Area Overview

Description

Dubai Internet City (DIC) is an incredibly powerful, technology-focused free zone masterminded by the TECOM Group (partnered with the Dubai Government) directly along the iconic Sheikh Zayed Road. Functioning strictly as the Middle East’s premier IT and business hub, it delivers over 1.5 million sq ft of heavy commercial office space. The zoning is commercial, possessing only a highly restricted number of residential and hotel-apartment blocks (with massive housing stock pushed into bordering Barsha Heights and The Views). Crucially, the district is completely anchored by its very own Red Line metro station.
