Tower brings ‘hotelification’ to Dubai’s busy Sheikh Zayed Road
LMD, the global real estate developer behind a portfolio of successful destinations across Europe, Egypt and the UAE, has announced the launch of Christian A. Rockefeller Business Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road.
A flagship addition to LMD’s Dubai portfolio, the branded Grade-A commercial development will become the city’s tallest commercial tower on completion. Drawing on the developer’s experience in hospitality-led destinations, the project brings the ‘hotelification’ of office space to Dubai, combining premium offices with hotel-inspired design and extensive wellness, dining and business amenities.
The tower is developed in partnership with Christian A. Rockefeller, a sixth-generation descendant of the Rockefeller family represented by Iconique Living Group (ILG), with sales and marketing led by Devmark, the UAE’s leading development sales and marketing consultancy.
Real estate debut
Rising 400m across 87 storeys, the development marks the global real estate debut of the Christian A. Rockefeller brand. Four office collections are complemented by five dedicated amenity floors, including two devoted to wellness.
An arrival hall, spa, infinity pool and padel court form part of the offering, alongside retail, cafés and dining. On Level 87, a sky business centre brings together lounges, podcast rooms, a ballroom and an Observatory pool overlooking the city.
Designed around the full business day, the tower offers opportunities for early-morning training before the first meeting, coffee with colleagues and time to unwind away from the desk. Companies can draw on shared facilities throughout the day and welcome guests for evening gatherings, extending the experience beyond their own offices.
Experience
“This approach to the hotelification of office space draws on our experience in delivering integrated, hospitality-led destinations across Europe, Egypt and the UAE, bringing that expertise to Sheikh Zayed Road,” stated Hamad Al Abbar, Managing Partner, LMD UAE.
The Rockefeller name is associated with a long-standing tradition of American enterprise, urban development and architectural patronage. Christian A. Rockefeller Business Tower draws on that heritage through an emphasis on stewardship, design quality and responsibility, with an ambition to create a commercial asset that remains relevant across generations.
“My family, across many branches, has historically been associated with long-term thinking, building institutions, infrastructure and cities designed to last, and my work today is a reflection of that mindset. In LMD we found a partner with both depth and vision, and together we are bringing the character and sophistication of a New York business address to Sheikh Zayed Road,” affirmed Christian A. Rockefeller.
Worldwide rollout
“Christian A. Rockefeller Business Tower is the first step in the worldwide rollout of the brand, and we are proud to bring it to market together with LMD,” asserted Daniel Kormann, Managing Director, Iconique Living Group.
“This is a proposition we believe is unmatched in any business district in Dubai: a location between two metro stations, a hotel-inspired amenity offering across five dedicated floors, and a choice of office configurations that speaks to owner-occupiers and investors alike. We look forward to bringing it to market,” observed Sean McCauley, CEO, Devmark.
