City of Lights, Al Reem Island

The City of Lights, a dazzling waterfront enclave nestled in the heart of Al Reem Island, spans an impressive 566,560 square meters. This community is a dynamic mix of 60 towers, which includes 52 residential and 8 commercial structures, collaboratively developed by Al Reem, Sorouh, and Tamouh Investments. Designed to support a population of around 80,000 people, the development offers a range of facilities including upscale office buildings, residential towers, commercial spaces, hotels, serviced suites, and marina amenities. Adding to the allure are parks and a beautifully designed waterfront promenade that invites leisurely strolls.

Architecturally striking, each tower within the City of Lights makes a bold statement, enhancing the visual appeal of the area. These structures are thoughtfully positioned along the waterfront, creating a scenic pedestrian paradise interconnected through landscaped plazas. DG Jones and Partners played a pivotal role in consulting for the construction of five mixed-use towers within this complex. The project includes two residential towers, C2 and C3, standing 29 and 25 stories high respectively, atop a shared six-story podium. Additionally, a combination of residential and office towers—C10 and C11 (each 28 floors) and C10a (36 floors)—are built over an eight-story podium, demonstrating a harmonious blend of live and work spaces. This architectural and community planning exemplifies modern urban development, making the City of Lights a beacon of contemporary living and professional dynamics.
