DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- D/Quarters, the provider of state-of-the-art co-working spaces by TECOM Group PJSC, has doubled the size of its centrally located offices at Dubai Science Park to address rising demand for agile and future-focused workspaces in the city.

D/Quarters Expansion at Dubai Science Park

D/Quarters' modern spaces at Dubai Science Park, the region's leading ecosystem for companies in the life, energy, and environment sciences, were launched in July 2023. The expansion follows a period of accelerated demand for collaborative workspaces as talented individuals and innovators choose to live, work, and invest in Dubai.

Dubai's office segment reflects the impact of this demand growth, with TECOM Group's commercial and industrial portfolio of Grade-A assets recording occupancy levels of 94% in the first nine months of 2024. D/Quarters at Dubai Science Park is strategically located in proximity to key neighbourhoods such as Downtown Dubai and communities along Al Qudra Road.

Demand from both new pharmaceutical companies and existing clients at the expanded facility, spanning almost 27,000 sq.ft. at Dubai Science Park, reaffirms the vital role of D/Quarters, which serves more than 1,000 customers across two centres with agile co-working solutions, in meeting the evolving needs of Dubai's talent pool.
