Office space calculator · Updated 10 November 2026
Office space calculator Dubai Square Business District, Dubai Creek Harbour
Enter the size of your team and pick the kind of workplace you run. You get a general range of space, in square feet and in square metres. Emaar plans this district but has not published office sizes, so treat the result as a planning aid and not as the size of any unit.
General guidance only. It is not advice, and it says nothing about any office in the district.
Office sizes, floor plans, prices and dates are not published yet.
01 / Calculator
Work out a range for your team.
The inputs need JavaScript, which is off or unavailable here. The example below is for 20 people in a mixed layout. The table further down gives the figure for each style, so you can multiply by your own headcount.

A range, not a quote or a unit size. The source lists rooms such as kitchens and meeting rooms apart from space per person, and this calculator does not add them. General guidance, not advice.
Enter the number of people, for example 25.
Use a whole number. Decimals are not accepted.
Use a number above zero. Negative numbers are not accepted.
Zero is not accepted. Use a whole number from 1 to 5000.
That number is too large. Use a whole number from 1 to 5000.
Use digits only, for example 25. Spaces and thousands separators are fine.

02 / How the figures work
Where the numbers come from.
Each office layout matches one band in a published guide to office space per employee. We multiply your headcount by the low and the high figure of that band, which gives a range and not a single answer. Square metres are the same numbers converted at 10.7639 square feet to the square metre.
| Office layout | Band in the source | Per person in sq ft | Per person in sq m |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open-plan layout | High density offices | 50 to 100 square feet | 4.6 to 9.3 square metres |
| Mixed layout | Average density offices | 100 to 200 square feet | 9.3 to 18.6 square metres |
| Private-office layout | Spacious offices | 200 to 500 square feet | 18.6 to 46.5 square metres |
Source: Knight Frank, the guide on how much office space a business needs, in the culture and space section of knightfrank.co.uk. The web page has no publication date and we read it on 10 November 2026. It gives square feet per employee for three kinds of office, and we use its figures as published.
The guide is written for businesses in the UK, so it has no Dubai figures. Whether its numbers mean net or gross area is not stated, so we read them as net.
03 / What this does not tell you
The limits of the result.
The calculator gives one answer only: the amount of space a team of a set size may occupy, going by a published guide. It cannot tell you how big an office in this district will be.
Emaar says the district is planned and announced it on 9 November 2026. It is not built, and Emaar describes the new Dubai Creek Tower as envisioned. None of that gives an office size.
- Nothing is published for the district. Emaar has not published office sizes or floor plans. No figure on this page describes an office there.
- Net and gross areas differ. Net area is the space your team uses. Gross area also counts shared parts of a building. Ask how any area is measured before you compare two figures.
- Layouts differ. The shape of each level, the position of the core and the window lines change how many people fit.
- Extra rooms are not added. Kitchens, meeting rooms, server rooms and managers’ offices come on top of the ranges, beyond what the layout itself includes.
- General guidance, not advice. For a decision to buy or lease, speak to a qualified adviser about your own case.
04 / Questions
Short answers.
What can I type in the people fields?
A whole number from 1 to 5000. Digits can be Western (1, 2, 3), Arabic-Indic (١, ٢, ٣) or Persian (۱, ۲, ۳), and spaces or commas between thousands are fine. Decimals, negative numbers and zero are not accepted.
What is the second people field for?
The district is planned, not built, so your team may be a different size when offices exist. Add that number to see a second range beside the first.
Does this show how big an office in Dubai Square will be?
No. Emaar has not published office sizes or floor plans. The calculator shows what a team of a given size may use under a published guide, which is a different question.
Does the calculator keep what I type?
No. It runs in your browser, sends nothing and stores nothing. Registering interest is separate and uses the form.
