What Bay Square is
Bay Square is a cluster of mid-rise buildings in Business Bay arranged around open plazas. Most space is offices, shops and restaurants, with some residential buildings. The result is a walkable, village-like setting that feels different from the high-rise towers around it.
Check the building's use
Because Bay Square mixes uses, confirm whether the building is residential or commercial before you go further. The use affects financing, Ejari type and who can lease it. Our buying an office in Dubai and commercial Ejari guides cover the commercial side.
What to inspect
- Noise: restaurants and plaza activity can carry into the evening.
- Light and outlook: low-rise units may face plazas or neighbouring buildings.
- Upkeep: check lifts, lobbies and the condition of shared spaces.
- Parking: confirm allocated bays and visitor parking.
- Rules: ask about fit-out approvals and signage rules for offices.
Service charges
Commercial and residential buildings can have different service-charge structures. Ask for the latest Mollak statement for the specific building and confirm the approved budget.
