DMCC, the international business district that facilitates global trade through Dubai, has announced the launch of two office towers – One Uptown Place and Two Uptown Place – within its Uptown Dubai district. The development marks the latest phase in the district’s expansion and will push its total commercial footprint beyond one million square feet.
The two towers, comprising 21 and 15 storeys respectively, are designed by Brewer Smith Brewer Group. Leasing is expected to open during the second half of this year, with construction scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2028.
The towers will accommodate a range of occupiers, from multinational corporations to firms in earlier stages of growth. Office units will span from 2,100 square feet to 17,600 square feet.

Select floors will feature multi-level layouts connected by private staircases, a configuration intended for larger tenants that require cohesion across their operations.
The development will also incorporate 82,000 square feet of retail space, reinforcing Uptown Dubai’s positioning as a destination that brings together office, retail and lifestyle uses within a connected environment.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing will offer views across the district. Thirteen destination-controlled elevators and inter-floor connectivity are included to support the needs of larger occupiers.
Both towers will include in-building dining and retail outlets, as well as a swimming pool. The development will provide more than 1,600 parking spaces with valet services and a dedicated shuttle connection to the Dubai Metro.
Both buildings are targeting LEED Gold certification. The scheme incorporates energy- and water-efficiency systems, solar-controlled glazing and indoor environmental standards aligned with that accreditation.
DMCC said the expansion coincides with its work to build ecosystems in finance and capital markets. The organisation recently launched FinX and a Wealth Hub, both positioned to anchor financial institutions, fintech platforms, alternative lenders and digital asset firms within the district. The growth of these sectors, DMCC said, is driving demand for office space in well-connected locations.
“Businesses are increasingly prioritising environments that combine connectivity, flexibility and access to capital and markets. With One Uptown Place and Two Uptown Place, we are adding over 560,000 square feet of Grade A office space, taking Uptown Dubai’s total commercial capacity beyond 1 million square feet. The towers are designed to accommodate a wide range of occupiers, featuring office configurations from 2,100 to 17,600 square feet, including integrated multi-level layouts. This reflects the scale and sophistication of demand we are seeing across trade, finance and technology. As we continue to build out ecosystems for the next generation of businesses, including DMCC Wealth Hub, FinX and the Maritime Centre, Uptown Dubai is evolving into a fully integrated district, offering companies a premium and connected platform to grow and operate globally,” Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DMCC said in a statement.
DMCC is currently accepting expressions of interest from prospective tenants ahead of formal leasing later this year, as the organisation continues to develop Uptown Dubai as a hub for global trade, finance and emerging technologies.
