of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the UAE e-commerce market is set to increase to AED 29,3B (USD 8B) after hitting AED 14,3B (USD 3,9B) in 2020 and this will promote an increase in demand for commercial buildings, such as warehouses, showrooms and more.
