It´s a brand new day in the city of Dubai and you´re on your way to the office. You cruise in the direction of the parking bay, pausing briefly to allow the sensor to recognize your number plate. Soon, you´re striding into one of the high performance elevators, knowing that its smooth ascent to your office floor will be a sensory experience in more ways than one.
At your command, the entrance to your office glides open and the temperature, lighting and blinds preempt any move on your part. You ease into your workday - sending emails, checking appointments, scheduling meetings and even calling for a coffee - without lifting a finger. And no, there isn´t a personal assistant in sight.
To many, this may seem right out of a sci-fi movie. To you, it´s just another day at One Business Bay.
Business Bay is Dubai's answer to New York's Manhattan skyline and Tokyo's Ginza, two of the business capitals of the world. Covering an area of 64 million square ft, Business Bay is hailed as the region's new business capital.
Location
Access and visibility are important factors in a business location.
One Business Bay has the advantage of both.
Standing proud at the entrance of Business Bay, the tower occupies the best location in the development. Its prime position is further enhanced by its immediate proximity to Dubai´s growth corridor - Sheikh Zayed Road, and to the Business Bay Metro. The tower´s impressive neighbours include Burj Dubai - the world´s tallest building, Dubai International Financial Centre, Emirates Towers and has views of the famous Burj Al Arab.
Exterior Views
With One Business Bay, Dubai gains yet another architectural marvel. The tower´s distinctive futuristic form gives it the appearance of a skillfully cut diamond.
Enhancing the elegance of its wall-to-wall glass facade, are three projected storeys that seem suspended in mid air. Dramatically rising up to embrace the sky with outstretched arms, the tower´s design also seems to reflect the exuberance of human emotion. Water features and beautifully landscaped surroundings add to the aesthetics of this unique structure.
Interior Views
The inspiration of the form and character of One Business Bay is a product of a marriage of the vision of the future for Dubai and that of Almasa Holdings. Office Views

Facilities
At One Business Bay, you´ve got technology that´s able to understand you on your terms. This is an environment where you can interact with machines the way you do with people: by talking, moving, pointing or gesturing. The way this has been achieved is through `cybertecture´. Designed from the inside out, cybertecture uses technology to give an environment the intelligence needed to interface with its users.
Commercial
Versatile and highly-advanced technology such as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), wireless internet technology and fully integrated intelligent business and energy management systems are put to use towards one simple end - to create working spaces that are as advanced as the people in them.
Retail
Terraced restaurants offer the perfect ambience for a business lunch or a relaxed meal with friends, and a bistro that opens out onto a pretty terrace-garden is a great setting for casual al fresco dining. One Business Bay also has prayer rooms, a convenience store, dry cleaner, banking facilities and a travel centre. And should a business meeting or luncheon demand a quick trip to a beauty or hair salon, or even a nail spa, it´s reassuring to know that these facilities are also at hand.
The Business Centre on the first floor has a variety of meeting rooms and a large conference room that overlooks the Business Bay´s sprawling grounds and impressive waterways. The Centre allows you to maximize your office space or to accommodate unforeseen meetings. Of course, there´s more to life than work. For some, that translates into a good workout at the state-of-the-art health club, with its fully equipped gym, sauna, steam room, whirlpool bath and plunge pool.
Furnished office
Function just as eagerly embraces form. Expanding in size as it rises in height and grows from an area of 9090sq.ft on the first floor to an expanse of 15,943sq.ft on the 29th floor. This unusual vertical expansion allows for increased flexibility of office layouts. |
