About Savills Dubai

Savills is one of the oldest real estate firms in the world, tracing its history to 1855. The Dubai office operates as part of Savills' broader Middle East network and handles a range of mandates across commercial, residential and investment property — work that often involves cross-border clients from Europe, Asia and the Americas looking to enter the UAE market.

The firm's commercial practice in Dubai has historically been one of its stronger divisions, with experience in office and retail leasing for both landlords and corporate tenants. Their tenant representation service — advising companies on where to locate their UAE operations, negotiating lease terms and benchmarking rental rates — is used regularly by multinationals and professional services firms establishing or expanding in the region.

Savills Dubai also publishes regular market research on Dubai commercial and residential property, which is used by investors and developers to benchmark market conditions. Like Knight Frank, the research function gives Savills credibility beyond pure brokerage and makes the firm a relevant contact for institutional and family office investors who want analysis before committing to a market.

Frequently asked questions

How does Savills compare to Knight Frank in Dubai?

Both are global real estate consultancies with Dubai offices in DIFC. Savills has traditionally had a stronger commercial and corporate occupier practice in Dubai — office leasing, tenant representation and commercial investment. Knight Frank is arguably better known for prime residential and its annual Wealth Report, which has strong influence with luxury property investors globally. For commercial office requirements, comparing both on recent Dubai track record is advisable. For prime residential and cross-border investor introductions, Knight Frank's network may edge ahead.

Is Savills good for commercial property in Dubai?

Savills has a well-regarded commercial practice in Dubai. Their corporate occupier team advises multinationals on Dubai office strategy, lease negotiation and workspace planning, which is useful for companies establishing or expanding regional headquarters. For landlords, they provide commercial agency services across DIFC, Business Bay and other key districts.

Does Savills Dubai handle residential property?

Yes. Savills Dubai operates a prime residential sales and leasing team alongside its commercial practice. They concentrate on the upper end of the residential market — Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Downtown Dubai — and are more commonly seen on trophy asset transactions than mainstream residential sales. For mid-market residential, a local specialist brokerage will typically have wider inventory and more competitive fees.

Does Savills publish market research on Dubai?

Yes. Savills Dubai releases regular research on both the commercial and residential markets, including rental and sales price analysis, supply pipeline forecasts and occupancy data. These reports are publicly available on the Savills website and are used by investors, developers and the media as a market benchmark.
