Quick Answer
A commercial fit-out in Dubai typically costs AED 80–200 per sqft for offices, AED 150–400 for retail and showrooms, and AED 150–450+ for restaurants, salons and clinics (where kitchens, wet-works and MEP drive the number). First Unicorn is a licensed commercial fit-out company covering Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the wider UAE — offices, retail, F&B, salons, clinics, gyms, showrooms and warehouses.
