About Dubai Internet City

Dubai Internet City (DIC) is the UAE's flagship technology and media free zone, sitting on the western edge of the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor between Dubai Marina and Barsha Heights. It's where regional headquarters for Microsoft, Google, LinkedIn, and dozens of mid-tier tech firms share postcodes with a growing residential and hospitality pipeline. Our take: DIC is one of the few Dubai addresses that genuinely earns its premium — the tenant base is high-income, the infrastructure is mature, and the incoming supply is still selective enough to protect values. If you work in tech or media, or you're an investor who wants to rent to someone who does, this is a serious address.

Frequently asked questions about Dubai Internet City

Is Dubai Internet City a freehold community?
Dubai Internet City is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai Internet City?
Yes. Dubai Internet City sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in Dubai Internet City?
Most off-plan projects in Dubai Internet City offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.
What fees should I expect when buying in Dubai Internet City?
Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing.
