How to find and compare ADGM office space providers, from ADGM's own directory to business centres like Aegis Coworking on Al Reem Island.
An office space provider in ADGM is a business centre, coworking operator, or commercial landlord that rents space inside Abu Dhabi Global Market, including on Al Reem Island. ADGM publishes a directory of these providers on its official office space page, and it is the most reliable place to start when you need ADGM office space for a new company, a licence renewal, or a growing team.
The directory lists around twenty providers on Al Reem Island alone, which is helpful and slightly overwhelming. This guide explains how to find office space in ADGM, what the different provider types offer, how to compare ADGM-listed office providers, and where Aegis Coworking fits.
The ADGM office space page has a dedicated section for Al Reem Island. Al Reem Island joined the jurisdiction under UAE Cabinet Decision No. 41 of 2023, and the page confirms it sits within ADGM's jurisdiction. Each entry names the provider, the type of space it offers, and usually the building.
Two categories appear on the page:
To get space, ADGM directs enquirers to submit an enquiry through the page. The page does not describe how providers are selected for listing, so treat it as a map of who operates in ADGM, not a recommendation. Your own checks still decide who fits.
| Type | What it is | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| ADGM coworking space | Shared desks in an open workspace, flexi or dedicated | Freelancers, solo founders, early-stage companies |
| Serviced office | A furnished private room with utilities, internet, and reception included in one fee | Small teams that want privacy without a fit-out |
| Virtual office | A registered address with mail handling, no daily desk | Holding structures and SPVs with minimal operations |
| Meeting room or day pass | Space by the hour or day | Occasional client meetings or visiting teams |
| Commercial office lease | An unfurnished floor or suite on a longer lease | Larger teams ready to fit out their own space |
Coworking and serviced offices in ADGM overlap more than the names suggest. Most business centres sell both, which is why a provider offering the full range can save a growing company from moving later. If you are still deciding which desk or office type suits your stage, our guide on choosing which ADGM workspace fits you walks through it step by step, and our comparison of private office vs coworking in ADGM covers cost and privacy. This article focuses on the step before that: finding and comparing the providers themselves.
Appearing in the directory shows that a provider operates in ADGM. It does not tell you whether the space suits your licence, team, or budget. Compare providers on these points:
The same checks apply to every business centre and office provider on Al Reem Island. Rents and pricing structures differ by building, so request quotes from two or three providers and compare like for like.
Al Reem Island offers ADGM jurisdiction with a wide range of existing office buildings, and it hosts around twenty of the providers on ADGM's list. A business based there falls under ADGM licensing, courts, and regulation like any other ADGM company. Our article on Addax Tower and ADGM workspace covers the building in more detail.
For companies comparing flexible office space across Abu Dhabi, the practical question is whether the address sits inside ADGM. A coworking space in Abu Dhabi outside the jurisdiction will not carry an ADGM registered address, so confirm the location against ADGM's list before you pay a deposit.
Aegis Coworking ADGM is listed on ADGM's official office space page as a business centre on the 38th floor of Addax Tower, Al Reem Island. The listing describes leases supporting ADGM incorporation and licence renewal, with fast onboarding through an in-house KYC and compliance team. As an ADGM business centre in Addax Tower, Aegis serves companies, startups, and professionals that need an ADGM presence.
Aegis provides business workspace solutions in Abu Dhabi for companies that need an ADGM presence, from a single desk to a private office:
Members have 24/7 access, Wi-Fi, mail handling, and use of the business lounge. Aegis states no deposit, no admin fees, and no setup fees on its plans; see the pricing page for current rates. Because the options sit in one building, a company can start on a desk and move to a private office without changing its ADGM address.
Searches for serviced offices in Abu Dhabi return providers across the whole city, and most of them sit outside ADGM. That matters because an ADGM company needs its physical presence inside ADGM's jurisdiction, such as on Al Reem Island. A serviced office on the mainland may be well run and well priced, but it will not give an ADGM company the address its licence requires.
An ADGM business centre differs from a mainland serviced office in three ways: the address falls under ADGM jurisdiction, the lease is registered through ADGM's AccessRP platform, and the provider is used to supporting licence applications and renewals. If your company is, or will be, licensed by ADGM, filter the search by the ADGM directory first and compare prices second.
Advisers who serve ADGM clients but are not licensed there themselves have more freedom to choose. For everyone else, finding office space for businesses in ADGM starts with the directory, then moves to the practical questions of term, price, and the room you will need in a year.
It also helps to ask each provider the same three questions in writing: which building and floor the space is in, whether the lease will be registered with ADGM and by whom, and what happens to your pricing and address if you later move from a desk to a private office. Providers that answer clearly and quickly tend to handle the paperwork the same way.
ADGM publishes the list on its office space page at adgm.com, with a dedicated section for Al Reem Island.
Yes. ADGM's office space page lists Aegis Coworking as a business centre on the 38th floor of Addax Tower, Al Reem Island.
A business centre rents desks, private offices, and meeting rooms on flexible terms. A commercial office provider leases conventional office floors, usually on longer terms.
ADGM's AccessRP platform handles lease registration, and a registered lease is what supports licence applications, renewals, and bank requests. Confirm with your provider who submits it.
Many business centres offer flexible terms and day passes. Check the minimum term and what the price includes before you commit.
Start with ADGM's own list, match the provider type to your business, and check lease registration, inclusions, and room to grow before signing. Aegis Coworking is on that list as a business centre in Addax Tower, Al Reem Island, with desks, private offices, a virtual office, and meeting rooms for ADGM businesses.
