Commercial Building
Overview
Office stock
I-Rise Tower's approximately 534-unit inventory positions it as one of the highest-unit-count commercial buildings in Al Barsha Heights, accommodating a broad spectrum from individual SMEs to mid-size regional businesses and corporate users. The TECOM free zone proximity attracts technology, media, and knowledge-economy tenants consistent with the broader Al Barsha Heights submarket profile. Retail and restaurant outlets at ground and podium level provide on-site occupier amenity. Upper floors provide Arabian Gulf views that support premium pricing for select units within the strata offering, differentiating the upper-floor inventory from standard mid-floor stock and supporting a within-building pricing gradient.
Rental rates
I-Rise Tower is positioned in the mid-to-upper tier of the Al Barsha Heights strata leasing market. Its 2014 Grade A specification, Arabian Gulf upper-floor views, and exceptional car parking provision of approximately 2,297 spaces — one of the highest ratios in the submarket — support competitive rental demand and occupier retention. The scale of inventory provides flexibility in unit sizing and configuration for prospective occupiers. The parking depth is a genuine and measurable differentiator in the Al Barsha Heights context, where parking supply is a recurring occupier concern. The 534-unit count supports a wide range of spatial requirements across the leasing market.
Sales prices
As a freehold strata asset with approximately 534 units and an estimated 698,000 square feet of net leasable area, I-Rise Tower provides among the deepest liquidity pools in the Al Barsha Heights strata investment market. The 2014 delivery vintage, distinctive wave-like architectural form, and rooftop helipad support capital values above the submarket average for comparable vintage assets. Gross yields are competitive within the TECOM mid-to-upper tier, with parking depth and Gulf views adding a premium for upper-floor units. The scale of the inventory supports consistent secondary market transaction volume.

These figures are registered per square metre — the unit the source data is recorded in, and the unit the basis line above describes. Shown here per square foot, divided by 10.7639, the exact number of square feet in a square metre. Nothing is estimated or re-measured — switch back to m² to read each figure exactly as registered.
The Dubai Land Department publishes rental contracts at project/tower level — there are no unit numbers in the register, so these figures describe the tower, not any specific unit.
Location and access
The tower is located within the Al Barsha Heights (TECOM) free zone cluster, accessible via the TECOM internal road network and Sheikh Zayed Road. The Dubai Internet City Metro Station (Red Line) is within proximity. The surrounding district provides access to Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, and Dubai Knowledge Village free zone infrastructure. Dubai International Airport is approximately 25 to 30 minutes by road in off-peak conditions. The building's exceptional parking provision reduces occupier dependency on public transport and is a material competitive advantage in the TECOM context.
Risks
The approximately 534-unit strata inventory creates significant absorption risk; a high number of units available simultaneously can depress rental and capital pricing across the building. The scale also introduces strata management complexity, with a large number of individual unit owners requiring effective governance structures to maintain building quality. Competition from The One Tower, which sits directly above the metro station, applies persistent pressure at the premium end of the submarket. Reported floor area and unit count data should be verified against current listings, as strata databases occasionally reflect unit splits or consolidations. Service charge levels and the owners' association's reserve fund position should be confirmed before committing. Prospective lessees should also assess the strata management quality given the building's scale and the number of individual unit owners involved.
Perspective
I-Rise Tower is a substantial and architecturally distinctive TECOM office asset whose exceptional parking provision delivers genuine, quantifiable occupier value in a submarket where parking availability is a persistent concern. The rooftop helipad and Arabian Gulf upper-floor views are meaningful differentiators that support premium positioning within the building. The scale of the unit inventory provides investment liquidity that smaller strata buildings in the submarket cannot match. Best suited to investors targeting depth and liquidity at the mid-to-upper TECOM tier, and to occupiers prioritising parking provision, architectural identity, and flexibility of floorspace options within the TECOM free zone cluster.
