OMNIYAT Unveils Lumena: The Future of Luxury Commercial Spaces in Dubai
A New Landmark in Dubai’s Skyline
OMNIYAT, a trailblazer in Dubai’s luxury real estate sector, has recently introduced Lumena, an ultra-luxury commercial development that aims to redefine the workplace experience. Situated on Sheikh Zayed Road, right in the Burj Khalifa district and strategically positioned at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, Lumena is set to transform the commercial landscape upon its completion in the third quarter of 2029.
The launch event, held on June 18 at the iconic Museum of the Future, featured a mesmerizing sound and light show, revealing Lumena as a significant addition to Dubai’s contemporary architecture. With a gross development value of Dh3.6 billion, the architectural model will be displayed at Studio 12 at The Opus by OMNIYAT from June 19-22, providing potential tenants and design enthusiasts a glimpse of what lies ahead.
Architectural Genius Meets Strategic Planning
“Lumena is the future of commercial real estate in Dubai,” states Mahdi Amjad, the Founder and Executive Chairman at OMNIYAT. The building’s design emphasizes a new paradigm aligned with the evolving needs of modern work and life, integrating technology and innovative features to maximize occupant experience. The sculpted facade of Lumena is not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional, facilitating the flow of ideas and commerce within its walls.
The name "Lumena" is derived from the Latin lumen, meaning illumination, and the Japanese ena, implying blessing. This concept underscores the building’s intention to foster clarity, purpose, and momentum. The design cleverly interlaces panoramic views with natural materials, incorporating biophilic elements that enhance light, greenery, and airflow—fundamental to promoting well-being and productivity.
Optimized Space & Strategic Location
Standing tall at 48 stories, Lumena features a slender, elegant profile designed to optimize views of the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and Jumeirah Beach. Its innovative cantilevered structures provide unique vantage points, integrating shared amenities that enrich the experience of every occupant. Conveniently located near the Business Bay metro station, it offers seamless access to Dubai’s bustling business, retail, and lifestyle hubs, making it a prime location for corporate endeavors.
Lumena consists of 91 shell-and-core office units classified into three categories: 59 premium offices, 30 half-floor offices, and 2 full-floor offices, with a total internal office area spanning 582,184 sq. ft. Every unit is designed with clean lines, high ceilings of 3m, and minimal column interference—enhancing both form and function. The flexibility allows tenants to fully customize their spaces to fit their operational needs, amplifying productivity within an environment of openness and light.
Unrivaled Amenities and Exceptional Service
Reflecting OMNIYAT’s commitment to excellence, Lumena offers an unparalleled suite of amenities designed for corporate success and employee well-being. A comprehensive concierge service caters to all needs, from meeting room management to luxury travel arrangements. Drawing upon OMNIYAT’s expertise in delivering high-touch hospitality, tenants will experience five-star services tailored for today’s discerning professionals.
Meeting the latest British Council for Offices (BCO) standards, Lumena accommodates occupancy density while fostering spacious, high-end environments. It aspires for various global sustainability certifications, including LEED Platinum—a testament to its focus on occupant well-being and sustainable design practices. Future certifications under the WELL Building Standard, as well as Platinum WiredScore and SmartScore, will further reflect Lumena’s status as a smart, digitally connected environment.
Wellness at the Core
At Lumena, wellness transcends mere amenities; it is woven into the very fabric of the building’s philosophy. The Executive Wellness Suite boasts advanced training and recovery zones, designed to support employees’ physical and mental well-being. The Sky Pool offers a unique escape suspended above the city, surrounded by nature-inspired landscapes.
Additional wellness features include dedicated floors that focus on cultivating a work-life balance, curated wellness experiences, and exclusive spaces tailored to executives’ needs—such as the private Business Club on Level 34 and the Sky Theatre atop the tower, equipped for high-level forums and events.
Integration of Lifestyle and Work
Designed to embrace modern lifestyles, Lumena’s interconnected podium will host six curated retail concepts, alongside fine dining and lifestyle facilities, serving both occupants and the wider Business Bay and Downtown communities. This holistic approach promises to provide a vibrant and engaging atmosphere for professionals, encouraging social interaction and collaboration.
An Artistic Vision by OMNIYAT
Creating iconic structures across Dubai and globally, OMNIYAT is synonymous with artistry and quality. Building on the success of previous landmark projects like The Opus and Enara, Lumena represents the next evolution in high-end commercial spaces. Designed for business leaders, creatives, and innovators, Lumena’s aesthetic and functional attributes reflect ambitions that align with the dynamic growth of Dubai’s property landscape.
With Lumena, OMNIYAT is not just constructing a building; it is establishing a vibrant community where professionals can thrive in an environment thoughtfully designed for the future of work and well-being.
