BEYOND Developments Launches “31 Above” — A Landmark Commercial Tower in Dubai Maritime City
Dubai-based real estate developer BEYOND Developments has unveiled “31 Above”, its first commercial tower and the first of its kind in Dubai Maritime City. The project introduces a next-generation workspace experience, combining architectural innovation with the city’s business-forward vision. Offering panoramic views of the Dubai skyline and Arabian Gulf, the tower marks BEYOND’s strategic expansion into the commercial sector, establishing a state-of-the-art hub for global enterprises and entrepreneurs.
Dubai’s thriving economy, supported by the DIFC and the Downtown Dubai business ecosystem, continues to attract ambitious industries. 31 Above responds to the evolving expectations of modern workplaces—prioritizing collaboration, accessibility, and well-being. The design features interlocking volumes, fluid geometries, terraces, and well-lit workspaces that merge practicality with artistry, defining a new standard for commercial architecture in the UAE.
Intersection of Commerce and Innovation
Adil Taqi, CEO of BEYOND Developments, emphasized that “31 Above” reflects Dubai’s transformation into a global capital for business growth under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. Strategically located within Dubai Maritime City, the tower provides direct connectivity to global trade routes, financial districts, and Mina Rashid, while being minutes away from Dubai International Airport. The project’s positioning at the crossroads of commerce and innovation aims to enhance productivity and business synergy.
Architecturally, the tower’s stacked and offset structure allows natural light, greenery, and openness at every level. The design, inspired by contemporary Art Deco elements, combines bold geometric lines with refined craftsmanship to create a dynamic landmark that symbolizes progress and balance. Landscaped terraces, vertical gardens, and open-air zones offer an immersive blend of work and relaxation.
Modern Design Meets Human-Centric Functionality
The tower is engineered for performance and experience, incorporating dual-core layouts, destination-controlled high-speed elevators, and hospitality-inspired lobbies. Over 4,500 square meters of landscaped areas feature wellness zones, breakout spaces, and biophilic design elements that promote mental clarity and physical well-being. This design approach aligns with Dubai’s growing focus on sustainable, human-centered architecture.
Inside, “31 Above” merges natural materials, soft lighting, and spacious interiors to create a calm, productive environment. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames expansive views of the sea and city, while curated interiors balance aesthetics with acoustics and comfort. Every element, from the drop-off zones to collaborative lounges, is designed to enhance the user experience.
Completion Timeline and Vision
Set for completion in Q1 2029, 31 Above is envisioned as a cornerstone for innovation-driven enterprises, regional headquarters, and creative firms. It redefines commercial development by integrating productivity, wellness, and sustainability into a single vertical community. Through this project, BEYOND reinforces its mission of designing meaningful destinations that harmonize architecture, well-being, and purpose—supporting Dubai’s long-term economic and urban growth vision.
