Dubai Maritime City, one of DP World’s flagship developments, has inaugurated its new Maritime Business Centre 2 (MBC-2), a $43.56 million (AED160 million) premium commercial tower aimed at expanding Grade A office capacity within Dubai’s maritime and trade ecosystem.
Located in the Commercial District of Dubai Maritime City, the new tower was delivered within 20 months, with 78 percent of its space leased before inauguration, underscoring strong demand for high-quality commercial offices in strategically connected business districts across Dubai.
The Maritime Business Centre 2 features 125 premium office units ranging from 40 to 980 square meters, offering waterfront views.
The project includes two office categories: fully fitted plug-and-play offices designed for immediate operational readiness, and shell-and-core offices that allow tenants to customize workspaces according to operational and branding requirements.
The tower also includes a wellness floor equipped with a gym, recreational facilities, retail outlets, food and beverage spaces, and 480 parking bays. Dedicated parking has been allocated for electric and hybrid vehicles as well as People of Determination.
The building also incorporates smart systems aimed at reducing energy consumption. Dubai Maritime City’s headquarters, alongside Jafza’s licensing department, have officially relocated to Maritime Business Centre 2.
