The twin tower complex on Sheikh Zayed Road in Downtown Dubai was developed by The Private Office of H.H. Saeed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
-
The 1.5 million square foot development comprises a 52-storey tower and a 31-storey tower situated on each side of a multi-storey atrium lobby space.
-
The smaller tower houses the 350-room Sofitel Dubai Downtown hotel, while the taller tower contains 250 luxury serviced apartments as well as office space and a variety of shops, restaurants and services.
-
The towers rise to 667 and 435 feet (203 and 132 metres), with one being convex and one concave. Together they provide 213,470 square metres of mixed-use space.

Here’s what the architect says: “Shimmering veils of glass define the two towers, blurring the border between land and water or the desert salt flats and the gulf.
-
“The veil-like folded sheets of glass that cover the entire front facades create the sense of a patterned sunscreen and carve familiar shapes into the Dubai skyline on a monumental scale.
-
“Each tower bends and creases independently as it rises to the sky, creating both a sense of individuality and unity.”
-
The complex is connected to Dubai Mall and Metro by an air-conditioned ‘skywalk’.
