Bay Square
A Dubai Properties office and retail quarter of low-rise buildings.
Canal-front towers
Residential and hotel towers along the Dubai Water Canal.
Downtown next door
Many Business Bay moves go to or from Downtown Dubai across Al Khail Road.

Permits and paperwork
Do You Need a Permit to Move in Business Bay?
Yes. Almost every Business Bay tower needs a move permit and a booked service lift. Who issues it depends on who manages your building.
You usually provide
- Emirates ID
- Passport with visa page
- Ejari (tenants) or title deed (owners)
- Cleared service charges
We provide
- Our trade licence
- Truck and crew details
- Floor, wall and lift protection
- A crew sized to your lift slot
Who issues the permit?
Dubai Properties buildings
Buildings managed by Dubai Properties, such as Executive Towers, use its move permit, applied for in the RealConnect app. Apply at least two working days ahead. Dubai Properties has published moving hours of Saturday to Thursday, 8am to 7pm, so a Friday move is unlikely to be approved. Move-out permits are only issued once community service charges are paid.
Other towers
Towers built by other developers issue their own permits through building or owners’ association management — some ask for a refundable deposit.
Service lifts and loading bays
Lift and loading-bay slots are booked with the permit and can be scarce in busy mixed-use towers, so book early.
Ejari and DEWA
Moving out? Clear service charges, cancel Ejari and close your DEWA account. Moving in? Register Ejari so your permit and DEWA connection can be issued.
Access and timing
Timing Your Move Around Business Bay Traffic
Dubai restricts larger trucks on some roads at busy times — including Sheikh Zayed Road during the day — so we time the Dubai end of your move around them.
01
Shared Loading Bays
Bays are shared with offices and shops, so we confirm the slot and truck height in advance.
02
Shared Service Lifts
In mixed-use towers, homes and offices share lifts — early or weekend moves are often smoother.
03
After-Hours Office Moves
Evening and weekend office moves keep your business running.
04
Avoid Month-End
Many leases end at month-end, when lifts and crews are busiest.

Building guide
Which Kind of Business Bay Building Are You Moving From?
Business Bay has more than 230 towers from dozens of developers. Two towers on the same street can have completely different move rules.
The first question is who manages your building. It decides where you apply, when you can move and what deposit, if any, you pay.
Dubai Properties towers
Executive Towers and other Dubai Properties buildings. Permit in the RealConnect app, moves Saturday to Thursday in published hours. Executive Towers sits above the Bay Avenue mall, so ask which loading area and hours residents can use.
Independent residential towers
Most Business Bay towers. The owners’ association or management company issues the permit and books the lift, and some ask for a refundable deposit.
Mixed-use office and home towers
Offices and homes share one service lift. Weekday office hours are the busiest, so early, evening or weekend slots (where allowed) move faster.
Canal-front towers
Towers along Marasi Drive and the Dubai Canal face a promenade where trucks can’t stop. Loading is from the rear or basement, which can mean a longer carry.
Hotel and serviced apartments
Residences run by hotels share entrances and lifts with guests. Expect tighter hours and a supervisor from the building during the move.
Newly handed-over towers
When a new tower is handed over, many owners and tenants move in at once and lift slots go quickly. Building work nearby can also change road access. Book early.
Moving-day timing
When Is the Best Time to Move in Business Bay?
Business Bay sits between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, two of Dubai’s busiest roads. Timing decides how much of your lift slot is spent loading and how much is spent in traffic.
- 01
Pick a weekday mid-month
Month-end is when leases end and lift slots run out. In Dubai Properties buildings, Friday moves are usually not allowed.
- 02
Avoid the morning rush
Al Khail Road and the Business Bay exits slow down at rush hour, and accidents near the Business Bay Crossing can add a lot of time. We plan the truck’s route and start time around the peak.
- 03
Work around truck restrictions
Dubai restricts larger trucks on Sheikh Zayed Road during the day. We route the truck so it arrives inside your slot without using a restricted road.
- 04
Use quiet lift hours
In mixed-use towers, office deliveries fill the service lift during the working day. Early slots, or weekend slots where your building allows them, are faster.
- 05
Offices after hours
Office moves run in the evening or at the weekend within your building’s commercial moving hours, which can be different from its residential hours.
- 06
Summer and midday
From mid-June to mid-September outdoor work stops from 12:30 to 3pm. We start early so loading is done before the break.

FAQs About Movers in Business Bay
Do I need a permit to move in or out of Business Bay?
Yes. Almost every tower needs a move permit and a booked service lift. We provide our licence, truck and crew details for the application.
My building isn’t managed by Dubai Properties — who issues the permit?
Your building or owners’ association management. Ask them for the move form, lift booking and permitted hours early.
Do Business Bay towers ask for a moving deposit?
Some do, usually refundable. Check with your building management when you apply.
How far ahead should I book the service lift?
As early as you can — ideally a week or more, as slots go quickly in busy towers.
Can you move our office at night or over the weekend?
Yes. We move offices after hours and at weekends to keep downtime to a minimum.
Do Dubai’s truck restrictions affect my move?
They can — Sheikh Zayed Road has daytime truck limits. We plan the route and timing around them.
Which app do I use for a Dubai Properties move permit in Business Bay?
Dubai Properties buildings such as Executive Towers use the RealConnect app. Apply at least two working days before the move. Other Business Bay towers have their own management, so ask them for their form.
Can the truck stop on Marasi Drive by the canal?
Plan on no. Stopping on the main road to load blocks traffic and can bring a fine, and the canal promenade isn’t open to trucks. Canal-front towers load from a rear or basement bay. We check where your bay is, and how tall a truck it takes, at the survey.
Will the price change if the lift is busy on the day?
No. Local moves are priced per job, not per hour, so waiting for a shared lift doesn’t add to the bill. See will the price change on moving day.
What do I need to clear before moving out?
Usually service charges, Ejari cancellation and your final DEWA bill — then the move-out permit can be issued.
Can you store my things if my dates don’t line up?
Yes, short- and long-term storage is available, with delivery when you’re ready.
