Fountain-View Retail Unit in Souk Al Bahar · 1,180 sq ft

A first-floor unit in Souk Al Bahar with a terrace over the Dubai Fountain — one of the few F&B spaces here to come up this year.

The unit is handed over shell and core with services capped, so the fit-out can follow the brand's own standards, subject to landlord and Dubai Municipality approval. It is on the mainland, so the occupier licenses with Dubai Economy and Tourism.

The Arabesque souk on the Burj Lake, with restaurant terraces facing the Dubai Fountain and a bridge to Dubai Mall. It is a Grade A building of 3 floors, completed in 2008.

The rent is AED 472,000 a year (AED 400 per sq ft), payable in 4 cheques. As with most commercial leases in Dubai the landlord carries the service charge; DEWA and chiller are paid on consumption. Budget for 5% VAT on the rent, a security deposit of around 10%, the agency fee and Ejari registration.

• Terrace seating approved
• Gas and extract connection available
• Evening footfall from the fountain shows
• Built-up area of 1,180 sq ft
• Condition: shell and core
