Business Setup in Barsha Heights
Affordable towers beside Dubai Internet City and Media City.
Business setup in Barsha Heights places your company in the tower district formerly known as TECOM, between Sheikh Zayed Road and Hessa Street and next to Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City. Office rents here sit below the prime districts, which suits technology, media and service companies that want a central address without the Downtown price.
Licensing depends on the building: some offices sit under the Dubai mainland and others under the Dubai Development Authority free zone, so we confirm which applies to your office before anything is filed.
What should you know about Barsha Heights?
Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.
Why set up a company in Barsha Heights?
The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where Barsha Heights is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.

Office space in Barsha Heights is typically priced below Downtown, Business Bay and DIFC, with the same central access.
