Dubai CommerCity

Free zone licensing

Companies can take e-commerce, trade, industrial (light manufacturing, packaging and assembly), service or general trading licences. A dual licence with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) is available without a physical mainland office. Without it, goods entering the mainland clear customs and local sales go through a licensed distributor or a mainland company.

Our view for tenants

CommerCity suits online sellers that want fulfilment, offices and customs clearance support in one free zone close to the airport and the city. You can start in shared, pay-as-you-go warehousing and move to a dedicated unit. Space is limited to the zone’s own buildings, so large or specialised requirements may fit better elsewhere.

Our view for investors

DIEZ and Wasl plan a second phase worth more than AED 1.8 billion between Q1 2027 and Q4 2028, and DIEZ reports 96% occupancy across its three zones in H1 2026 (DIEZ, 2026). Space is developed by the zone’s joint venture, so check how outside capital could take part before planning an investment.
