Dubai's JLT welcomes new flexi workspace at Sweid One - My Startup World - Everything About the World of Startups!

Dubai-based real estate firm Sweid & Sweid has partnered with The Executive Centre (TEC) to bring more than 53,000 sq. ft. of premium flexible workspace to Sweid One in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), marking TEC’s entry into the DMCC business district. TEC will occupy two full floors at Sweid One, offering private offices, collaborative workspaces, executive meeting suites, boardrooms and event facilities supported by on-site teams and enterprise-grade infrastructure. The move expands TEC’s UAE footprint beyond its existing locations at Dubai World Trade Centre, One Za’abeel and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

"The addition of TEC enhances Sweid One’s appeal by giving occupiers access to a wider range of workplace solutions alongside Grade A office space and fully fitted units," said Maher Sweid, Managing Partner of Sweid & Sweid.

Details

At Sweid One, TEC will provide flexible offices designed for immediate occupancy and future growth, enabling businesses to scale without the limitations of traditional leases. The agreement adds to TEC’s presence in the UAE, where it currently operates approximately 9,000 sq. m. at Dubai World Trade Centre, 3,000 sq. m. at One Za’abeel and 5,000 sq. m. at ADGM.

• TEC space at Sweid One: more than 53,000 sq. ft., occupying two full floors.
• Sweid One scale: approximately 1 million sq. ft. of built-up area, including 500,000 sq. ft. of Grade A office space.
• Building specifications: large floor plates, four-metre floor-to-floor heights, energy-efficient HVAC systems, premium solar-efficient glazing and sustainability-focused design standards.
• Amenities: Boon Coffee, The Kitchen by Spinneys Food Hall and a premium restaurant with an outdoor terrace (to be announced).
• Location and connectivity: positioned in the DMCC free zone with access to more than 600 cafés and restaurants, over 300 retail and convenience outlets, two metro stations and links to Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

Ketan Trehan, Regional Director – Middle East at TEC, described the expansion as a major commitment for the company in the UAE and underlined the strategic importance of DMCC’s business ecosystem. "The partnership aligns with both companies’ shared focus on design, quality, and creating workspaces that enhance the employee experience," he said, framing the move as part of TEC’s broader regional growth. Globally, TEC operates across 38 cities in 15 markets, serving multinational corporations and high-growth enterprises with premium flexible workspace solutions.

Outlook

The collaboration positions Sweid One to capture demand for flexible, serviced-office solutions within one of Dubai’s busiest business hubs. By combining Grade A fitted units with TEC’s managed services, Sweid & Sweid aims to offer occupiers a broader set of workplace options that can support immediate needs and longer-term expansion. The presence of TEC in DMCC also reinforces the free zone’s appeal to corporate occupiers, joining an ecosystem of more than 25,000 registered companies and leveraging Sweid One’s sustainability-focused design and transport connectivity to attract local and international tenants.
