A finished office tower on Bay Avenue, completed in Q1 2010

Grosvenor Office Tower was completed in Q1 2010 and is freehold. Asam Investments developed it. It stands in Business Bay with frontage on Bay Avenue, the tree-lined pedestrian boulevard.

A building that has been finished for years has an advantage over one still being built: you can walk through it. You can see the lobby, ride the lifts, look at the corridors and talk to the people who already work there. That is the most reliable way to judge a tower, so use it. Ask to see more than one floor, and ask to see an office that is occupied as well as one that is empty.

Offices and ground-floor retail

The tower is made up of office suites, with retail space at ground level. Retail on the ground floor has a practical side for tenants upstairs: coffee, lunch and everyday errands are on the ground floor. It also means more foot traffic through the entrance, which you should look at on your viewing.

Office suites differ from floor to floor and unit to unit in size, layout and condition. Ask for the exact area and a floor plan for every suite you consider, and ask what is included, such as partitions, ceilings, lighting and any existing fit-out.

Views toward Downtown, DIFC and Sheikh Zayed Road

Depending on the floor and the side of the tower, the views can include:

• Bay Avenue
• Business Bay
• Downtown
• the Dubai International Financial Centre
• Dubai Mall
• Sheikh Zayed Road (E11)
• the JW Marriott Marquis Business Bay
• the Oberoi Hotel
• the Taj Dubai

Nobody sees all of these from one window. A low floor on the Bay Avenue side will see something quite different from a high floor facing the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor. If a view matters to you, stand at the window of the exact suite you are being offered and look at what is there. Check the afternoon glare too, since large windows facing the sun can make a working space hot and hard to use at certain hours.

What the building provides day to day

The building has:

• 24-hour security
• concierge services
• high-speed lifts
• central air conditioning
• secure underground parking

Each of these is worth a question. For security and concierge, ask how visitors are registered and whether the desk handles deliveries. For the lifts, ask how they cope at the start and end of the working day. For central air conditioning, ask whether it is covered by the service charge or billed separately, and who to call when a suite is too warm or too cold. For parking, ask how many bays come with the suite and where clients and visitors park.

Prices and rents: what to ask for

Ask the seller or landlord for the asking price or rent, the exact area, and dated registered figures for comparable offices in this tower. A figure without a date is hard to rely on.

When you receive a number, ask what it includes. A rent that looks lower may exclude service charges, parking or air conditioning, and a sale price that looks lower may come with a suite that needs fit-out work. Put each offer on one comparison sheet with the same questions answered for every building.

Business Bay in registered transactions

These figures are for the whole of Business Bay, not for Grosvenor Office Tower. Over the latest 12 months, Dubai Land Department recorded 10,840 sales in Business Bay, 6,865 of them off-plan and 3,975 in completed buildings, at a median of AED 2,508.88 per sq ft. The most recent was on 2026-05-12. In the same period it registered 7,547 rental contracts in the area, with a median annual rent of AED 92,000.

An area median puts many kinds of property into one number, and most of the sales counted were off-plan, so it does not describe an office in a finished tower. Use these figures as background only. Ask for dated figures from this building, and remember that sale records show what was registered, not what any suite is worth today.

You can browse recent registered transactions on our site, and the methodology page explains how these figures are counted.

Getting to the tower: Bay Avenue, the Canal and the Metro

Grosvenor Office Tower is on Bay Avenue in Business Bay. The Dubai Water Canal promenade, Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line and Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) are the landmarks people use to place the district. Downtown Dubai, Dubai Mall and the Dubai International Financial Centre are the destinations tenants and clients are most likely to travel to.

Try the routes yourself at the hours your staff and clients would use them, and check how a visitor would find the entrance and where they would park.

Other buildings in Business Bay you can compare

Looking at two or three with the same list of questions is the quickest way to see what a tower really offers. Several below are still under construction, which is a different purchase from a finished tower, so compare the stage as well as the price.

A checklist for taking an office in Grosvenor Office Tower

The tower is finished, so most steps are about confirming what you are shown. Take this list with you.

1. Ask for each suite's floor, exact area and floor plan, and what is included, such as partitions, ceilings and existing fit-out.
2. If you are buying, ask to see the title deed and confirm that the seller's name matches the owner on it.
3. Ask for the owners' association service charge budget for the building, and what it covers, including lifts, security and common areas.
4. Ask whether central air conditioning is included in the service charge or billed separately.
5. Check with the licensing authority that your trade licence activity can be registered at this address, before you commit.
6. Ask how many parking bays come with the suite, where they are, and where visitors park.
7. Visit at different times, such as arrival time on a weekday morning, lunchtime and the end of the working day, to see the lifts, the lobby and the activity on Bay Avenue.
8. Stand at the suite's windows to see the view, check the afternoon glare, and ask the building management what approval is needed before fit-out work.
9. If you are leasing, ask in writing what the rent includes. After you sign, register the lease in Ejari and keep the contract, the Ejari certificate and every payment receipt.
10. If you are buying, complete the transfer through Dubai Land Department and check that the new title deed carries your name.
