DIP 2·Developer: —
This is a leasehold commercial labour camp in DIP 2 with 180 units, a 71,002 sqft built-up area, and a restaurant with 1,080-person capacity. It is fully rented and priced at AED 42,000,000, making it most relevant to investors seeking an income-producing staff accommodation asset in Dubai.
Located within Dubai Investment Park 2 (DIP 2) — one of the UAE's most active industrial and mixed-use corridors — this fully operational labour accommodation complex presents investors with a ready-income, large-scale commercial asset. The complex comprises 180 self-contained units across a total built-up area of 71,002 sq ft, occupying a plot of 32,292 sq ft, and is offered on a leasehold basis at an asking price of AED 42,000,000.
At the time of listing, the complex carries a fully rented status — all 180 units are occupied, meaning the asset generates income from day one of ownership rather than requiring a lease-up period. The listed indicative annual rent is AED 6,400,000, with a current annual lease obligation of AED 434,700. A key differentiating feature is the on-site restaurant with a stated seating capacity of 1,080 persons, which serves the resident workforce and provides an operational amenity well beyond the baseline offering of a standard worker accommodation block.
DIP 2's position within the broader Dubai Investment Park master development places this asset in direct proximity to major logistics operators, light-industry facilities, and the arterial road network connecting Dubai South and Jebel Ali Free Zone. This concentration of employment-generating activity creates structural, recurring demand for compliant large-scale worker housing — the fundamental driver of occupancy stability for labour accommodation assets. Buyers who want a wider understanding of how this asset class sits within Dubai's commercial property landscape will find the Commercial Real Estate Dubai: Office and Warehouse Guide (2026) a useful comparing industrial-zone asset types and their typical demand drivers.
