Omniyat unveils $980mln ultra-luxury project in Dubai
UAE - Omniyat, a leading developer in Dubai's luxury real estate landscape, has launched Lumena, an ultra-luxury commercial development located on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Burj Khalifa district, at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai. A work of architectural mastery where every line draws upward, and every space is designed to inspire clarity, confidence, and command, the 48-storey tower will set a new benchmark for workplace environments in the region upon its completion in Q4 2029. Lumena, which boasts a Gross Development Value of AED3.6 billion, was yesterday (June 18) launched at the Museum of the Future with a stunning sound and light show. Its architectural model will be on display at Studio 12 at The Opus by Omniyat from 19-22 June, providing a glimpse into the future of Dubai's commercial spaces, it stated. Founder and Executive Chairman Mahdi Amjad said: "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 want 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," he stated.. Drawing from the Latin word 'lumen' for illumination and 'ena', a Japanese word suggesting blessing, Lumena symbolises clarity, purpose, and forward momentum. The tower's design 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. With its slender form and elevated architectural profile, Lumena is strategically designed to maximise views of Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and Jumeirah Beach. A series of cantilevered structures throughout the tower introduces unique vantage points and shared amenities that enhance the experience for all occupants. Uniquely located near Business Bay metro station, it is well connected to Dubai's prime business, retail and lifestyle hubs. Close to Downtown and Burj Khalifa, it is minutes away from major attractions, yet with its soaring form, also boasts Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab & ocean views. Lumena brings together functional precision and spatial sophistication. The tower comprises 91 shell-and-core office units across three categories: 59 offices (three per floor plate), 30 half floor offices (two per floor plate), and 2 full-floor offices, said Amjad. With an internal office area of 582,184 sq. ft., Lumena is engineered for optimal efficiency, featuring flexible floorplates with minimal columns, a rear-core layout, and clear ceiling heights of 3m within office spaces. Units are 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, he stated. Lumena is strategically located just 10 minutes from Burj Khalifa and 13 minutes from Dubai International Airport, with dual vehicular access points. It offers over 1,000 parking spaces, including designated areas for office use, retail operations, and visitors.

OMNIYAT redefines Dubai's commercial landscape with the launch of ultra-luxury project
Dubai's iconic and constantly evolving skyline gets a new addition. Known for its artistic and visionary projects, OMNIYAT, one of the leading developers in the country, unveiled its latest project, Lumena, at the Museum of the Future. With a Gross Development Value of AED 3.6 billion, Lumena is the latest in a series of high-end developments by OMNIYAT. '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 want to work and live,' said Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman at OMNIYAT. Located on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Burj Khalifa district, at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, Lumena aims to offer executive-grade office space that caters to what OMNIYAT describes as the next era of business leadership. 'Sheikh Zayed Road, particularly the Burj Khalifa District, is emerging as Dubai's new power corridor and Lumena is designed to lead that transformation,' said Amjad. 'With Lumena, OMNIYAT isn't just observing the shift—we're defining the next centre of gravity for business in the city'. Ultra-luxury offices with panoramic views The tower comprises 91 shell-and-core office units across three categories: 59 offices (three per floor plate), 30 half floor offices (two per floor plate), and 2 full-floor offices. With an internal office area of 582,184 sq. ft. Designed with flexible floorplates, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glazing, the building emphasises openness and adaptability. The structure features a series of cantilevered elements designed to offer panoramic views of Dubai's landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa and Jumeirah Beach. The building also integrates biophilic elements, natural textures, and airflow mechanisms aimed at enhancing the interiors. Innovation and sustainability are at the core of Lumena's design. The project is targeting multiple world-class certifications, reflecting its commitment to sustainability, occupant well-being, and technological integration, including LEED Platinum certifications, Platinum WELL Building Standard™, Platinum WiredScore, and SmartScore. '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,' said Amjad. Luxury is incomplete without the amenities that follow. It's not just architecture that sets Lumena apart. Its amenities rival five-star resorts: a Sky Pool suspended above the city, an Executive Wellness Suite for elite performance and recovery, private lounges, concierge-run meeting rooms, and a Sky Theatre poised to host high-level forums and product launches, all signal a future where work and well-being are inseparable. A curated retail podium will also include fine dining, wellness services, and retail outlets aimed at both building tenants and the surrounding Business Bay and Downtown Dubai communities. Amjad said the launch of Lumena follows a growing demand for high-specification workspaces. 'At OMNIYAT, we follow the signals of global capital and regional ambition. The success of Enara confirmed a clear appetite for workspace environments that match the elevated lifestyle of today's decision-makers. Lumena is our answer to that, a tower crafted for the next era of business leadership'. As per Amjad, these developments are aimed at a clientele that includes senior executives, family offices, and innovation-driven enterprises. 'Clients that value discretion, design, and digital readiness. These are C-suite visionaries, family offices, and innovation-driven enterprises. At AED 3.6 billion GDV, Lumena meets a demand that's not defined by budget, but by belief in quality and long-term value'. OMNIYAT's latest landmark in Dubai The tower's location near Business Bay Metro Station and its proximity to Dubai International Airport (13 minutes by car) are key selling points. With direct vehicular access and over 1,000 parking spaces, the development is positioned for connectivity. 'Connectivity is one of the project's strongest USPs: we're at the nexus of Business Bay and Downtown, directly linked to the metro, minutes from the airport, and surrounded by Dubai's most strategic commercial, retail, and lifestyle destinations,' said Amjad. As Dubai continues to attract global investors, high-net-worth individuals, and multinational corporations, demand for premium office space with integrated amenities is increasing. OMNIYAT's recent developments, including The Opus and Enara, have tapped into this trend by offering commercial real estate that combines architectural design with lifestyle features. Lumena appears to be an extension of this strategy, emphasising design, wellness, and service. 'Lumena is more than a building, it's a vision sculpted in light, wellness, and future-proofed ambition,' said Amjad. 'It reflects the values that define OMNIYAT: precision, purpose, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. As with every masterpiece we deliver, we're not here to follow trends, we're here to set new standards'. Lumena's architectural model is available for public viewing at Studio 12 at The Opus by OMNIYAT from June 19–22.

‘Gateway to Business Bay': Dubai's new landmark to have open-air sky theatre
Dubai is set to welcome a striking new landmark — the 'Gateway to Business Bay' — featuring an open-air Sky Theatre, a first-of-its-kind entertainment and event space located at the top of a commercial tower. With a gross development value of Dh3.6 billion, the 48-storey Lumena Tower by Omniyat is a flagship commercial development strategically positioned on Sheikh Zayed Road, at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai. Scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2029, the Lumena Tower will introduce 650,000 square feet of Grade A leasable office space to the city. 'We acquired this significant plot earlier this year and envisioned it as a gateway,' said Mahdi Amjad, founder and executive chairman of Omniyat. 'We remained true to that vision and designed a tower that represents a world-class business environment.' One of the tower's most distinctive features is the Sky Theatre — a unique amenity for a commercial building in Dubai. This open-air venue will serve as a dynamic space for events and entertainment, enhancing the tower's appeal. The building will offer 91 shell-and-core office units, all designed with full fit-out flexibility, allowing buyers and tenants to customize their office layouts to suit their needs. 'It has several key features that will redefine commercial office space in Dubai,' Mahdi explained. 'We are designing for the future — thinking about how offices will function in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, abundance, and rapid evolution. Our goal is to create work environments that truly empower their users.' Lumena Tower is the latest addition to Omniyat's commercial portfolio. Mahdi emphasised the importance of high-quality office infrastructure to support Dubai's continued growth. 'The city is expanding rapidly and attracting a wave of new residents and businesses. A high-quality office environment is essential for fostering trade and business activity,' he said. 'There's a clear shortage of premium commercial space, and through developments like Lumena, we aim to help bridge that gap and better balance supply and demand in the market.'
