Dubai Chambers launches Dubai Hub London
The new hub aligns with the leadership's vision to position Dubai as a global business capital, providing seamless access to economic, real estate and legal services under one roof. It simplifies procedures for investors and entrepreneurs while enhancing the emirate's reputation as a business-friendly destination.
Supervised by Dubai Chambers and operated by Al Burj Holding as a government service outsourcing centre, Dubai Hub London is a licensed platform that supports Dubai's global economic standing.
In its initial phase, the hub will offer services from the Dubai Land Department, Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs, and Dubai Courts. These cover property, licensing, legal, and administrative processes, with plans to expand to additional government entities in future phases.
The Dubai Land Department will offer services such as property valuation, data modification, and map issuance. The Department of Economy and Tourism will provide trade name reservations and licence issuance, renewal, and amendments. Dubai Courts will offer contract attestation, document translation, signature verification, certificate preparation, and declaration registration.
Dubai Hub London will also offer real estate services in collaboration with major property developers from Dubai.
Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, said the launch reflects Dubai's commitment to supporting investors abroad in line with the directives of the leadership and the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33).
He added, 'We are focused on enhancing Dubai's competitiveness and ensuring convenient access to services for our international clients. The launch of Dubai Hub sends a clear message: facilitating business for global investors is our top priority.'
Dubai Hub London aims to strengthen ties between Dubai and the UK and create new opportunities for investment. London was selected for the first hub due to its global financial status and access to a broad investor base seeking to tap into Dubai's growing market.
Dubai's flexible regulatory framework, advanced infrastructure, and strategic global location have positioned it as a top investment destination. The emirate retained its number one global ranking for foreign direct investment attraction for the fourth consecutive year in 2024, according to the Financial Times' fDi Markets.

Rent prices in Dubai are dropping
Living in Dubai brings its perks, great weather, safety, endless opportunities, just to name a few. Let's be honest, it comes with a cost and a significant one is rent in Dubai. While Dubai rent prices don't top the list compared to other cities around the world, but it's still a major monthly expense for residents. So, the cheaper we can get it, the better. Gulf News has recently reported that rent prices around the city have dropped in the last few months, including studio and 1-bedroom apartments even though there has been a huge crackdown on illegal subletting and partitioning and demand for these has now gone up. Discovery Gardens has seen a decline of 1% in the last two months, usually studios in this area cost Dhs48,000 to Dhs60,000 and 1-bedroom apartments go for Dhs50,000 to Dhs105,000. Gulf News also reports that International City rents have remained the same, even though it has been a popular spot for subletting. 1-bedrooms are costing Dhs48,000 to Dhs55,000. Eima Hajimalan, Manager at GCP Properties has stated that 'Even if there is increased demand for studios and 1-bed units, rents will still be dictated by that building's star rating in the Dubai Rental Index. There is nothing to suggest that rents on these property types are increasing.' What is the Dubai Smart Rental Index? The Smart Rental Index is a tool by Dubai Land Department to assist with fairness and transparency with rental prices for both tenants and owners. It was unveiled early this year in 2025 and includes data of old and new buildings, average rent in the building and the area, along with technical and service aspects of the building in particular. You can access it through the Dubai Land Departments website.

Dubai Centre for Family Businesses introduces three new advisory services to enhance governance and growth within family enterprises
The Dubai Centre for Family Businesses, which operates under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, has launched three new specialised advisory services to support the sustainable growth of family businesses. The initiative aims to strengthen the governance of family-owned enterprises operating in Dubai, enhancing their future readiness and enabling them to navigate the evolving economic landscape, overcome challenges, and capitalise on promising opportunities. The new services reflect the Dubai Centre for Family Businesses' ongoing commitment to enhancing the economic contribution of family businesses in support of Dubai's future development plans. The centre aims to strengthen the competitiveness of this vital sector by safeguarding its interests, streamlining operations, and investing in leadership development to ensure long-term sustainability. H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, commented: 'Family businesses remain a vital engine of growth, diversification, and innovation within Dubai's economy. Ensuring their continued success is essential to enhancing the emirate's competitiveness and driving sustainable long-term growth. The Dubai Centre for Family Businesses is committed to empowering these companies to navigate economic developments and embrace global best practices, which contributes towards strengthening the local private sector and reinforcing Dubai's position as a global hub for trade and investment.' The first new service is the Current-State Assessment & Family Constitution Review, which offers an in-depth evaluation of a family business's current governance framework. This includes a thorough review of existing Family Constitutions, leveraging the centre's automated Family Business Governance Assessment Tool to evaluate the maturity of their governance processes against regulatory requirements, leading industry practices, and global standards. Complementing this assessment, individual interviews with key family and business stakeholders are conducted to identify any gaps and challenges within existing structures, providing actionable recommendations for improvement. This service assesses governance frameworks, identifies gaps and risks, encourages alignment among stakeholders, and provides tailored recommendations for enhanced governance and long-term growth. The second service, Family Constitution Drafting, provides a strategic roadmap for family businesses, outlining policies, governance structures, and decision-making processes crucial for long-term sustainability. The centre will assist in drafting these vital documents, drawing insights from interviews with family members and key stakeholders. Through facilitated workshops and discussions, the service ensures alignment and buy-in from all family members, designing a document that captures their collective vision and values, alongside clear nomination, eligibility criteria, and decision-making processes relevant to the organisation's governing bodies. This service defines roles and responsibilities, formalises shared vision and values, fosters open dialogue, and establishes clear rules to prevent future conflicts. The third new service is the Family Office Blueprint service, which guides families in establishing a private platform dedicated to managing their wealth, investments, and personal affairs. The centre facilitates workshops designed to enhance understanding of Family Offices, supporting families in defining their specific objectives, the range of services it will provide, and the necessary staffing requirements. This service clarifies the purpose, scope, and strategic goals of a Family Office, explores the full range of services for wealth management and legacy planning, and identifies the key skills and roles required for an effective Family Office structure. Full details of the new services are available on the centre's official website.
