How Flexible is Flexible? A presentation by JLL


Speaker: Craig Plumb, Head of MENA Research, JLL

 The discussion

Craig discussed and provided the following information:

  1. Dubai office market overview based on the JLL’s report for Q4-2017 included UAE and Dubai macroeconomic overview; prime rental clock; office supply and performance.
  2. Workspace, reworked included technology and organizational changes as the main factors influencing the Real Estate change; workplace as service; locating the new workforces and change in action/co-working.
  3. Mapping the growth of flexible office space included defining the flexible office space; different co-working and service models as well as other models and the case study done for central London showing how flexible working drives office activity.
  4. Flexible office space in Dubai included the limited supply of co-working space; the market shares of top 3 operators: Regus, Myoffice and Servcorp.

The summary

Flexible ways of working are requiring more flexible office space solutions. While not a major part of the office landscape in the Middle East to date, flexible office space is a growing global trend that will have a major impact upon local markets over the next 5 years.

About 320,000 m2 space leased to co-working operators in central London over last 4 years (15% of total absorption).

Dubai currently has limited supply of co-working space (about 80,000 m2) which is about only 1% of the total office space.

Regulatory environment has been the major constrains in Dubai but this may change with more flexible regulations in the future.
