Lumena by Omniyat has once again set its sights on pushing the limits of commercial real estate in Dubai, where the skyline is always changing and new ideas and ambitious architecture are the norm. OMNIYAT has changed the game for ultra-luxury workspaces with the opening of Lumena, a 48-story, 260-meter tower at the entrance to Business Bay on Sheikh Zayed Road. Lumena is more than just an office building; it’s a statement of clarity, ambition, and architectural intent. It was made to inspire, empower, and elevate.
Lumena is set to be finished in the third quarter of 2029. It will be a place for business leaders, creatives, and innovators to work that shows what the future of work will look like.
The OMNIYAT Legacy
OMNIYAT has been a leader in Dubai’s luxury real estate market for a long time. Their portfolio includes famous projects like The Opus by OMNIYAT and Enara by OMNIYAT. People love these developments because of their bold design, careful craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication to quality. With Lumena, OMNIYAT continues its tradition of building landmarks that are creative, rare, and of the highest quality. This further solidifies its reputation as a leader in high-end commercial and residential developments.
Architectural Vision and Design Principles
The name Lumena comes from the Latin word lumen, which means “light,” and the Japanese word ena, which means “blessings.” They all work together to give the tower a sense of clarity, purpose, and momentum, which are all important parts of its design. The building’s sculpted front, with its flowing lines and vertical thrust, is a visual representation of ambition and business. The double-height glazing, natural materials, and biophilic elements all work together to make a workspace that is both functional and inspiring.
The tower’s tall, thin shape and high profile are meant to give the best views of Dubai’s most famous landmarks, such as Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah Beach, the Burj Al Arab, and the Arabian Gulf. Cantilevered structures throughout the building create unique views and shared spaces that make the experience better for everyone who lives there. Adding natural light, plants, and fresh air to a space makes it a better place to work and live, making sure that Lumena is not just a place to work, but a place to thrive.
Strategic Location and Unmatched Connectivity
The fact that Lumena is at the crossroads of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai puts it in the middle of the city’s business, shopping, and lifestyle centers. The tower is:
- 10 minutes from the Burj Khalifa
- 13 minutes from the Airport in Dubai
- Just a few minutes from DIFC (Dubai International Financial Center), Dubai Mall, and the Dubai Canal
- Next to the Business Bay Metro Station and the future Gold Line Metro Station
With two ways for cars to get in and out and more than 1,000 parking spots, Lumena makes it easy for tenants, visitors, and guests to get around. The building is close to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, which makes it easy to get to any part of the city. This makes it a great choice for businesses looking for a prestigious and convenient address.
Office Spaces: Style, Efficiency, and Flexibility
There are 91 shell-and-core office units from Lumena in three different categories:
- 59 high-end offices (three on each floor plate)
- 30 offices on half-floors (two per floor plate)
- 2 offices on the same floor
The total office space is 582,184 square feet, and the floor plates are flexible, there are few columns, and the layout of the back core makes the most of the space. The full-height windows and clear ceiling heights of 3 meters let in a lot of natural light, making the space feel open and airy. Each unit comes with full fit-out flexibility, so tenants can make their workspace fit their needs and brand identity.
The building’s design is meant to be as efficient as possible, and double-deck passenger lifts make sure that a lot of people can move up and down quickly and comfortably. This level of care makes sure that Lumena is not only a beautiful building, but also a very useful one.
Unmatched Amenities and Services of Five Stars
The goal of Lumena is to go above and beyond what even the pickiest business leaders expect. Its amenities and services are carefully chosen to help with productivity, health, and world-class executive experiences:
Theater in the Sky
At the top of the tower, Lumena has the region’s first Sky Theatre. This is a purpose-built space for high-level forums, product launches, and executive meetings. The Sky Theatre has advanced sound systems, LED walls, and modular seating. It also has great views of Dubai, making it a great place for important events and presentations.
Wellness Suite for Executives
Wellness is at the heart of Lumena’s philosophy. The Executive Wellness Suite has high-performance training and recovery areas that are meant to help you perform at your best physically and mentally. The Sky Pool is suspended above the city and surrounded by biophilic landscaping. It gives people a rare sense of peace and perspective, which helps them recharge and feel better.

The Owners’ Club at Lumena gives members exclusive access to high-end amenities and services, making sure that residents have the best possible comfort and ease.
Podium of Life

Wellness at the Center

The Executive Wellness Suite and Sky Pool are great places to relax and get your body and mind back in shape. Levels 21 and 22 also have wellness floors that are great for relaxing and recovering. The private Business Club on Level 34 and the Sky Theatre at the top of the tower offer a complete way to balance work and life, making sure that people can be productive and healthy at the same time.
