1970 Office Tower

1970 Office Tower is an announced commercial development in Al Habtoor City, within the Business Bay setting along Sheikh Zayed Road. It extends the destination's established mix of residences, hotels and leisure venues with a dedicated office component. The architectural project is presented by ZARO Architects as Sky Cascades, a composition of stacked volumes designed for a prominent urban site.

The scheme's upper section contains 50 office floors unified by a glazed façade. Rather than reading as a continuous shaft, the building is divided into distinct vertical zones. Recessed landscaped terraces and lighter intermediate levels separate these sections, creating a visible rhythm along the tower. The design gives the office areas a relationship with daylight, outlooks and planted spaces at intervals above the city.

At street level, a seven-level podium anchors the tower and organises its arrival sequence. A substantial lobby, formal drop-off and planned retail or lounge areas provide the transition between the surrounding district and the workplace. Two basement levels are designed to accommodate parking, building services and logistics. The podium and upper office floors therefore serve different practical functions within a single architectural composition.

The setting connects the proposed office address with Al Habtoor City's existing hotels, restaurants and entertainment offer, alongside the Dubai Water Canal. These surrounding uses provide a context for business visits and everyday activity beyond the office floors. The project is in its announced phase, with its identity centred on commercial space, planted terraces and a structured arrival experience.
