Dubai Maritime City has inaugurated Maritime Business Centre 2 (MBC-2). Billed as a premium commercial tower, the project expands Grade A office capacity within Dubai’s maritime and trade ecosystem.

The new tower, delivered in 20 months, had 78% of its space leased before its opening. This reflects the strong demand for high-quality commercial space in well-connected business districts across Dubai. The Maritime Business Centre presents a unique commercial offering, featuring 125 exclusive premium office units with waterfront views, said a statement.

Ahmed Al Hammadi, COO, Dubai Maritime City said, “The strong pre-leasing demand for Maritime Business Centre 2 reflects continued confidence in Dubai Maritime City as a strategic destination for maritime and trade-related businesses. As DP World expands into integrated urban and economic zones, projects like this show how we are creating high-quality spaces around our core infrastructure.”

The development offers 2-office categories, fully fitted plug-and-play offices enabling immediate operational readiness and shell-and-core offices that provide tenants with the flexibility to customise their workspace based on operational and branding needs.

The tower boasts a wellness floor equipped with a gym, recreational areas, retail outlets, food and beverage spaces, and 480 parking bays, including designated spaces for electric and hybrid vehicles and individuals with disabilities. Additionally, it features smart building systems designed to minimise energy consumption.

Dubai Maritime City’s headquarters, along with Jafza’s licensing department, have relocated to Maritime Business Centre 2, the organisation said.
