Abu Dhabi Office Markets End Q4 2025 On A Strong Note As Occupiers Prioritise Flexibility And Grade A Quality, Savills Reveals

In Abu Dhabi, the Grade A office market remained landlord-favourable, with average rents rising to approximately AED 2,375 per sqm per annum(around AED 221 per sq ft), representing a 22% year-on-year increase, driven by strong demand from financial services, IT and engineering occupiers. Prime CBD rents reached around AED 2,750 per sqm(approximately AED 256 per sq ft), up 26% annually, while demand for micro-offices and flexible layouts continues to grow as occupiers prioritise high-quality, ready-to-occupy space.

Harry Ransom, Head of Commercial, Abu Dhabi at Savills Middle East, added,
“Abu Dhabi’s office market continues to benefit from limited Grade A supply and sustained occupier interest, particularly within core business districts. We’re seeing growing demand for high-quality, ready-to-occupy space as companies enter the market more cautiously, favouring flexible layouts and smaller footprints. With a measured supply pipeline ahead, prime assets are expected to remain well supported through 2026.”

Looking ahead to 2026, Savills expects both markets to shift towards more selective opportunities as new supply comes online. Prime assets in established locations are expected to remain well supported, underpinned by continued business formation and sustained regional investment activity.
