Overview

Workspaces with a view

The Horizon Hub gives growing firms a Business Bay address without the corporate rigidity: 48 fitted studios from 400 to 2,200 sq ft, arranged around shared lounges, meeting suites, and a rooftop terrace facing the canal.

Verdant Crest led architecture, interior styling, and the leasing programme — taking the building from shell to 96% occupancy in nine months.

Challenge

An empty shell in a crowded market

Business Bay had no shortage of offices — but most were grey, inflexible floors. The Hub needed a reason for boutique firms to choose it over cheaper stock nearby.

Approach

Design as the differentiator

We planned small, characterful studios with double-height lounges, warm timber finishes, and bookable meeting suites — then photographed and leased them like residences, not offices.

Outcome

96% let within nine months

The Hub leased faster than any comparable Business Bay scheme that year, at rents 12% above the street average — and Verdant Crest still manages the building's common areas and tenant churn today.
