Sign approvals in Downtown Dubai

Downtown is a managed community, so the master developer's community management reviews exterior signs in addition to the authority permit. Mall tenants follow the mall's own tenant design manual, which sets letter type, depth, lighting and the hours when installers can work.

Rules and fees change, so we confirm the current requirements for your address at the site survey, then prepare the drawings and submit the application for you.

Good to know. Allow extra time for design review. In managed districts and malls, the landlord's comments often take longer than the government permit.
