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.

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 Images: Supplied
