LUMENA ALTA by Omniyat in Business Bay Dubai

LUMENA ALTA is an ultra-luxury 380-metre mixed-use commercial tower by Omniyat, rising 73 floors at the gateway to Business Bay on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. It will be the tallest commercial building in Business Bay upon completion in 2030. The tower integrates 91 Grade-A shell-and-core office units across 45 floors, a 5-star Sky Hotel, a sky pool at approximately 335 metres, a signature sky-level restaurant, a 25m indoor lap pool, and a curated retail and dining podium. Total office space: 723,545 sq.ft. GDV: AED 5 billion+.

LUMENA ALTA offers 91 office units in three configurations: 59 standard office units from approximately 4,966 sq.ft, 30 half-floor office suites at approximately 8,000 to 10,000 sq.ft, and 2 full-floor headquarters suites at up to 16,937 sq.ft. All units are delivered in shell-and-core format for complete customisation. Most units include floor-to-ceiling glazing, private terraces, and panoramic views of Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, and the Arabian Gulf.

Standard office units start from AED 19 million. Half-floor and full-floor office pricing is available on request. At approximately AED 3,800 per sq.ft for standard units, LUMENA ALTA represents the premium end of the Business Bay commercial market, reflecting its landmark architecture, four Platinum certifications, and the Sky Hotel and wellness amenities that are fully integrated into the tower.

LUMENA ALTA offers a 50/50 payment plan: 5% on booking, 45% across staged construction milestones, and 50% on handover in Q3 2030. This structure defers the majority of the purchase price — 50% — to completion, making it one of the most buyer-friendly payment structures available for a commercial asset of this scale in Dubai.

Handover is scheduled for Q3 2030. Some sources indicate a Q1 2030 target, with Q3 2030 as the confirmed delivery window. Omniyat launched the tower in October 2025 to mark the company’s 20th anniversary. Omniyat has a track record of delivering landmark commercial and hospitality projects on time, including LUMENA, The Opus by Zaha Hadid, and The Lana by Dorchester Collection.

LUMENA ALTA targets four simultaneous Platinum-level certifications: LEED Platinum for environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, WELL Building Platinum for occupant health and wellbeing standards, WiredScore Platinum for digital connectivity and smart infrastructure, and SmartScore Platinum for smart building technology integration. This multi-certification approach is unprecedented for a commercial tower in Dubai and reflects Omniyat’s commitment to future-ready, occupant-focused workplace design.

Amenities include a sky pool at approximately 335 metres with panoramic Burj Khalifa and Gulf views, a 25-metre indoor lap pool, vitality pools, a high-performance fitness centre, landscaped sky gardens integrated into office terraces across multiple floors, a signature sky-level restaurant, a curated retail and dining podium at ground level, Smart Building Management Systems throughout, EV charging stations, and 1,000 parking spaces divided across valet, guest, and retail allocations.

Omniyat was founded in 2005 by Mahdi Amjad and is one of Dubai’s most recognised luxury real estate developers, operating under the philosophy ‘The Art of Elevation.’ The company’s portfolio includes The Opus by Zaha Hadid — the first UAE mixed-use project personally designed by Dame Zaha Hadid — The Lana by Dorchester Collection, One at Palm Jumeirah, ENARA, and LUMENA (a 47-storey luxury commercial tower that sold out and sits alongside LUMENA ALTA at the Business Bay gateway). LUMENA ALTA marks Omniyat’s 20th year of delivering architectural landmark projects.

LUMENA ALTA is positioned directly on Sheikh Zayed Road at the entrance to Business Bay, at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai. It forms a twin-tower gateway alongside LUMENA by Omniyat. Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and DIFC are approximately 5 minutes away. Business Bay Metro Station is within walking distance. The tower is designed to connect directly to the future Dubai Metro Gold Line, and Dubai International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away.

LUMENA ALTA presents a compelling investment case for commercial buyers. Grade-A office supply in Business Bay is structurally limited, and LUMENA ALTA’s combination of landmark architecture, four Platinum certifications, Sky Hotel amenities, and Sheikh Zayed Road gateway address positions it to attract multinational tenants and premium rental rates. Comparable Grade-A commercial assets in Business Bay and DIFC are generating rental yields of 7 to 9% annually. The 50/50 payment plan minimises early capital outlay, and the planned Dubai Metro Gold Line connection adds long-term transport infrastructure value. LUMENA’s sell-out success provides direct comparable validation for LUMENA ALTA.

Shell-and-core delivery means that office units are handed over with structural elements complete — walls, columns, glazing, base MEP infrastructure — but without internal partitioning, flooring, ceiling finishes, or bespoke fit-out. This allows tenants and owner-occupiers complete freedom to customise their workspace according to their brand identity, operational requirements, and interior design standards. For Grade-A commercial space in a landmark like LUMENA ALTA, shell-and-core is the preferred delivery format for multinational occupiers, who typically invest in bespoke fit-outs that reflect their corporate culture.

LUMENA ALTA is the taller and larger of the two Omniyat commercial towers at the Business Bay gateway. At 380 metres and 73 floors, it surpasses LUMENA’s 47 floors and offers significantly more floor area per plate. Both towers sit on Sheikh Zayed Road and will connect to the future Metro Gold Line. Within the broader Business Bay commercial landscape, LUMENA ALTA is positioned at the absolute premium tier — above the standard Grade-A supply in the district — by virtue of its Omniyat brand premium, four Platinum certifications, Sky Hotel amenity stack, and shell-and-core configuration for full customisation.

Yes. Business Bay is a freehold commercial zone in Dubai, allowing international companies and investors of all nationalities to purchase offices outright with full ownership rights. There are no restrictions on nationality of ownership. Office assets in Dubai can be held individually, through companies, or through investment vehicles, and may be registered under the Dubai Land Department. For corporate occupiers, direct purchase also offers the option of eliminating tenancy costs and building equity in a trophy commercial asset.
