Rolex Tower, High-rise building on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Rolex Tower is a high-rise building on Sheikh Zayed Road rising 235 meters across 59 floors with a distinctive glass facade. The structure houses offices, residential apartments, penthouses with private pools, and retail spaces across its expansive footprint.
The tower was completed in 2010 by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Its completion marked a key moment in the rapid expansion of Sheikh Zayed Road as Dubai's premier business district.
The tower entrance displays a suspended steel sculpture by artist James Clar, reflecting Dubai's commitment to integrating art into architectural spaces.
The building sits directly on Sheikh Zayed Road and provides ample parking in underground garages for easy vehicle access. Ground-level public spaces are generally accessible and feature contemporary facilities for visitor comfort.
The facade employs specialized green glass panels with an integrated lighting system that creates colored displays across the building at night. This lighting design transforms the tower's appearance throughout the day and creates different visual effects for each viewing time.
