Letswork has launched its long-term office rentals classifieds, a new product designed to modernise how businesses discover and lease commercial office space across the UAE.

The new classifieds enables landlords, developers and workspace operators to list long-term offices and private suites, while giving startups, SMEs and enterprise teams a centralised, digital-first way to search, compare and enquire about office space. The rollout will initially focus on the UAE, with plans to expand into key MENA markets where Letswork already operates, including Riyadh and Cairo.

Launch partners include developers like Emaar and coworking operators such as Axeed Space, which recently opened in Al Quoz, reflecting early demand from both flexible workspace providers and large-scale commercial landlords seeking new digital demand channels.

The launch comes as businesses across the region assess their real estate strategies. Demand for hybrid leasing models, combining the security of long-term occupancy with the flexibility of on-demand access, has become a structural feature of how companies plan their workspace, not just as a temporary response to any single moment.

While many existing platforms in the region are primarily designed for residential listings, Letswork’s new classifieds is purpose-built for commercial real estate. It accounts for local market complexities such as free zones, Ejari requirements, licensing considerations and varied lease structures that businesses must navigate when securing office space.

“Commercial real estate in the region has lagged behind residential when it comes to digital infrastructure,” said Hamza Khan, Co-Founder and CEO of Letswork. “Companies are thinking about fixed commitments – what they need are options, visibility, and a platform that understands the full arc of how they find, use, and grow into their workspace. The UAE has built one of the world’s most sophisticated business environments, and we aim to support it with digital commercial real estate infrastructure that matches the way companies here actually operate, whether that is distributed teams, hybrid models, rapid scaling, or multi-jurisdiction complexity. That’s what we’re building.”

Built for Modern Leasing
The long-term office rentals classifieds allow businesses to:

• Browse verified commercial office listings with clear specifications
• Filter by location, size, lease terms and operating jurisdiction
• Enquire directly with landlords and operators through a single platform
• Combine long-term office leasing with access to coworking, meeting rooms and on-demand workspaces

For landlords, operators and brokers, the platform offers a demand channel built on something no general portal can match: behavioural intelligence on how companies actually work before they ever enquire about a long-term lease.

“Most platforms capture intent – someone searches, someone enquires, the trail goes cold,” said Omar Al Mheiri, Co-Founder and CPO of Letswork. “What’s different here is that we already understand how companies work before they look at a long-term lease. We see which neighbourhoods their teams gravitate to, how many seats they’re consistently using, what kind of spaces they need on different days. We’re connecting those signals into a single platform that serves the full lifecycle: a desk for today, a suite for the next three years, and everything in between. No other platform in the region is built to do that.”

Later this year, Letswork plans to expand the classifieds to include office sales, as well as explore financial solutions to support businesses entering longer-term leases, further streamlining the end-to-end office leasing journey.

“Our goal is to become the default infrastructure for how companies find and manage workspace,” added Khan. “Whether it’s for a day, a year or longer, we want to make that process simpler and more intelligent.”

Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone (ANCFZ) today signed a MoU with the DIFC Courts to strengthen the legal infrastructure underpinning its fast-growing business ecosystem and enhance investor confidence.

This cooperation aims to enhance value-added services for ANCFZ clients by enabling them to access a range of public services offered by DIFC, including DIFC Courts services such as the Small Claims Tribunal, Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, Enforcement, Specialised Divisions, Probate, Hearing Room Rentals, Notary Service, Mediation Service, Wills service, Tejouri Digital Vault, Registration of Practitioners, the Pro Bono Programme (PBP), and the Volunteer Lawyer Service.

The MoU reflects ANCFZ’s forward-looking approach to building a globally competitive free zone environment supported by legal clarity, regulatory transparency, and institutional collaboration. As the Free Zone continues to scale, the partnership will enhance awareness among investors and businesses of the UAE’s internationally recognized dispute resolution mechanisms, while providing clearer pathways to trusted legal services through DIFC Courts.

Under the terms of the agreement, both entities will collaborate on joint outreach initiatives including seminars, conferences, and investor awareness programmes. The MoU also provides for the exchange of relevant legal publications, regulatory developments, and operational insights, ensuring greater alignment and knowledge-sharing between the two institutions.

The collaboration comes at a time when the UAE’s free zone ecosystem continues to play a central role in national economic diversification. The country is home to more than 40 multidisciplinary free zones offering 100% foreign ownership and tailored business services to global investors, particularly in logistics, technology, finance, and manufacturing. Industry projections indicate that free zones are expected to contribute approximately AED 257 billion to the UAE’s non-oil GDP by 2030, reinforcing their importance as drivers of foreign direct investment and international trade.

At the same time, established financial and legal hubs such as the DIFC continue to expand their global footprint, with registered firms rising nearly 40% in 2025 to over 8,800, supported by a robust legal and regulatory infrastructure that enhances investor certainty and dispute resolution reliability.

Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Sultan Al Nuaimi, Chairman of ANCFZ, said: “As we continue to expand our investor base and global reach, strengthening the legal and regulatory ecosystem surrounding our Free Zone is essential. This partnership with the DIFC Courts reinforces our commitment to transparency, governance, and international best practices, in line with Ajman Vision 2030 and the UAE’s broader economic diversification agenda.”

H.E. Justice Omar Al Mheiri, Director of the DIFC Courts, commented: “This Memorandum of Understanding reinforces legal certainty and investor confidence across the UAE’s free zone ecosystem. By extending access to the DIFC Courts’ internationally recognised services, the partnership strengthens the legal infrastructure supporting high-growth business communities.

Aligned with the DIFC Courts’ strategic priorities of international reach, judicial excellence, and effective enforcement, this collaboration further positions DIFC Courts as a leading global hub for dispute resolution and commercial certainty.” 

Rishi Somaiya, CEO of ANCFZ, added: “Investor confidence is built on clarity, speed, and legal certainty. By formalizing cooperation with the DIFC Courts, we are enhancing the value proposition of ANCFZ and ensuring that businesses operating within our ecosystem benefit from greater awareness of robust dispute resolution frameworks available in the UAE.”

For ANCFZ, this partnership builds on a year of accelerated growth and strong investor uptake. Established in October 2024, the Free Zone has successfully registered over 6,500 companies within its first year of operation, positioning itself as one of the UAE’s fastest-growing free zones and a notable contributor to foreign direct investment inflows.

ANCFZ’s fully integrated digital platform enables entrepreneurs to obtain a business license within two hours and complete visa processing within 24 hours. Its hybrid operational model, which combines advanced digital infrastructure with dedicated client support, ensures seamless regulatory compliance and efficient business setup, allowing investors to focus on scaling their operations.
