Which freehold zones let foreigners buy commercial property in Dubai?
Foreigners can buy commercial freehold in designated zones including Business Bay, JLT, DIFC, Dubai Marina, Barsha Heights (Tecom) and Dubai South, plus industrial areas like Dubai Investment Park. As of 2026 there are 60+ freehold areas, and the list keeps growing as new master communities launch. Outside these zones, foreigners hold leasehold rights of 30-50 years rather than outright ownership.
