and industrial markets are growing increasingly tighter<\/strong>, with tenants holding onto their locations amid increasing demand and more limited quality stock, according to Cavendish Maxwell\u2019s latest <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/1\/340.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Dubai Retail and Warehouse Market Performance report (pdf)<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Retail occupancy is at an all-time high<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Retail leasing slowed sharply in 3Q 2025<\/strong>, falling 32.2% y-o-y as well-located space dried up, while renewal contracts rose 6.1% as tenants prioritized holding onto proven locations over testing new ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Occupancy is enforcing that inertia:<\/strong> With major mall operators including Emaar and Majid Al Futtaim operating at around 98% occupancy, churn has become harder to execute in practice. Near-full utilization is limiting retailers\u2019 ability to relocate \u2014 and shifting negotiating power firmly toward landlords.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This has hiked rental rates by around 7% to 15% across key districts<\/strong>, Cavendish Maxwell said, while transactions rose 78.7% q-o-q and 27.2% y-o-y, pushing quarterly transaction value past AED 1.1 bn for the first time. Growth was driven largely by off-plan transactions, up 64.7% y-o-y, while ready-unit volumes held steady.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What\u2019s wrong with your local community mall? <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Demand for Dubai has not softened despite the lack of stock<\/strong> \u2014 instead, near-capacity conditions are reshaping how brands operate. Dubai\u2019s retail market is leaving brands with three constrained choices as competition for flagship sites intensifies: \u201cpay a premium for prime space, accept longer waiting times, or take calculated risks in emerging community locations,\u201d Ali Siddiqui, research manager at Cavendish Maxwell, told EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The squeeze is producing a split between \u201cdestination brands, who are waiting for space in flagship malls,\u201d and \u201cdaily-life brands<\/strong>, which are now targeting community malls.\u201d As flagship supply hardens, centers such as Circle Mall and City Center Me'aisem are drawing \u201cwellness and health concepts, convenience outlets, specialty grocers, homegrown F&B brands, and essential services,\u201d supported by resident-led daily footfall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Warehousing: Scarcity with no release valve <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Even tighter than retail: <\/strong>Industrial space is locking up faster still. New warehouse leases fell 60.2% y-o-y, while renewals surged 62.2%, highlighting acute scarcity in logistics and last-mile locations. Average warehouse rents rose 16.8% y-o-y, led by Jebel Ali at 21.3%, reflecting sustained pressure on port-adjacent supply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Short terms dominate, for now: <\/strong>Lease structures remain conservative despite tightening conditions. \u201cThe majority of both new leases and renewals continue to be structured as one-year terms, accounting for around 95% of all lease activity,\u201d Siddiqui said. Still, longer commitments are edging higher, with the share of new contracts signed for extended periods rising to 4.0% in 2025 from 3.0% the year before, signaling a gradual shift toward certainty over flexibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Why supply isn\u2019t catching up<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>According to Siddiqui, delivery timelines are not the full story.<\/strong> \u201cThe more critical limitation is that much of the existing stock was not designed to meet modern logistics needs,\u201d he said. While developers are adapting, new assets take time to deliver, and pre-leasing is already absorbing incoming supply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Demand isn\u2019t easing: <\/strong>E-commerce growth, population inflows, tourism, and Dubai\u2019s role as a regional logistics hub continue to underpin demand across both retail and industrial segments, reinforcing a market skewed toward renewals and continuity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Looking ahead<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Cavendish Maxwell expects rental momentum across both retail and warehousing to persist into the medium term<\/strong>, with supply constraints likely to keep bargaining power tilted toward landlords.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/dubai\/\">Dubai<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/real-estate\/\">Real estate<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"111516 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"111516\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/01\/15\/111516\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-111516\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-111516 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HassanAllamProperties?_rdc=1&amp;_rdr#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/ads\/imgs\/432.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"111517\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"111517\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">MOVES<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/01\/15\/new-cfo-at-al-ansari\/\">\r\n                            Al Ansari taps new CFO                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/01\/15\/new-cfo-at-al-ansari\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
