1970 Office Tower — A New Al Habtoor Group Development in Business Bay

1970 Office Tower adds a dedicated commercial address to Al Habtoor City, the Al Habtoor Group’s mixed-use district on Sheikh Zayed Road. The tower is composed of distinct stacked volumes joined by landscaped terraces, with a high-performance glazed facade wrapping the upper office floors. Positioned directly on the Dubai Water Canal, it sits alongside Habtoor Palace Dubai, V Hotel Dubai and Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, giving occupiers a business address inside an established hospitality and residential community rather than a standalone office block.

50 Low-Rise Office Floors Above a Seven-Level Podium

The tower rises through a seven-level podium before reaching 50 dedicated office floors, keeping floor plates low-rise in feel despite the building’s 289-metre height. Office suites range from 1,884 to 2,393 sq ft, sized for single-company ownership rather than subdivided leasing. Two dedicated amenities floors sit within the tower, separating office space from the podium’s retail and hospitality functions.

Direct Access to Sheikh Zayed Road and the Dubai Water Canal

1970 Office Tower fronts the Dubai Water Canal at the point where Sheikh Zayed Road passes through Al Habtoor City, giving occupiers a canal-facing business address with direct road access rather than a set-back commercial plot. Business Bay Metro Station is roughly 5 minutes away, and Dubai International Airport is reachable in around 18 minutes, useful for companies with regular client or staff travel.

Business Lounge, Coworking Zone and Meeting Rooms On Site

The building’s amenities floors include a business lounge, private meeting rooms and a dedicated coworking zone, supporting companies that need flexible workspace alongside their own leased or owned suite. A grand lobby with a dedicated arrival zone, plus ground-floor retail and dining outlets, extends the working day without leaving the building. This mix suits both established companies and smaller teams scaling their office footprint.

Landscaped Sky Terraces and a Rooftop Helipad

Recessed landscaped terraces separate the tower’s stacked volumes at several levels, breaking up the office floors with outdoor space rather than a single sealed glass shaft. A rooftop helipad sits at the top of the building. Two basement levels handle parking and building logistics, keeping servicing separate from the ground-floor arrival and retail areas used by tenants and visitors.

1970 Office Tower Location — Business Bay, Dubai

Al Habtoor City sits on Sheikh Zayed Road where it meets the Dubai Water Canal, on the Business Bay side of Dubai's central business corridor. The district combines three five-star hotels and three residential towers with direct road access to Downtown Dubai and DIFC. Business Bay itself is an established, freehold, canal-front commercial and residential district, built around Dubai's main waterway rather than a newly reclaimed area.

Property Types at 1970 Office Tower

Office suites at 1970 Office Tower run up to 2,393 sq ft, positioned on the tower’s upper floors behind a high-performance glazed facade that wraps the office section of the building. Floor plates are laid out for single-company occupancy rather than multi-tenant subdivision, with the seven-level podium and two dedicated amenities floors separating office space from the building’s retail, dining and hospitality functions at ground level.

The smallest available offices start from 1,884 sq ft, suited to standalone teams or smaller companies that want ownership rather than a lease. Every suite sits within the same 50-floor office stack, giving smaller buyers the same address, entrance and amenities floors as occupiers on higher, larger floors. Two basement levels handle parking for the whole tower, so unit size does not affect access to on-site parking.

Construction Timeline

Investment Appeal of 1970 Office Tower, Business Bay

1970 Office Tower combines single-ownership office suites, a Dubai Water Canal address inside an established business district, and entry at the EOI stage ahead of the tower's Q4 2026 sales launch, in a Dubai office market where Grade A demand continues to outpace new supply.

Early Entry Ahead of Launch

1970 Office Tower is currently open for Expression of Interest at AED 100,000, ahead of the formal sales launch in Q4 2026. Registering during this stage gives buyers early access to floor and unit selection across the tower’s 50 office floors, before pricing and availability are opened to the wider market. Handover is scheduled for Q1 2029, giving buyers roughly two and a half years between sales launch and completion to plan occupancy or onward leasing.

Business Bay Office Demand

Dubai’s Grade A office market has held rents at roughly AED 238 per sq ft, its first quarter without further rent growth since the first half of 2021, reflecting a market that has stabilised at a high level rather than cooled. Grade A office space across Dubai continues to outperform the wider leasing market, with occupier demand strong enough that much of the new supply due through 2030 is already being pre-leased ahead of completion. That backdrop supports single-owner product entering the market at the EOI stage.

UAE Golden Visa Eligibility

Office purchases at 1970 Office Tower clear the AED 2,000,000 minimum property value required for the UAE’s Golden Visa, since starting prices begin at AED 9,300,000. The Golden Visa gives qualifying buyers 10-year renewable UAE residency without a sponsor, with coverage extending to a spouse and dependants and no minimum stay requirement in the country. For an overseas company owner, this links a Business Bay office purchase directly to long-term UAE residency eligibility.

Infrastructure Advantages of Business Bay

Sheikh Zayed Road and Metro Access

1970 Office Tower sits directly on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai's main north-south highway, with Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line roughly 5 minutes away by car. Dubai International Airport is reachable in around 18 minutes along the same corridor. This gives office occupiers direct highway access for client visits and staff commuting, plus metro connectivity for employees travelling from across the city without a car. Al Meydan Road and Al Khail Road provide further routes into and out of Business Bay.

Dining and Hospitality On the Doorstep

Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and the Museum of the Future are all around 8 minutes away by car, placing the tower within easy reach of Dubai's main retail and dining district. Inside Al Habtoor City itself, Habtoor Palace Dubai, V Hotel Dubai and Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City host restaurants, bars and the La Perle by Dragone aqua theatre, giving occupiers and their visiting clients hospitality options without leaving the immediate area.

Healthcare and Established Community Scale

Emirates Hospital, Medcare Hospital and American Hospital Dubai are all reachable within roughly 12 minutes, giving occupiers established private healthcare close to the office. Al Habtoor City itself has operated since 2018, combining three hotels and three residential towers with the new office tower, so 1970 Office Tower joins a district with existing residents, hotel guests and daily footfall rather than a masterplan still under construction around it.
