Developers in Dubai continue to compete on the world stage as a new development in Business Bay wins an award at a European property show. This international award, given to new and upcoming tower developments, will be presented at the MIPIM awards in France, attended by the leading engineers, architects and developers in the industry.

The “Cluster Complex”, designed by Denton Corker Marshall, will add a range of new services to Business Bay and will stand in contrast to the usual office towers in the area. Designed to allow professionals in Business Bay to live and work in the same place, the complex is a tower development divided into four smaller towers and connected in the centre by a 225 meter atrium. The four towers, 75 floors each, are also divided into smaller sections or “clusters” and each cluster is an individual office building between 5 and 11 floors. To make the towers even more visionary, they will be connected by “sky lobbies” on several levels. These lobbies will have landscaped gardens and panoramic views of Business Bay.

At the base of the development will be a five level podium which will have several apartments and a hotel. The podium will also have a range of shops, restaurants, cafes and even street performers, giving you the sense of being outside on a busy, cosmopolitan street. In fact, Denton Corker Marshall, who have also worked as city planners, have given the whole development the feeling of a small city. This will provide residents with a range of services and will give Business Bay a new focus.
