“It confirms the Group’s leading position in the city’s commercial real estate sector, which continues to outperform global peers.

Office Park currently generates annual revenue exceeding AED60 million ($16.34 million), and TECOM Group will recognise this income starting Q4 2024. The Group also expects significant growth opportunities to optimise rental rates and improve occupancy levels, promising higher returns. The property has over 800 car parking spaces, adding significant value and convenience for customers and visitors.
