DUBAI, UAE: Friday 2nd May 2025 — As international companies increasingly relocate their regional headquarters to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the demand for flexible, premium office space across the region is accelerating. The Place, a leading provider of fully serviced offices, has reported a significant rise in enquiries from businesses aiming to establish or expand operations in two of the region’s fastest-growing commercial hubs: Dubai and Riyadh.

This surge aligns with broader economic trends. Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have made substantial investments in infrastructure, governance reform, and business regulation simplification, making them attractive markets for businesses seeking to enter or strengthen their presence in the Middle East. As regulatory frameworks evolve and economic diversification continues under long-term national strategies, more firms are choosing to establish regional bases in cities that offer both global accessibility and pro-business ecosystems.

In the wake of these developments, The Place has observed a wave of demand from startups, scale-ups, and multinational enterprises alike seeking agile workspace solutions that offer convenience, scalability, and immediate operational readiness. The growth in demand spans multiple sectors, including technology, finance, and consulting, signaling a regional shift toward flexible work environments.

“With global and regional businesses setting up operations in the UAE and KSA, we’re witnessing record demand for high-quality, flexible office space in Dubai and office space in Riyadh,” said a spokesperson for The Place. “Companies are prioritizing agility, scalability, and convenience, which is exactly what our serviced private offices deliver.”

Unlike traditional commercial leases that require long-term commitments, upfront capital investment, and lengthy setup periods, serviced office solutions are proving essential for companies entering new markets, managing distributed or hybrid teams, or responding to evolving operational needs. With the ability to move in quickly, access fully equipped workspaces, and adjust space requirements on demand, these solutions eliminate friction and offer the simplicity and professionalism that modern businesses increasingly depend on to stay competitive in fast-paced environments.

The Place offers a portfolio of workspace solutions tailored to companies undergoing regional transitions or launching operations in the region. Designed to eliminate setup friction, the fully equipped and professionally managed spaces support a range of industries and business sizes, from early-stage ventures to established enterprises.

Serviced offices also give companies access to high-quality, ready-to-use environments without the burden of managing logistics, infrastructure, or facility maintenance. This enables teams to focus on execution, strategic initiatives, and business growth rather than day-to-day operations and administrative tasks. The convenience, and operational readiness of these offices are part of what makes them so attractive to businesses looking to move fast, stay agile, and maintain a professional presence in competitive and dynamic markets.

The increase in enquiries also reflects a broader mindset shift: office space is no longer just a fixed expense; it’s a service that must adapt alongside business needs. For many organizations, flexibility, operational support, and the ability to scale are now non-negotiable when selecting workspace providers.

Businesses relocating to the UAE can explore office space in Dubai, while those expanding into Saudi Arabia can browse office space in Riyadh, both supported by The Place’s team of workspace professionals. From private offices and meeting rooms to coworking options and hybrid setups, The Place continues to serve as a strategic partner for companies entering or growing within the region.

“As more companies relocate to tap into new opportunities in the Middle East, flexible workspaces are playing a pivotal role in their setup journey,” added the spokesperson. “We’re proud to support this transition with bespoke solutions tailored to the needs of modern businesses.”
