National Properties, the real estate arm of National Bonds, has broken ground for a 26-storey Grade A commercial tower in Barsha Heights with a development value of $136.12 million (AED 500 million), adding 225,000 square feet of net leasable office space to Dubai’s growing premium commercial inventory.
The project comes amid sustained demand in Dubai’s office market for high-specification workspaces, supported by economic growth, rising international company relocations, and expansion across sectors including technology, media and professional services.
The tower by National Properties will comprise 22 office floors and is designed by NORR Architects & Engineers. It will feature modern office layouts with efficient floorplates, advanced building systems and amenities aimed at supporting flexible and collaborative work environments.
The development will also include podium-level retail and café outlets with outdoor seating, in addition to wellness facilities such as a fully equipped gym to enhance the workplace experience.
Located in Barsha Heights, the tower offers direct connectivity to Sheikh Zayed Road and is close to key business hubs including Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City, enabling access across the emirate’s commercial ecosystem.
The building will incorporate energy-efficient systems and modern technologies aimed at improving operational performance and supporting sustainability. Construction is scheduled to begin by second quarter of 2026, with completion targeted for fourth quarter of 2028.
