About me

Data-driven. Relationship-led.

For 25 years, my work has been about one thing: helping businesses in the Gulf make complex decisions with confidence.

I built my career in B2B technology, data and insights across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the lower Gulf. Here, I learned to read markets through numbers and to navigate deals where boards, partners, family offices and government stakeholders all have a seat at the table.

That is exactly what commercial real estate demands. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing or letting, I bring a data-driven view of value, a negotiator's patience, and a talent for aligning many voices behind one outcome.

I'm Lebanese by birth and heritage, a long-time Gulf expat, and fluent in English, Arabic and French. I'm at home across cultures, but my roots are firmly planted in Dubai and the Khaleeji way of doing business, where trust is earned and relationships come first.

As a father of two daughters, I think about property the way families and founders do: as a long-term foundation, not a quick transaction. Today I put that experience to work for investors and businesses looking for the right commercial space or a reliable passive income stream in Dubai. I'm the advisor who tells you what the data says and what's truly right for you.

Market insights · Dubai office market, Q3 2026

What the data says right now

After five years of rapid growth, Dubai's office market is stabilising: rents are holding at high levels, Grade A space is still scarce, and new supply is finally arriving.

For tenants

Rents have plateaued and some secondary space is returning to the market, so there is more room to negotiate on terms, rent-free periods and fit-out than a year ago. Prime Grade A space remains tight; plan early.

For landlords

Demand is led by smaller units. Well-fitted, competitively priced offices let fastest, while overpriced space now sits longer as occupiers take more time to decide.

For investors

Occupancy and rents remain at historically high levels, and limited new supply until 2028 supports income. Buy on yield and location, not on last year's growth rate.
