Independent 42-Room Labour Accommodation for Sale in Al Quoz – 180-Person Capacity | Fully Rented Income Asset
Al Quoz, Dubai·Developer: —
Description
This fully rented, standalone labour accommodation facility in Al Quoz Industrial Area, Dubai offers investors a ready-made, multi-tenant income asset at a listed asking price of AED 11,000,000 (net to owner). With 42 rooms configured to house between four and six persons each, the building carries a total approved capacity of 180 persons — making it one of the more substantial independent worker-accommodation blocks available for direct purchase in this established industrial corridor.
The property is classified as a leasehold asset, with land held under an annually renewable lease payable to DREC (Dubai Real Estate Corporation) at the prevailing market rate. Buyers should factor this ongoing land-lease obligation into their acquisition modelling alongside the one-time costs: a VAT charge of 5% on the selling price (applicable if triggered — payable by the buyer) and estimated transfer charges of approximately AED 50,000 to AED 100,000. For a precise read on what cap rates and net yields look like for income-producing commercial assets of this type in Dubai right now, the Dubai Commercial Cap Rates 2026 analysis provides a useful benchmark.
The building is currently fully occupied across all tenancies, meaning rental income is active from day one of ownership — a meaningful distinction for buyers prioritising immediate cash flow over a lease-up period. The mixed-layout room configuration (four to six persons per room) gives the asset flexibility to accommodate varying workforce sizes, which is relevant in Al Quoz's dense ecosystem of logistics operators, light manufacturers, and service contractors.
Before committing to any commercial acquisition of this scale, understanding the VAT exposure on the transaction is essential. The guide to the 5% VAT obligation on Dubai commercial property explains the scenarios under which the charge applies and how buyers typically structure the payment — particularly important given that 5% of AED 11,000,000 represents a significant additional line item.
For context on how labour camps and worker accommodation compare to offices and warehouses as investment vehicles within Dubai's broader commercial landscape, the Dubai commercial real estate office and warehouse guide covers the sector dynamics that underpin demand in industrial zones such as Al Quoz.
