Movers in Tecom
TECOM — now officially called Barsha Heights since 2016 — is a mixed-use district built by TECOM Group, between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Sufouh Road, next to Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Knowledge Park. Construction started in 2006 and about 95 buildings were finished by 2020. The district is residential towers, offices and hotel apartments on the same blocks — studios to three-bedroom apartments, small offices, and around 70 hotels. The Dubai Internet City Metro Station on the Red Line is a five to ten-minute walk from most towers. Moving from an apartment or office in TECOM?

A tower district — not a villa community
TECOM is a district of towers, and every move here runs through a building. The district covers about 9 million square feet of mid-rise and high-rise towers, mostly ten to twenty-five floors, with residential towers, office buildings, hotel apartments and ground-floor retail on the same blocks. It is not a free zone — it is a freehold district. So the move is a building permit, a service-lift slot and a loading bay, arranged with the building management before moving day.
How a move in TECOM works
The move starts with the building permit — the building management issues it, and we arrange the building details and the service-lift slot before moving day. The truck uses the loading bay, and the crew works inside the lift slot the building gives us. Apartment moves are usually finished in a single day. Office moves are usually scheduled after hours or at the weekend, so the business is working again on Monday.
The loading bay is the other half of the move. Most TECOM towers have a single loading bay, and the crew books it for the same window as the service lift, so the truck, the lift and the crew all work together. The truck reverses into the bay, the crew loads straight from the bay into the lift, and the bay is clear before the window ends. For offices, the same bay is used after hours, when the building is quiet, the lift is free, and the move does not disturb the other tenants. If a tower has no loading bay, the crew uses the drop-off area in front of the building and keeps the move tight, so the street stays clear.
The towers we move in TECOM
Two Towers, The One Tower — which connects to Dubai Internet City Metro Station by footbridge — I-Rise Tower, Smart Heights, Goldcrest Views 1 and 2, and AZIZI Iris are the residential towers we move most often. Offices are in Grosvenor Business Tower and Al Shafar Tower 1, and hotel apartments include First Central Hotel Suites. Most towers have a pool, a gym and underground parking, and the crew works around the building's own rules.
Hotel apartments are a third kind of move in TECOM. Buildings like First Central Hotel Suites have serviced apartments with furniture already in place, so the move is usually personal items, boxes and small furniture — a single truck and a few hours. The crew works with the hotel's own rules, books the lift through the front desk, and keeps the lobby clear.
