BEYOND Developments Unveils First Commercial Tower ‘31 Above’ in Dubai

DUBAI, UAE: BEYOND Developments, the bold and design-led real estate developer transforming Dubai Maritime City, has announced the launch of “31 Above”, its first commercial tower, and the first of its kind to be developed within Dubai Maritime City. Offering unrivalled views of the Dubai skyline and the Gulf, the project represents a major milestone in BEYOND’s strategic expansion into the commercial sector, introducing a next-generation business address for entrepreneurs, companies, and global enterprises seeking a dynamic presence in Dubai.

A Landmark for Dubai’s New Business Era

As Dubai’s economy continues to evolve under its ambitious growth agenda, 31 Above reflects the city’s forward-thinking approach to work and urban living. The emirate’s thriving economic ecosystem continues to attract global industries that prioritize connectivity, productivity, and employee wellbeing.

The tower is designed as a fusion of interlocking volumes and fluid geometries, combining functionality with artistry to create a new architectural language for Dubai Maritime City. Terraces, light-filled interiors, and rhythmic design lines redefine the traditional commercial workspace, blending accessibility and sophistication.

Strategic Vision and Leadership

Commenting on the launch, Adil Taqi, CEO of BEYOND Developments, said:

“Dubai stands today as a global capital for business growth and innovation, supported by a clear economic vision under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. ‘31 Above’ translates this momentum into a commercial address that strengthens business connectivity, productivity and access to opportunity. Located at Dubai Maritime City, the tower places companies at the centre of a highly strategic waterfront district, connected to global trade routes, major financial hubs and a vibrant growing community.”

He added:

“As BEYOND’s first commercial tower, this launch represents a significant milestone in our expansion and our contribution to Dubai’s dynamic business landscape.”

Architectural Identity and Location Advantage

Strategically located within Dubai Maritime City, 31 Above offers exceptional proximity to Dubai’s key business and lifestyle hubs, including DIFC, Downtown Dubai, and Mina Rashid, while maintaining easy connectivity to Dubai International Airport.

Architecturally, the tower rises as a composition of stacked and offset volumes, creating landscaped terraces and bold vertical lines that frame sweeping views of the sea and city. Inspired by Art Deco design principles, its fluid corners, strong geometry, and modern detailing give it a distinctive and confident identity along the waterfront.

Inside, natural materials, warm textures, and generous ceiling heights promote a sense of clarity and calm. The play of light and proportion is carefully designed to enhance both focus and wellbeing, aligning with BEYOND’s commitment to human-centered design.

Performance, Experience, and Wellbeing

Engineered for performance and efficiency, 31 Above features dual cores, destination-controlled high-speed elevators, and a hospitality-inspired lobby and drop-off zone for a seamless arrival experience. The tower also incorporates over 4,500 square metres of landscaped areas and wellness zones, encouraging collaboration and community.

These features reflect BEYOND’s philosophy of integrating biophilic design principles, where nature, productivity, and wellbeing coexist in balance.

Completion and Vision

With completion scheduled for Q1 2029, 31 Above is envisioned as a modern business ecosystem designed for regional headquarters, creative agencies, innovation-led firms, and international entrepreneurs. The tower’s design encourages meaningful connections and a holistic work-life balance within Dubai’s growing commercial landscape.

Through this landmark development, BEYOND Developments reinforces its mission to create destinations where architecture, wellbeing, and purpose intersect, supporting Dubai’s economic vision and empowering forward-thinking businesses to thrive.
