Jumeirah Emirates Towers to launch new luxury residences
A city icon gets a new key…
There's a new chapter rising on Sheikh Zayed Road – and if the name rings a bell, that's the point. Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers is bringing one of Dubai's most iconic addresses into a new era. Not offices. Not hotels. This time: homes.
While Sheikh Zayed Road is no stranger to skyscrapers, this one is special. Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers is the latest addition to Dubai's skyline – a new residential twin-tower that builds on the legacy of one of the city's most recognisable names. Developed by Meraas (under Dubai Holding Real Estate), the project introduces 754 branded homes, with prices starting from Dhs3.5 million. Move-in? Slated for 2030. The design
Designed by SCDA Architects, the structure leans into a cantilevered silhouette – futuristic, balanced, and geometric. The shape gives the towers their edge, quite literally. Inside the homes
Floor-to-ceiling windows. Minimal layouts. Every residence is shaped for privacy, with breathtaking views over Downtown and the Museum of the Future. Interiors lean modern and clean. Starting at Dhs3.5 million for a one-bed, these homes are built around privacy and pure luxury. The entrance
A private drop-off leads to a double-height lobby, a hidden courtyard, and calm, gallery-like spaces that set the tone before you've even stepped inside your home. The terraces
There are three of them – perched high, planted with greenery, wrapped around infinity pools and quiet lounges with stunning views all around. Designed for residents only, they're more retreat than amenity. The amenities
From a luxury gym with dedicated studios and co-working spaces to a private cinema, family pool, padel courts, and children's play zones – the lifestyle options cover work, play, and everything in between. Life with Jumeirah
From 24/7 concierge services to wellness treatments, private chefs, fitness coaching, and car management – residents will have access to Jumeirah's hospitality, only this time, without checking in or out. It's the signature Jumeirah service – just woven into daily life instead of a weekend stay.

Expatriate residents and overseas buyers account for 67% of total sales, with buyers from the UAE, Russia, the UK, and China making up the top nationalities by sales volume.

Above the City: OMNIYAT's Lumena Sets a New Standard for the Future of Work
A new architectural landmark rises in Dubai — where light, luxury, and leadership converge in OMNIYAT's most visionary commercial tower yet. There are buildings that exist to house work and then there are buildings that redefine how we experience it. Lumena by OMNIYAT, a newly unveiled 48-storey commercial tower set to rise in Dubai's Burj Khalifa district, belongs firmly in the latter category. Launched with a dramatic reveal at the Museum of the Future, Lumena brings together sculptural form, biophilic design, and a philosophy that favours clarity and considered momentum. Even its name reflects this duality: 'lumen' from Latin, meaning light, and 'ena,' a Japanese expression of blessing. From the outset, every detail is designed to inspire. With a slender silhouette and cantilevered volumes that seem to hover above Sheikh Zayed Road, Lumena's presence is striking. The internal architecture echoes this weightlessness with double-height glazing, minimal columns, and expansive ceiling heights which created a feeling of openness and intention. Whilst views stretch from the glittering axis of Downtown to the waters of the Arabian Gulf. Each of the 91 shell-and-core office units – offered as half floor and full floor offices – has been designed with customisation and efficiency in mind. Flexible layouts, high ceilings, and column-free spaces allow for complete personalisation. Behind the aesthetics lies serious innovation: Lumena is on track to secure Platinum certifications from LEED, WELL, WiredScore, and SmartScore – making it one of the most future-focused commercial developments in the region. The experience moves well beyond the workday too. A private Executive Club, high-performance Wellness Suite, and the city's first commercial Sky Theatre are seamlessly integrated into the building's upper floors. The latter is a destination in itself as it's set against sweeping skyline views and designed to host everything from strategic summits to brand launches. A suspended Sky Pool, framed by soft landscaping, offers a rare moment of stillness high above the city. On the ground, the podium connects curated retail and fine dining with Business Bay and Downtown's lifestyle communities, while a full concierge service takes care of everything from boardroom bookings to luxury travel and personal shopping. Lumena is a building that anticipates how tomorrow's leaders will work and live, quietly setting a new benchmark for commercial life in Dubai. And for those who step inside, it's an invitation to operate above the noise, in a place where everything has been considered.
