DMCC has unveiled One Uptown Place and Two Uptown Place, a pair of premium commercial towers in its flagship Uptown Dubai district, marking another step forward in the area’s ongoing expansion.
The project will deliver more than 560,000 square feet of Grade A office space, pushing the district’s total commercial capacity past 1 million square feet. Leasing is set to begin in the second half of the year, with completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2028.
Flexible offices and premium amenities
Rising 21 and 15 storeys, respectively, the towers are designed to serve a broad range of tenants, from multinational corporations to rapidly growing firms. Office sizes will range between 2,100 and 17,600 square feet, with select floors offering connected multi-level layouts linked by private staircases, an option tailored to larger occupiers seeking integrated workspaces.
The development will also include around 82,000 square feet of retail space, further strengthening Uptown Dubai’s appeal as a mixed-use destination that blends commercial, retail and lifestyle elements within a cohesive setting.
Uptown Place towers strengthen finance, tech ecosystem
The expansion aligns with DMCC’s efforts to develop new ecosystems in finance and capital markets, highlighted by the recent launch of FinX and the Wealth Hub. These initiatives aim to attract financial institutions, fintech companies, alternative lenders and digital asset firms, driving increased demand for high-quality office space in well-connected locations.
Designed by Brewer Smith Brewer Group, the towers will prioritize functionality and user experience, featuring amenities such as in-building dining, retail outlets and a swimming pool. The project will also offer more than 1,600 parking spaces with valet services, along with a dedicated shuttle link to the Dubai Metro.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing will provide sweeping views of the district, while 13 destination-controlled elevators and inter-floor connectivity are intended to boost efficiency, particularly for larger tenants.

“Businesses are increasingly prioritizing environments that combine connectivity, flexibility and access to capital and markets. With One Uptown Place and Two Uptown Place, we are adding over 560,000 square feet of Grade A office space, taking Uptown Dubai’s total commercial capacity beyond 1 million square feet. The towers are designed to accommodate a wide range of occupiers, featuring office configurations from 2,100 to 17,600 square feet, including integrated multi-level layouts. This reflects the scale and sophistication of demand we are seeing across trade, finance and technology. As we continue to build out ecosystems for the next generation of businesses, including DMCC Wealth Hub, FinX and the Maritime Centre, Uptown Dubai is evolving into a fully integrated district, offering companies a premium and connected platform to grow and operate globally.”
The Uptown Place towers are targeting LEED Gold certification, incorporating energy- and water-efficient systems, solar-controlled glazing and improved indoor environmental quality. DMCC is currently inviting expressions of interest from potential tenants ahead of formal leasing later this year, as it continues to position Uptown Dubai as a next-generation hub for global trade, finance and emerging technologies.
