Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
22-storey mixed-use complex in Business Bay, completed in 2017. Developer — Omniyat Properties. Architect — Zaha Hadid Architects.
Specifications for The Opus per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
The Opus is a 22-storey mixed-use complex in Business Bay, completed in 2017.
The developer is Omniyat Properties. The architecture is by Zaha Hadid Architects.
The database currently holds 4 lots in this project, from 3,300,000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 10%.
The only Zaha Hadid building in Dubai: residences, offices, a hotel and restaurants in a single volume with a "void" at its centre.
The Opus by OMNIYAT was designed by Zaha Hadid — per the developer's Russian-language brochure, it's a mixed-use building: residences, office space, a hotel, boutiques and restaurants in a single volume, in the same design lineage as Hadid's other landmark cultural buildings worldwide, from Baku's Heydar Aliyev Center to Guangzhou's Opera House — an architectural statement first, a real-estate product second.
The location is between Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, in Business Bay. Next door, in the same OMNIYAT cluster, stands The Binary — two connected towers of 21 and 24 storeys; that's a separate project, not part of Opus.
As the story of the design goes, Zaha Hadid started from the image of a melting ice cube — hence the cube with a void carved out of it. The building was completed after the architect's death in 2016.
The Opus features in ArchDaily's selections of Dubai's most notable buildings — for a signature building, that is part of its resale value.

Yes, the building was handed over in 2017. This is ready housing: you can move in or let it out right after the deal.
Business Bay. The canal district next to Downtown: conceived as offices, built mostly as apartments, now one of the most tenanted parts of the city.
The database currently holds 4 lots in this project, from 3,300,000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 10%. The list changes daily — I will send a fresh selection for the building on request.
Shops, Restaurants, Park and landscaping. The list comes from the project description and covers the whole complex.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Business Bay
SOM designed Burj Khalifa and a 74-metre metro station in Creek Harbour that will be the tallest in the world. Zaha Hadid Architects built The Opus and is now building Oystra in Ras Al Khaimah. What separates a real premium from a marketing line.
A cube with a living form carved out of its centre — Zaha Hadid’s last Dubai project, where her practice designed both the exterior and the interiors of the ME Dubai hotel. How an architectural statement works on the value of the district around it.
Business Bay recorded 14 prime transactions in August 2026 against Palm Jumeirah's 10 — while Dubai-wide transaction volume fell 37% year-on-year and value fell 44%. Rental search demand rose 44% over the same period. What these seemingly contradictory numbers actually mean.
Corinthia Dubai, twin towers above 500 m on Sheikh Zayed Road with a rooftop pool and a Corinthia hotel, is due by 2030. Al Habtoor Group has announced an AED 5bn ($1.36bn) office tower in Al Habtoor City. What the two projects say about the market and who should care.
Omniyat bought a reclaimed island in Marasi Bay to build the Burj Khalifa district's only urban beach club and Sunset Park, a private floating island for VELA Viento residents. In March 2026 it priced a $600m sukuk at 7.25% and said its $11.7bn launched portfolio is fully funded to completion.
Deyaar is building DWTN (Downtown) Residences in Business Bay: twin 445 m, 111-storey towers with 522 homes — 432 apartments, 76 duplexes, 13 penthouses and a “Royal Palace”. From AED 1.86m with half due at keys. Construction began in January 2026; completion is quoted for 2029–2030.
In October 2024 Binghatti said it would lift its portfolio from about AED 40bn to AED 100bn ($27.2bn) in 18 months. In 2025 revenue reached AED 12.43bn, more than 17,000 units were sold, and the AED 30bn Binghatti City launched in Nad Al Sheba. What the growth means for buyers.
Downtown is Dubai's tourist and status core, around AED 2,433/sqft on our own data. Business Bay is the business district next door, home to 17,000+ companies, around AED 1,871/sqft. We compare lifestyle, rental economics and who should pick which.
Three major office schemes are rising around DIFC and Business Bay: Immersive Tower ($300m, 58,573 sq m, 2027), Aldar's 88,000 sq m tower by Emirates Towers metro (Q4 2027), and an office park with a theatre on Business Bay's largest plot. Vacancy in central clusters sits at 2–5%.
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
