The Lana, Business Bay: What AED 85 Million Buys You Here
The Lana is a residential tower by Omniyat Group in Business Bay, Dubai. The building offers apartments, duplexes, and penthouses across a range of large configurations. At a listed price of AED 85 million, this is a single-price building: minimum and maximum are identical. Buyers are not choosing across a price range. They are choosing between unit types and sizes at one fixed number, and that number places the project at the upper tier of what Business Bay's residential market offers.
Business Bay: Central, Connected, and Canal-Adjacent
Business Bay sits directly south of Downtown Dubai, separated from it by the Dubai Canal. The Burj Khalifa district is within 10 minutes by car, or walkable via the canal bridge. DIFC and the wider financial district are roughly the same distance in the other direction. Sheikh Zayed Road runs along the western boundary, connecting residents to the entire length of the city in either direction.
The Dubai Canal cuts through this part of Business Bay. The canal promenade runs at water level, offering a pedestrian walkway at the district's edge. For a tower in this location, the canal is a practical part of the address. Residents have direct waterfront access without leaving the district.
AED 85 Million: One Price Point
The listed price is AED 85,000,000, with minimum and maximum price identical. This building does not have an entry tier and a premium tier. Everyone comes in at the same number.
The unit range spans a 2-bedroom apartment at 3,900 sq ft at the small end to a 5-bedroom penthouse at 17,700 sq ft at the top. That 2-bedroom is large for any standard. At this price and size, it suits a buyer who wants fewer bedrooms but expects generous living space across fewer rooms, not a compact footprint. The 4-bedroom configurations across apartments, duplexes, and penthouses represent the bulk of the offer.
The Units
| Type | Bedrooms | Size (sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment | 2 | 3,900 |
| Apartment | 3 | 4,000 / 4,900 / 6,500 |
| Apartment | 4 | 6,200 / 7,700 / 7,800 / 10,000 |
| Duplex | 4 | 6,200 / 7,900 |
| Penthouse | 4 | 9,400 |
| Penthouse | 5 | 17,700 |
The 4-bedroom apartments span from 6,200 to 10,000 sq ft. That 3,800 sq ft spread suggests materially different floor plans across the four layout types, not just size variations of the same plan. The duplexes, at 6,200 and 7,900 sq ft, offer the same four-bedroom count in a vertical split across two floors. The 5-bedroom penthouse at 17,700 sq ft is in its own category within the building.
Amenities: Wellness and a Family Signal
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium, Yoga room, Shared Spa |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Shared Pool |
| Family | Children Nursery |
| Building Services | Security |
The wellness cluster covers three linked facilities: a full gymnasium, a yoga room, and a shared spa. Together they form a self-contained fitness and recovery offering within the building. The Children Nursery is the item that stands apart in this list. It signals a building positioned for families using this as a primary residence, with children attending care within the building itself. The landscaped gardens and shared pool add outdoor and communal space at the building level.
Construction: Past the Build Phase
Construction started in January 2021. The expected completion was December 2023. That date has passed. Buyers entering now are not taking on construction risk. The building is through its build cycle, which positions this as a completed asset purchase rather than an off-plan commitment.
Getting In at 10%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 56% |
| Handover | 34% |
The down payment on The Lana was set at 10%, which on AED 85 million is AED 8.5 million to initiate. The bulk of the payment, 56%, was structured to fall during construction. The final 34% falls at handover. Given the project has passed its expected completion date, buyers engaging now are working with the building's payment history behind them, not a forward construction schedule.
