Master developer Limitless has entered into a new partnership with real estate advisors DTZ to ramp up leasing activity at The Galleries at Downtown Jebel Ali.

A-grade office space is available in The Galleries’ first four commercial towers, where a growing list of household names such as Ericsson, Kraft, Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank have already moved in, with more commercial and retail contracts under negotiation, according to a company spokesperson.

Within easy reach of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, The Galleries offers tailor-made accommodation featuring onsite property and facilities management services. Business can lease from 1,000 to 15,000 sq ft per floor, on single or multiple floors.

“Working with DTZ, we look forward to welcoming more local and international companies, food and beverage firms and other retailers to The Galleries, which is fast becoming known for its top-flight facilities, convenient location and community-style environment,” said Salah Ameen, Limitless deputy executive director, Middle East.

“The market is now seeing increased occupier activity and we are experiencing good levels of demand for office accommodation, particularly those with Metro access,” added Philip Gray, UAE country manager for DTZ.

The Galleries – an eight building mix of offices, homes, retail and recreational space – is set in landscaped grounds with podium gardens, pools, fountains and a 300-seat amphitheatre. It is within walking distance of a Metro station. It will offer residential units for lease from the first half of 2010.-TradeArabia News Service
