Berkeley Tower will dedicate five floors to amenities, including business lounges, meeting rooms, fitness and wellness facilities, outdoor terraces, event spaces, social areas, a clubhouse and interactive gaming zones. The development aims to extend the conventional office environment by integrating professional, recreational and wellness facilities within one location.

Situated in Business Bay, the project offers connectivity to Downtown Dubai, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and major transport networks. The location places the tower within one of Dubai’s established commercial districts, which accommodates businesses across multiple sectors.

Joseph Thomas, co-founder of Ellington Properties, says Berkeley Tower represents a significant step in the company’s commercial portfolio expansion. He highlights the importance of creating workplaces that respond to the needs of businesses and employees by integrating office accommodation with facilities that enhance the overall workplace experience.

Benoy J. Kurien, group chief executive officer of Al Hamra, says Dubai’s position as an international business centre supports demand for high-quality commercial developments in well-connected locations. He adds that the partnership combines the strengths of both companies to contribute to Business Bay’s growth and create long-term value for businesses, investors and the wider community.
