Bureau Lamar
Jun'ya Ishigami's office cluster on the Dubai Water Canal.
Bureau Lamar puts seven Grade A office towers, a five-star hotel and a cultural district on one waterfront peninsula in Business Bay — designed by an architect, not just an in-house team.
Designed by Jun'ya Ishigami
The architectural competition, which also shortlisted Herzog & de Meuron, Barozzi Veiga, Valerio Olgiati and Studio KO, concluded with Ishigami selected as architect.
Full-Floor Offices, Certified Spec
Each 10,000-12,000 sq ft floor is exclusive to one tenant, with floor-to-ceiling glass over 4 metres. Three separate certification targets — LEED Platinum, WELL and WiredScore — consulted by WSP, a sustainability and connectivity spec well above typical Business Bay office stock.
A Cultural District, Not Just Offices
An art museum, a performance theatre and a library sit alongside 122,000 sq ft of retail and dining.
Seven Towers on a Canal Peninsula
19, 17, 19, 18, 16, 16 and 16 floors across seven clustered towers, on a single 30,961 m² land plot — sitting directly on the Dubai Water Canal, one of Business Bay's few true waterfront office addresses.
A 60/40 plan — 60% during construction, 40% on completion.
Lamar Development's own site states a 60/40 structure: 60% paid during construction, 40% on completion in Q4 2030. A separate broker source quotes a different 10/50/40 breakdown — this page follows the developer's own published figure, as the nearer, more authoritative source. Confirm the exact instalment schedule at booking.
Why Bureau Lamar is a Smart Lamar Development Investment
For Growth
An architect-led, LEED Platinum-targeting office development on a genuine waterfront peninsula in Business Bay — a differentiated spec against typical strata-office stock in the district.
For the Long Hold
DLD registration is active (99 units registered from 1 May 2026), though construction is still at 0% as of this page's last check. The honest caveat: no official per-square-foot sale price is published — the AED 4,200/ft² figure circulating is broker-sourced, not developer-confirmed — and no per-floor price tiers or floor-plan drawings are available yet.
