About DIFC
DIFC is both a commercial free zone (hosting 440+ wealth and asset management firms, 85 hedge funds) and a residential address. Inventory is high-end, tightly-built, and dominated by branded residences and serviced apartments. Tenants skew senior finance professionals — tenure is longer, rents are higher, and vacancy is structurally low.
