Only 8 offices per floor
Every floor plate is divided into just eight units, so each office holds its own lift-lobby frontage, its own outlook and a level of privacy that open-plan strata towers cannot offer.
New launch · EOI open
Fifty floors of freehold offices in the heart of Al Habtoor City, Dubai — eight private units per level, plates from 1,884 sq ft, and a 289-metre address on Sheikh Zayed Road. From AED 9.3M on a 60/40 plan.
The project
1970 Al Habtoor is a purpose-built commercial tower rising from the podium of Al Habtoor City on Sheikh Zayed Road. Rather than one uninterrupted shaft of glass, the building is composed as a series of stacked volumes — each separated by recessed, landscaped sky gardens that give the tower its rhythm and its occupants their light.
Above a seven-level podium sit fifty office floors, each divided into just eight units. That restraint is the point: the 1970 office tower is designed for companies that want a floor-plate address in Dubai without sharing a lift lobby with forty other tenants.
Architecture
ZARO Architects divided the mass of the 1970 office tower into vertically stacked zones. Lighter intermediate floors and recessed sky gardens mark where one volume ends and the next begins — a visual rhythm from the street, and a working environmental strategy inside.

The offices
Every typical level at the 1970 office tower is cut into eight offices between 1,884 and 2,393 sq ft. Each one fronts the lift lobby directly, each holds its own run of glazing, and each is sized for a business that has outgrown a serviced suite but does not need a whole floor.
Every floor plate is divided into just eight units, so each office holds its own lift-lobby frontage, its own outlook and a level of privacy that open-plan strata towers cannot offer.
Right-sized for headquarters of 12 to 30 people. Regular geometry, minimal internal columns and a service core positioned to leave the perimeter free for workstations.
Recessed landscaped terraces separate the tower into stacked volumes — they read as architecture from the street and work as natural breathers for the building.
Fifty office floors above a seven-level podium, rising to 289 metres with 80,000 sq m of sellable area — one of the tallest dedicated office addresses on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Three luxury hotels, the Dubai Water Canal, La Perle theatre and Al Habtoor Palace sit at the door. Business Bay, DIFC and Downtown are all inside a ten-minute drive.
A 60/40 payment plan through to a Q1 2029 handover, with a fully refundable AED 100,000 EOI securing unit priority at launch pricing.

Pricing & payment
Sixty per cent across construction, forty per cent on handover in Q1 2029. Launch pricing is held for buyers who register an Expression of Interest before the public release.
Dubai’s prime office market has been running at historically low vacancy, with Grade A stock along Sheikh Zayed Road and in Business Bay absorbed faster than it is delivered. Very little of the new supply is strata-titled — which means occupiers who want to own rather than lease have a short list.
1970 Dubai answers that directly: freehold offices, eight to a floor, inside a mixed-use district that already works. Buyers get a completed neighbourhood from day one — hotels, restaurants, theatre and the Water Canal promenade — rather than a plot waiting on its surroundings.
The eight-unit floor plate is also the investment case. Smaller, well-proportioned plates in a landmark tower let a single owner occupy, or split and lease, without the capital commitment of a full floor — and they are the sizes that transact most readily on resale.
Location
The 1970 office tower sits inside Al Habtoor City — a completed mixed-use district on Sheikh Zayed Road, wrapped by the Dubai Water Canal. Three luxury hotels, La Perle theatre and the canal promenade are already at the door, and the whole of Dubai’s business core is inside a ten-minute drive.
