OMNIYAT announced on Thursday that it 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. The 48-storey tower will set a new benchmark for workplace environments in the region upon its completion in Q4 2029.
With a gross development value of AED3.6 billion, Lumena launched at the Museum of the Future with a sound and light show on June 18. Its architectural model will be on display at Studio 12 at The Opus by OMNIYAT from June 19-22, providing a glimpse into the future of Dubai’s commercial spaces.
“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,” said Mahdi Amjad, founder and executive chairman at OMNIYAT.
Strategic location ensures connection to Dubai’s prime hubs
Drawing from the Latin word ‘lumen’ for illumination and ‘ena’, a Japanese word suggesting blessing, Lumena symbolizes 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.
In addition, Lumena is strategically designed to maximize 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.
91 office units across three categories
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., OMNIYAT engineered Lumena for optimal efficiency, featuring flexible floorplates with minimal columns, a rear-core layout and clear ceiling heights of 3m within office spaces. OMNIYAT is offering units with full fit-out flexibility, so buyers and tenants can customize layouts, while a palatial use of space, including high ceilings and full-height windows, ushers openness and light.
Furthermore, the tower 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.
“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,” added Amjad.
Superior services tailored to the needs of senior decision-makers
As part of OMNIYAT’s portfolio of residential, commercial and hospitality properties, superior service is built into the core experience at Lumena. A full suite of concierge offerings includes 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.
OMNIYAT manages these services, which draw from the brand’s experience in delivering high-touch hospitality across its award-winning commercial towers, residences and hotels, including Enara by OMNIYAT, and The Opus by OMNIYAT.
Occupants will also have exclusive access to the Executive Club, a purpose-built environment that integrates luxury, discretion and convenience. Accessible from the upper office floors, this dedicated space offers private lounges, meeting zones and concierge support, all tailored to the needs of senior decision-makers.
OMNIYAT designed Lumena 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. It is targeting multiple world-class certifications, reflecting its commitment to sustainability, occupant wellbeing and technological integration, including the LEED Platinum certification, the highest ratings for sustainable commercial developments in the world.
Lumena is also likely to achieve a 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.

Future-forward take on work-life synergy
At its summit, OMNIYAT’s Lumena houses the Sky Theatre – intended for high-level forums, product launches, and executive gatherings and offering panoramic views across Dubai. It is equipped with advanced acoustics, LED walls and modular seating to support a variety of functions.
Wellness is also central to Lumena’s philosophy. The Executive Wellness Suite, complete with high-performance training and recovery zones, supports peak physical and mental performance. Meanwhile, the Sky Pool, suspended above the city and surrounded by biophilic landscaping, offers a rare sense of stillness and perspective. Wellness floors on Levels 21 and 22, a private Business Club on Level 34 and an exclusive Sky Theatre and event venue at the tower’s apex offer a future-forward take on work-life synergy.
Lumena’s amenities are also integrated across the tower and podium to support productivity, wellness and world-class executive-level experiences. An interconnected podium will house six curated retail concepts, fine dining, wellness and lifestyle facilities to serve building occupants and guests from the Business Bay and Downtown communities.
