Area Overview

Description

Dubai Studio City is an engineered, purpose-built media and entertainment free zone developed by the TECOM Group. Launched around 2005 and spanning an astonishing 22 million sq ft, it dominates as the MENA region’s absolute largest supplier of massive sound stages, sprawling backlots, and elite recording studios (famously hosting monumental global blockbusters like Star Trek Beyond and Mission: Impossible). Strategically sitting next to Al Qudra Road (D63) in Al Barsha South, the zoning is fundamentally commercial. However, it successfully integrates highly lucrative residential apartment towers (strictly no villas or townhouses exist here).
