DG1Architecture shaped around the Dubai Canal
A sculptural residential tower by DarGlobal, designed by Gensler and positioned directly beside the Dubai Canal in Business Bay. DG1 brings together waterfront views, private balconies, contemporary European specifications and direct access to one of central Dubai's most established business and residential districts.

The Project
A residential landmark conceived as a sculpture for Dubai
DG1 is not designed as a conventional glass tower. Its form rises through a sequence of staggered volumes, rounded balconies and shifting horizontal lines that give the building a different profile from each approach.
The tower occupies a direct Dubai Canal position in Business Bay, placing residents between the waterfront, Downtown Dubai and the wider commercial core of the city.
Inside, residences follow a restrained contemporary language built around natural light, floor-to-ceiling glazing, private outdoor space and European-influenced specifications.
DG1 is defined as much by the space around it as by the tower itself: the canal, the skyline and the changing light become part of the residence.

Business Bay
Central Dubai, directly on the canal
DG1 is positioned in Business Bay, one of Dubai's principal mixed-use districts and a natural extension of Downtown Dubai.
Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Dubai Opera are within the immediate urban sphere, while Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road connect Business Bay to the wider emirate.
Buyers assessing the district within the wider market can read our guide to investing in Dubai real estate.

Designed by Gensler
A tower with movement built into its façade
Gensler's design gives DG1 a fluid identity. The building rises through sculpted, asymmetrical volumes rather than repeating one uniform floor plate from base to crown.
Rounded balcony edges soften the tower's mass, while horizontal bands trace each level and reinforce its sense of movement.
Architecture that changes with perspective
DG1 presents a different composition from the canal, the road and the surrounding skyline.
Inside DG1
Contemporary residences shaped by light and views
DG1 includes studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom residences. The interiors use a calm, contemporary palette to keep attention on the natural light, private balconies and changing views beyond the glazing.
European-influenced specifications
The residences are designed around practical modern living rather than decorative excess.
- Studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, subject to availability.
- Private balconies connected to the main living areas.
- Floor-to-ceiling windows designed to maximise daylight and views.
- Contemporary kitchens with integrated fittings and refined finishes.
- European-influenced material and interior specifications.
- Selected views towards the Dubai Canal, Business Bay and Downtown Dubai.
