Dubai’s New Landmark to have Open-Air Sky Theater

Dubai is set to welcome a striking new landmark – the “Gateway to Business Bay” – featuring an open-air Sky Theatre, a first-of-its-kind entertainment and event space located at the top of a commercial tower.

With a gross development value of Dh3.6 billion, the 48-storey Lumena Tower by Omniyat is a flagship commercial development strategically positioned on Sheikh Zayed Road, at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai.

Scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2029, the Lumena Tower will introduce 650,000 square feet of Grade A leasable office space to the city.

“We acquired this significant plot earlier this year and envisioned it as a gateway,” said Mahdi Amjad, founder and executive chairman of Omniyat. “We remained true to that vision and designed a tower that represents a world-class business environment.”

One of the tower’s most distinctive features is the Sky Theatre — a unique amenity for a commercial building in Dubai. This open-air venue will serve as a dynamic space for events and entertainment, enhancing the tower’s appeal.

The building will offer 91 shell-and-core office units, all designed with full fit-out flexibility, allowing buyers and tenants to customize their office layouts to suit their needs.

“It has several key features that will redefine commercial office space in Dubai,” Mahdi explained. “We are designing for the future — thinking about how offices will function in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, abundance, and rapid evolution. Our goal is to create work environments that truly empower their users.”

Lumena Tower is the latest addition to Omniyat’s commercial portfolio. Mahdi emphasised the importance of high-quality office infrastructure to support Dubai’s continued growth.

“The city is expanding rapidly and attracting a wave of new residents and businesses. A high-quality office environment is essential for fostering trade and business activity,” he said. “There’s a clear shortage of premium commercial space, and through developments like Lumena, we aim to help bridge that gap and better balance supply and demand in the market.”
