Blending biophilic design, skyline-defining architecture, and five-star hospitality, Lumena by OMNIYAT sets a new benchmark for the future of ultra-luxury workspaces in Dubai.

Dubai has long been the epicentre of architectural ambition, a skyline defined by its ability to surprise and inspire. With Lumena, OMNIYAT introduces not just another landmark, but a statement of intent—a recalibration of what the workplace of the future should look and feel like.

Positioned prominently along Sheikh Zayed Road, where Business Bay meets Downtown Dubai, Lumena is OMNIYAT’s boldest commercial project to date. Scheduled for completion in Q4 2029, the 48-storey tower aims to rewrite the rules of office life in a city that thrives on vision and velocity.

Sculpted for the Future

From the outside, Lumena strikes a delicate balance between restraint and dynamism. Its slender form and cantilevered structures create a rhythmic silhouette that subtly rises above the city. More than just aesthetic flourishes, these architectural gestures are deeply intentional; engineered to maximise light, deliver unique vantage points, and offer a glimpse into how future leaders will work, gather, and innovate.

“Lumena’s form is driven by lightness, fluidity, and clarity,” explains OMNIYAT’s founder and Executive Chairman, Mahdi Amjad. This design language permeates every detail, from uninterrupted floorplates to expansive glazing, creating internal environments that encourage both focus and flow.

The Art of Elevated Working

Lumena is more than an office building; it’s a lifestyle ecosystem. With 91 customisable shell-and-core units and a total internal office area exceeding 582,000 sq ft, flexibility lies at the heart of its design. Rear-core layouts, minimal columns, and soaring 3m ceiling heights ensure adaptability while maintaining a sense of openness and calm.

Yet it’s the amenities that position Lumena in a league of its own. The tower introduces several never-before-seen features for a commercial building in Dubai, most notably the Sky Theatre, a dramatic, summit-level space intended for leadership summits, keynote launches, and transformative thinking. It’s a hybrid venue: part auditorium, part sanctuary, offering breathtaking views across Burj Khalifa, Downtown, and Jumeirah Beach.

Floating high above the city, the Sky Pool and biophilic landscaping continue the narrative of stillness and wellbeing. Meanwhile, the Executive Wellness Suite caters to performance-driven professionals, with training, recovery, and mental health facilities designed to support peak output.

Designed for Visionaries

“Today’s leaders expect environments that support clarity, collaboration, and wellness,” notes Amjad. With this in mind, Lumena’s design integrates wellness at every scale—from full-height windows that draw in natural light, to curated green spaces that bring the outdoors in. LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, WiredScore, and SmartScore certifications are all being pursued, cementing Lumena’s commitment to sustainability, digital integration, and user-centric design.

A dedicated Executive Club will offer private lounges and concierge-level services, drawing from OMNIYAT’s track record in five-star residential and hospitality management. This includes The Opus by OMNIYAT and the recently unveiled Enara, developments known for seamlessly merging luxury and lifestyle.

Retail, Reach, and Relevance

Connectivity is another pillar of Lumena’s design. Located just minutes from Dubai International Airport and directly linked to the city’s major transport and business arteries, the tower is also well-positioned to serve local and international markets.

The interconnected podium will host six curated retail concepts, wellness facilities, and fine dining destinations. Together, they enhance the overall experience, not just for tenants but also for visitors and the wider Business Bay and Downtown communities.

A New Language of Luxury Workspaces

At its core, Lumena reflects a shift in how Dubai imagines work. It’s not about traditional offices with added flair—it’s a holistic redefinition of where and how business is done. The project’s name—derived from the Latin ‘lumen’ for light, and the Japanese ‘ena’ suggesting a blessing—encapsulates this duality of clarity and aspiration.

OMNIYAT’s ambition isn’t to dominate the skyline with sheer scale, but to offer precision, elegance, and enduring value. Lumena is the architectural embodiment of this vision—purpose-built for forward-thinking firms, creative studios, tech disruptors, and boutique investment houses seeking a base that reflects their ambition.

As the city continues to expand and evolve, Lumena feels like a timely and necessary recalibration: a space not only for working, but for leading, envisioning, and reimagining what’s next.
