LUMENA ALTA by OMNIYAT — Dubai’s New Icon

OMNIYAT, one of Dubai’s leading luxury developers, has unveiled LUMENA ALTA — an ultra-luxury commercial tower set to redefine the architectural landscape of the city. Rising 380 meters above Shaikh Zayed Road in the Burj Khalifa district, this stunning project marks OMNIYAT’s 20th anniversary, symbolizing two decades of creativity, innovation, and excellence.

The launch of LUMENA ALTA comes with a projected gross development value exceeding AED 5 billion. With 73 levels and over 720,000 square feet of premium office space, the tower is poised to become the tallest commercial building in Business Bay upon its completion in 2030.

The Meaning Behind LUMENA ALTA

The name “LUMENA ALTA” reflects light, aspiration, and elevation. Derived from the Latin word lumen, meaning light, and alta, meaning height or elevation, the tower embodies the convergence of illumination and ambition. It represents OMNIYAT’s ongoing pursuit of excellence — creating architectural icons that capture the spirit of Dubai’s evolution.

With its graceful spiraling façade, the tower captures and refracts light by day and glows with soft radiance at night. The result is a living sculpture — a testament to OMNIYAT’s belief that buildings should inspire both visually and emotionally.

Transforming Dubai’s Commercial Landscape

According to Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman of OMNIYAT, Dubai’s position as the Middle East’s commercial hub continues to strengthen, driven by international investment and innovation. “As global enterprises and family offices establish regional headquarters in Dubai, demand for premium office space grows. LUMENA ALTA responds to this demand, setting new standards for design, functionality, and luxury,” he explained.

Situated at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, the tower connects directly to the future Dubai Metro Gold Line, ensuring strategic accessibility across the city — from DIFC to Dubai International Airport.

An Elevated Experience in Every Detail

Inside, LUMENA ALTA merges art, architecture, and functionality. The building offers shell-and-core office spaces across 73 floors, complete with private terraces, landscaped sky gardens, and panoramic views of Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, and the Arabian Gulf.

The tower’s triple-height sky lobbies, sunlit atriums, and vertical gardens create a balance between innovation and serenity. Ground-level retail and dining spaces curate an elevated lifestyle experience, while over 1,000 parking spaces — including valet and guest parking — reflect OMNIYAT’s attention to detail.

The Pinnacle of Luxury and Innovation

Crowning the tower will be a five-star lifestyle hotel offering world-class amenities and personalized service. Its highlight — the Sky Pool — will be suspended 335 meters above Dubai, becoming the highest infinity pool in the world.

At the summit, the Sky Restaurant will offer 360-degree panoramic views, uniting fine dining, art, and architecture in one elevated experience. Wellness zones, private fitness suites, hydrotherapy rooms, and vitality pools will provide residents and guests with a sanctuary of calm.

Excellence Beyond Design

LUMENA ALTA is conceived not only as an architectural landmark but also as a model of sustainability and smart technology. Designed to achieve multiple global certifications — including LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, and WiredScore Platinum — the project reflects OMNIYAT’s commitment to wellness, connectivity, and environmental responsibility.

OMNIYAT’s Legacy of Innovation

For two decades, OMNIYAT has crafted architectural icons that define Dubai’s skyline, from The Opus by Zaha Hadid to ENARA and LUMENA. With LUMENA ALTA, the developer continues its journey of transforming real estate into works of art — designed for leaders, creators, and visionaries who shape the future.
