Established in the year 2000, Dubai Media City (DMC) has grown into a regional hub for media companies. It is a community where freelancers, SMEs, start-ups and large enterprises co-exist. The integrated infrastructure has made it one of the most fertile grounds for the development of media industries, making a distinguished spot on the globe.

​

Dubai Media City is the reflection of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision as he wanted to transform Dubai into a knowledge-based society. Following his concept, it was designed to be the headquarters for global and local media houses. That being said, there are mostly offices and only a few apartments and villas for rent in the area as it was primarily intended to be a purely commercial territory in Dubai.

​

Media City is a heavily commercialised area with most buildings comprised of offices and commercial floors offered for rent. Despite, one will find a few apartments and villas and a wide range of hotel apartments since it is predominantly a business community.

​

There are over 1,500 companies in this primary commercial district including companies in the digital, publishing and electronic media sectors. The area is home to the offices of BBC, MBC, CNN, Forbes, Sony, Thomson Reuters, ITP Media Group and many more. Moreover, Dubai Media City accommodates over 20,000 employees also facilitating them with a wide range of restaurants, shops and entertainment points in reach.

​

Dubai Media City is mainly populated with skyscrapers and high-rise towers that represent modern engineering and state-of-the-art architecture.

​

Rental apartments include studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom flats. These residential units have spacious bedrooms, storage, fitted bathrooms and a kitchen. Also, there is dedicated parking space in most complexes for each apartment. The buildings have 24-hour security and a maintenance team to ensure the safety and wellness of residents. Cordoba Residence is among the famous residential towers offering upscale apartments with a beautiful view.

​

On the other hand, there are 2 to 4-bedroom villas. Those interested in private properties can opt for these residential units. The homes are comfortable and embody the modern lifestyle of the free zone district.
