Properties for Sale in Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC)

Dubai Healthcare City is a free economic zone community (a freehold zone) and a sub-district of Bur Dubai. This project began in 2002 and is a creation of the prime minister of UAE and the ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It was initially conceived as a center for medical research mixed with a wellness community. 

Dubai Healthcare City is an internationally acclaimed center that attracts both medical providers and patients from all around the world. The district houses more than 120 medical facilities such as hospitals, clinics, research facilities, institutes, academies, universities, and schools aimed to attract professionals from all around the world. 

Location and Transportation

Bur Dubai on the eastern side is a parent community situated nearby. Residents can reach Dubai International Airport in just 14 minutes. Metro and bus service are available. 

Real Estate

Dubai Healthcare city doesn’t offer a lot in terms of residential housing. Most of the people who work or undergo medical procedures in DHC prefer to live in Bur Dubai (you can look for properties located there). However, a small number of apartments situated in residential buildings are available for rent and sale. 

Most importantly, the area offers offices for rent and sale that are perfect for small private practitioners who want to open an independent operation. 1-4 bedroom flats are available.
