Developer

Lamar Development delivers iconic, minimalist luxury projects globally. Its collaborations include David Chipperfield, Studio MK27, Patricia Urquiola, and more. Lamar's Dubai portfolio includes The Muse Hotels, Park Lamar, and high-end residences that blend form, wellness, and community.

Market Outlook Shared by the Developer

Dubai’s prime office market is under-supplied, with <1% YoY growth forecasted in premium inventory through 2026. Business Bay remains one of the most undersupplied areas for institutional-grade offices.

Bureau Lamar addresses this gap with a rare opportunity to acquire full-floor prime offices at below-market rates in the pre-concept phase—well-positioned for significant capital appreciation.
