Lumena by Omniyat is the newest architectural wonder set to redefine workspaces in Dubai
Meet Lumena by OMNIYAT—the city's newest ultra-luxury commercial development and co-working space.
Fresh off the success of Enara's headline-making debut, OMNIYAT has recently unveiled its most ambitious commercial statement yet: a 48-storey sculptural tower designed to be more than a workplace.
With a targeted completion in 2029, Lumena is imagined as an icon of spatial innovation and biophilic design set to add to the Dubai skyline views and pave the way for future-forward ways of working.
'Lumena is the future of commercial real estate in Dubai. With its location, design, and integrated amenities, we are creating a new paradigm for commercial real estate that aligns with how the next generation of leaders wants to work and live. Leveraging technology, innovation, and future-proof design, LUMENA's sculpted form reflects both architectural brilliance and the effortless flow of ideas, ambition, and enterprise. This exceptional project reflects OMNIYAT's ongoing commitment to shaping the commercial landmarks of tomorrow,' says Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman at OMNIYAT.
Architecturally, Lumena is striking with its slender profile featuring cantilevered forms and a multi-faceted facade. Inside, 91 meticulously designed shell-and-core office units, from full floors to boutique-scale spaces, offer flexible formats flooded with light and panoramic views. Natural materials, double-height glazing, and subtle textural cues bring an understated calm to the corporate domain. But what truly sets Lumena apart is its curation of amenities that rival luxury hotels. From the private-access Executive Club and Sky Pool to the wellness suite and Sky Theatre – a first for a commercial tower in Dubai – the environment is human-centric and the experience is anything but conventional. Concierge services extend to lifestyle bookings, wellness support, and even private shopping.
Technologically, the tower is targeted to achieve Platinum status certifications across LEED, WELL Building™, WiredScore, and SmartScore, to make Lumena a global benchmark for sustainability and smart design. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram

How to declutter your home with this Dubai-based professional organiser
Salam Shaban, professional Dubai-based organizer and founder of Tidymess, discusses how you can reset your space for a successful 2023. What inspired you to enter the organisational space? I always loved organising, so it was something I was eager to learn more about. After seeing the amazing work of Marie Kondo I felt inspired to pursue it more seriously. Once I created a system that worked so well for myself and my family, I felt it was important to share it with others. You launched Tidymess a few years back. What was the initial response to the concept? At the time, it was a very new concept. I found myself having to explain it to most people I knew. Once people started to see my work they thought it was a great idea and encouraged me to pursue it. How have things evolved since you launched? I've been so lucky to have received such a phenomenal response from my clients and social media. This has really helped me grow my business. Every day people hire me and my team to help organize their spaces. We immerse ourselves in their homes and move through their spaces tailoring a highly-functional system. In the beginning, it was difficult to take on large projects, but as my team grew, we are now capable of really helping our clients organise as many spaces in their homes as they need. For those who are having a refresh for a new year, what are your top tips to start organising your space and life? Before buying anything new, take a minute or two to think about where it is going to live in your home and life. Think about how long you will need this item and what will happen to it in the future when you no longer do it. If it is something that you feel will add no real value to your space, then you most probably don't need it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tidymess (@tidymess_dxb) A particular place where clutter can build is your wardrobe. What is the best way to approach decluttering this space? Ask yourselves questions such as: When was the last time you wore it?; Is it in good condition?; Does it have sentimental value?; Have you worn it in the past year?; Does it fit you properly? Your answers will help you decide whether you want to keep, donate or store away your item. Over the years, what have been the hurdles you've experienced when building the Tidymess concept? Starting any business from scratch is a challenge. In my case, I was starting a business from scratch about a new concept that few people had heard of. I would say bringing my vision to life was a great challenge because it took a while for people to realize the necessity of adopting a new lifestyle for their homes as opposed to seeing my work as simply 'cleaning up' the house. What have been the key milestones? I would say my first milestone was when I was able to bring in a team to help me serve my clients better. Building a team gave me a sense of accomplishment that something I had started on my own was now growing into something more. My second milestone was after having my third child and realizing that I did not need to stop working. It took a lot of mental and emotional energy to see that it was okay for me to keep doing what I loved. Once I started taking on new projects again, I was so proud of myself and happy that I had not just let it go because of my new responsibilities and busy life. What does the future hold for Tidymess? Continue to grow and reach more people. Everyone can be a part of this concept. Whether they want to hire our services, buy our favourite products online or simply gain a few ideas from our social media page. I hope my team and I can help more people organize their spaces and love their homes. What will you be doing to reset your mindset and body for 2023? Keep finding that balance. As a mum of three and founder of a female-owned business, I find myself wearing many hats at once and that can quickly become overwhelming. I just need to keep finding that balance between my home life, work life and also those moments that are just for me.

Omniyat's new landmark to ‘illuminate' the ultra-luxury commercial workspace sector on famous Dubai route
Leading luxury real estate developer Omniyat is extending its vision for ultra-luxury commercial workspaces with a futuristic new landmark on Sheikh Zayed Road. The 48-storey Lumena tower will set a new standard for workplace environments in the region upon completion in the third quarter of 2029, says the UAE developer. The announcement follows what is describes as the unprecedented success of Enara by Omniyat and - with a gross development value of Dh3.6 billion - represents a 'benchmark in ultra-luxury commercial development'. Lumena is located on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Burj Khalifa district, at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai. Its eye-catching slender form and elevated architectural profile make it strategically designed to maximise views of Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and Jumeirah Beach. A series of cantilevered structures throughout the tower will deliver unique vantage points as well as exceptional shared amenities, including Lumina's signature feature, the 'breathtaking' Sky Theatre, which Omniyat is billing as a never-before-seen amenity for a commercial tower in Dubai. Lumena was launched at the Museum of the Future with a memorable sound and light show on June 18. An architectural model of the project is on display in Studio 12 at The Opus by Omniyat until June 22, providing a 'glimpse into the future' of Dubai's commercial spaces. Omniyat says it continues to lead the way in the ultra-luxury commercial workspace segment, underlined by Lumena; it describes it as work of 'architectural mastery' where every line draws upward, and every space is designed to inspire clarity, confidence, and command. Mahdi Amjad, Omniyat founder and executive chairman, has branded Lumena as 'the future of commercial real estate' in Dubai. 'With its location, design and integrated amenities, we are creating a new paradigm for commercial real estate that aligns with how the next generation of leaders want to work and live,' he says. 'Leveraging technology, innovation and future-proof design, Lumena's sculpted façade reflects both architectural brilliance and the effortless flow of ideas, ambition and enterprise.' The development's inspirational name draws from the Latin word for illumination (lumen) and 'ena', a Japanese word that suggests a blessing. Omniyat says Lumena symbolises clarity, purpose, and forward momentum with a design that integrates panoramic views with natural materials and biophilic elements, bringing light, greenery, and airflow into the workspace to promote wellbeing, productivity, and performance. Every element, from its sculpted façade to double height glazing and natural textures, is engineered for both form and function. And with a key location near Business Bay metro station, Lumena will be well connected to Dubai's prime business, retail and lifestyle hubs and - close to Downtown and Burj Khalifa - minutes away from major city attractions. Dubai International Airport can be reached in 13 minutes. 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 development is being engineered for optimal efficiency, featuring flexible floorplates with minimal columns, a rear-core layout, and clear ceiling heights of 3m within office areas. Units are being offered with full fit-out flexibility so buyers and tenants can customise layouts, while a palatial use of space, including high ceilings and full height windows, ushers openness and light. Onmiyat says superior service is built into the core experience across its portfolio of 'unparalleled' residential, commercial and hospitality properties. So a full suite of concierge offerings will include reception, meeting room management, spa and wellness coordination, lifestyle bookings, personal services, and bespoke experiences, such as event planning, luxury travel arrangements, and private shopping. Managed by Omniyat, these five-star services will draw from the brand's experience delivering high-touch hospitality across its award-winning commercial towers, residences and hotels, including Enara by Omniyat, and The Opus. Lumena has been designed to meet the latest British Council for Offices (BCO) standards, supporting occupancy density of one person per 10 sqm while maintaining spacious, high-end environments. And the developer is targeting multiple world-class certifications, reflecting commitment to sustainability, occupant wellbeing, and technological integration. These include LEED Platinum certification - the world's highest rating for sustainable commercial developments - while Lumena is projected to achieve Platinum WELL Certification from the WELL Building Standard, plus Platinum WiredScore and SmartScore Certifications, the global standards for digitally connected and technologically advanced smart buildings. On the upper office floors, occupants will have exclusive access to the Executive Club. A purpose-built environment that integrates luxury, discretion, and convenience, the dedicated space will feature private lounges, meeting zones, and concierge support, all tailored to the needs of senior decision-makers. Meanwhile, at the building summit, the Sky Theatre will offer a stunning venue for high-level forums, product launches, and executive gatherings - with panoramic views across Dubai. Advanced acoustics, LED walls, and modular seating will support a variety of functions. And with wellness central to Lumena's philosophy, the Executive Wellness Suite is set to feature high-performance training and recovery zones, designed to support peak physical and mental performance. Another highlight, the Sky Pool, will be suspended above the city and surrounded by biophilic landscaping to deliver a 'rare sense of stillness and perspective'. With the addition of a business club on Level 34, the tower seeks to offer a future-forward take on work-life synergy. Internationally renowned architects and consultants will help realise Lumena, including amenities integrated across the tower and podium to support productivity, wellness, and world-class executive-level experiences. The interconnected podium will house six curated retail concepts, fine dining, and wellness and lifestyle facilities designed to serve building occupants as well guests from the Business Bay and Downtown communities. With dual vehicular access points they will be able to easily utilise the property's 1,000-plus parking spaces, including designated areas for office use, retail operations, and visitors. Lumena builds on the success of The Opus and Enara as the next evolution in an Omniyat portfolio designed for business leaders, creatives, and innovators seeking workspaces that reflect growth and ambition. 'This exceptional project reflects Omniyat's ongoing commitment to shaping the commercial landmarks of tomorrow,' adds Mr Amjad. By mastering what the homegrown company calls 'The Art of Elevation', and merging ultra-luxury with curated living, it pledges to deliver bespoke designs and experiences encasing residential, hospitality, and retail spaces, alongside its other iconic masterpieces, including One at Palm Jumeirah Residences, ORLA, and The Lana.
