Dubai is ready to claim another world record, this time in its public transport network. The city will soon be home to the world’s highest metro station, which will stand at an impressive 74 meters, which will be as part of the new unveiling Dubai Metro Blue Line. The foundation stone for this ambitious infrastructure project was recently laid by his His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktum, the vice -president and the Prime Minister of the ruler of Dubai and him. During the ceremony, Sheikh Mohammed also approved the architectural design of the flagship Emar Properties Station, which will be the longest metro station in the world. Designed by globally acclaimed American architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merryl (SOM), which includes the Burj Khalifa in the portfolio, Sierrs Tower in Chicago and the iconic tower in New York, the station is a modern entrance for the future. Its striking architecture is inspired by the concept of a “crossing gateway”, which is originally aligned with the urban identity and the forward vision of Dubai.

Design, scale and stability

Spread over an area of ​​about 11,000 square meters, the EMAAR property station is not only about height. It is an engineer to accommodate 160,000 passengers per day, with estimates that more than 70,000 daily users will start through the station by 2040. The internal design reflects a fusion of luxury, tradition and innovation. Hot, soil textures are found from high -end materials such as jura limestone, bronze metal wall panel and granite floor. Glass sealing panels at the lobby and platform levels invite natural lighting, leading to an open and inclusive environment.
