About RAK Central
RAK Central is a new business district in Ras Al Khaimah developed by Marjan, the master developer behind Al Marjan Island. The project includes RAK Central Square, a Grade A office complex with five buildings designed for corporate offices.
RAK Central Square will become the new workplace for Marjan, RAKEZ and the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, which are among the key organisations driving development and business activity in the emirate. The wider masterplan covers 8.37 million sq. ft. and is scheduled for completion by 2030, in line with RAK Vision 2030.

Ownership and Market Context
RAK Central is one of the first major business-focused projects in Ras Al Khaimah, introducing a dedicated office district to the emirate. The development of RAK Central Square is expected to bring more corporate activity to the area, creating demand for nearby housing. The plots sold out quickly after the January 2024 launch, and more than 20 developers are now building within the masterplan.
The project is also located within Ras Al Khaimah’s main growth corridor, close to Al Hamra Village and Al Marjan Island. The opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island in 2027, together with continued investment in tourism and hospitality, is expected to strengthen demand across the surrounding coastal area.
Freehold ownership is available, allowing international buyers to purchase property in an emerging business and residential location. Current projects start from around AED 800,000, with handovers planned from 2027 onwards.
