Lumena, an ultra-luxury commercial complex situated on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Burj Khalifa region, at the confluence of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, was inaugurated by OMNIYAT on Thursday. When the 48-story tower is finished in Q4 2029, it will establish a new standard for working conditions in the area.
Lumena, which has a gross development value of AED 3.6 billion, debuted on June 18 with a light and sound show at the Museum of the Future. From June 19 to 22, OMNIYAT’s architectural model will be on exhibit at Studio 12 at The Opus, offering a preview of Dubai’s commercial spaces of the future.
“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
Lumena, derived from the Latin word “lumen,” which means illumination, and the Japanese word “ena,” which means blessing, represents clarity, purpose, and onward motion. In order to improve performance, productivity, and well-being, the tower’s design incorporates biophilic components, natural materials, and panoramic vistas. This allows light, greenery, and ventilation to enter the workstation.
Lumena is also thoughtfully planned to optimize views of Jumeirah Beach, Downtown Dubai, and the Burj Khalifa. Throughout the tower, a number of cantilevered structures offer distinctive viewpoints and common areas that improve the experience for every resident.
It is well situated next to the Business Bay metro station and has easy access to Dubai’s main commercial, shopping, and leisure areas. It is minutes from key sites including Downtown and the Burj Khalifa, but its towering shape also offers views of the Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, and the ocean.
91 office units across three categories
Three categories make up the tower’s 91 shell-and-core office units: two full-floor offices, 30 half-floor offices (two per floor plate), and 59 offices (three per floor plate).
With 582,184 square feet of internal office space, OMNIYAT designed Lumena for maximum efficiency. It has a rear-core configuration, flexible floorplates with few columns, and office spaces with clear ceiling heights of 3 meters. A lavish use of space, such as high ceilings and full-height windows, ushers in openness and light, while OMNIYAT is offering units with complete fit-out freedom, allowing owners and tenants to choose layouts.
In addition, the tower has two car access points and is ideally situated approximately ten minutes from the Burj Khalifa and thirteen minutes from Dubai International Airport. It provides more than 1,000 parking spots, including spaces set aside for visitors, office use, and retail businesses.
“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
The primary experience at Lumena, which is a residential, business, and hospitality property in OMNIYAT’s portfolio, incorporates exceptional service. Reception, conference room management, spa and wellness coordination, lifestyle reservations, personal services, and customized experiences including event planning, upscale travel, and private shopping are all included in the full range of concierge services.
These services are run by OMNIYAT, which leverages its expertise in providing high-touch hospitality in its award-winning hotels, apartments, and commercial towers, such as Enara by OMNIYAT and The Opus by OMNIYAT.
Additionally, residents will have exclusive access to the Executive Club, a specially designed space that combines convenience, elegance, and confidentiality. This dedicated area, which is reachable from the upper office floors, provides key decision-makers with private lounges, meeting rooms, and concierge services.
Lumena was created by OMNIYAT to satisfy the most recent British Council for Offices (BCO) guidelines, allowing for an occupancy level of one person per 10 square meters while preserving roomy, upscale settings. In order to demonstrate its dedication to sustainability, occupant well-being, and technological integration, it is aiming for several top-tier certifications, such as the LEED Platinum certification, which is the highest grade for environmentally friendly business developments worldwide.
In addition, Lumena is probably going to receive Platinum WiredScore and SmartScore Certifications, which are international benchmarks for technologically sophisticated and digitally connected smart buildings, as well as Platinum WELL Certification from the WELL Building Standard.
Future-forward take on work-life synergy
The Sky Theatre, located in OMNIYAT’s Lumena at the top, is designed for executive meetings, high-level seminars, and product premieres while providing expansive views of Dubai. To accommodate a range of uses, it has LED walls, modular seating, and sophisticated acoustics.
Another essential component of Lumena’s concept is wellness. Peak physical and mental performance is supported by the Executive Wellness Suite, which has recovery areas and high-performance training areas. In the meanwhile, the Sky Pool provides a unique sense of perspective and tranquility while hovering over the city and encircled by biophilic landscaping. A forward-thinking approach to work-life balance is provided via the wellness floors on Levels 21 and 22, the private Business Club on Level 34, and the exclusive Sky Theatre and event space at the top of the skyscraper.
Additionally, Lumena’s facilities are included throughout the podium and tower to promote wellness, productivity, and top-notch executive-level experiences. Six carefully chosen retail concepts, fine dining options, health centers, and lifestyle amenities will be housed on an integrated platform to cater to building tenants and visitors from the Downtown and Business Bay areas.
