Mid-rise flats and media offices
Movers in Dubai Production City (IMPZ)
Production City, still widely called IMPZ, mixes mid-rise residential blocks around the lakes with media and print free-zone premises. Residential access is easy; the free-zone units need a pass arranged in advance.
Two to three days for residential; free-zone offices need longer for the pass.
Move permits in Dubai Production City
Residential buildings ask for a standard move permit with a couple of days' notice. Free-zone offices and studios need a separate access pass from the authority, which is not something that can be arranged on the morning. We handle both.
Dubai Production City — almost everyone still says IMPZ — is a mixed community of mid-rise residential blocks around the lakes and a free zone built around media, print and production businesses.
Residential is easy
By western-corridor standards this is one of the more straightforward places to move. The internal roads are wide, the buildings have working lifts and defined parking, and a standard permit with a couple of days’ notice is generally the only requirement.
A good share of the stock is part-furnished, which keeps the volumes down.
Free-zone premises need lead time
Offices, studios and print units inside the free zone need an access pass arranged through the authority, and that is separate from whatever the building wants. It is a straightforward process and it is not a same-day one.
Office moves here run in the evening or over a weekend for the usual reasons — office moving covers the seat-labelling and IT side. Where there is storage or stock attached, warehouse moving applies.
Well connected
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road runs alongside, which makes cross-city runs quick outside the peaks and puts Al Barsha, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) and the eastern communities all within reach.
Nearby
Dubai Sports City and Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) are the closest neighbours, with Arjan and Al Barsha short runs away.

Moving in Dubai Production City — common questions
Officially it is Dubai Production City, but almost everyone still says IMPZ and building management will recognise either. Use whichever you like when you book — we will know where you mean.
Yes. Those need an access pass arranged through the authority in advance, separately from anything the building itself requires, and it genuinely cannot be sorted out on the day. Office moves run out of hours as standard — office moving.
Yes, one of the more straightforward communities in the western corridor. Wide internal roads, working lifts, defined parking. A standard permit with a couple of days' notice is usually the only requirement.

Two to three days for residential; free-zone offices need longer for the pass.
Studio and small one-bedroom moves within Dubai generally start around AED 500, and the figure climbs with the volume of furniture, the number of rooms, whether packing is included, and how the two buildings are accessed. Access is the part people underestimate: a ground-floor villa with the truck on the driveway is a different job from a fourth-floor walk-up in International City with a 60-metre carry. We would rather look at your rooms than guess — send photos on WhatsApp and you will get a real number rather than a range.
Four things, in roughly this order of impact. Volume — how much there is to carry, which is what decides crew size and how many truck runs it takes. Access at both ends — lift or stairs, how far the truck can park from the door, and whether a service lift has to be booked. Services — packing, dismantling, reassembly and unpacking each add labour and time. And timing — a move that has to happen tomorrow, or on a Friday evening, costs more than one booked with a week of notice.
Materials are included in the quote — cartons, bubble wrap, stretch film, tape and paper. You do not need to buy anything or collect boxes from a supermarket. If you would rather pack your own clothes and books to keep the cost down and leave us the kitchen, glass and electronics, that is a normal way to split it and we will price it that way.
