U-Bora’s Residential Tower is the product of intelligent planning, dynamic design and modern technology. Unique in its setting at Business Bay, it’s poised to become a model development for the entire region. In an age of bigger and taller, the U-Bora residences deliberately does not compete with the surrounding towers in height and instead keeps low, to make the most of the natural features of the site. The building itself is designed as a linear bar, rising from 12 storeys at the tower end to 16 storeys at the western end. The intelligence of this design allows a surprising 70% of the units to enjoy a superb view of the water, with smaller units overlooking the large landscaped podium deck.
These are ‘smart buildings’ at their best, as they provide total remote control of countless domestic functions. Curtains can be opened and closed, lights, air conditioning and even kitchen appliances like cookers and microwaves can be switched on and off by the resident, even when they are away from home.
The materials and finishes are universally excellent and the residence offers convienient facilities like 24-hour concierge service and mail handling, private car parking, fitness and beauty centre, a children’s play area and CCTV.
Commercial
Destined to be an icon of 21st century design? The U-Bora Commercial Tower certainly has some features and some adventurous thinking behind them, which will make it a strong candidate for iconic status. Perhaps most fascinating is the way the floors appear to twist and turn progressively and the contours bulge outwards as the tower ascends into the sky. But this is not merely an architectural whim; it has been done deliberately and with extreme precision, so that every floor enjoys the optimal view and the maximum amount of daylight.
The materials and finishes are universally excellent and the offices will offer a high degree of automation. Facilities will include intelligent lighting, a voice/data structured cabling system, TV and video on demand, CCTV, bacnet based integrated building management systems, state of the art air conditioning and ventilation, a total of 26 high speed luxury lifts and unhindered mobile connectivity everywhere, at all times.
Surrounding the tower there are verdant, densely landscaped areas, piazzas, walkways, fountains and water features - not to mention a massive array of shopping, dining and recreation choices - which will make working at the U-Bora Commercial Tower an exciting, enriching life experience.
