Emaar to Name the World’s Tallest Metro Station on Dubai’s Blue Line 

In a city known for architectural marvels and record-breaking achievements, Emaar marks another historic milestone. In a landmark partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Emaar has secured the naming rights for the world’s tallest metro station—set to rise within Dubai Creek Harbour along the upcoming Dubai Metro Blue Line. 

Soaring to an extraordinary height of 74 metres, the Emaar Properties Station will serve as both a gateway to Dubai Creek Harbour and a global benchmark in transit design. 

More than a transport hub, this new landmark will anchor one of Emaar’s most visionary masterplans to date, reshaping the skyline and redefining the future of mobility. It’s not just about infrastructure—it’s about shaping cities, building communities, and setting new standards for how we move through urban life. 

Architectural Excellence Meets Smart Transit

The station’s striking architectural design—conceived by the globally acclaimed firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the visionaries behind the Burj Khalifa—echoes the grand verticality and elegance of Emaar’s most iconic developments. Inspired by the concept of a “crossing gateway,” the station will feature bold, sculptural lines and expansive interiors, brought to life through a refined material palette of Jura limestone, bronze-toned metal panels, and granite flooring. 

Designed to evoke both warmth and permanence, the interiors will be flooded with natural light via overhead glass panels, creating an uplifting, spacious environment at both the lobby and platform levels. The result is a premium transit experience that fuses functionality with timeless architectural elegance within Dubai Metro Station. 

Connecting Dubai's Next Frontier

Dubai is built on bold aspirations—home to world-renowned landmarks like the Burj Khalifa and an ever-evolving skyline of architectural feats. Now, it sets another global benchmark with the world’s tallest metro station.  

This transformative infrastructure project will span 30 kilometres, seamlessly connecting five major districts across the city. Set for completion in 2029, the new line will redefine urban mobility while reinforcing Dubai’s status as a global leader in innovation. 

Covering approximately 11,000 square metres, the Emaar-named station is engineered to accommodate up to 160,000 passengers daily, with projected usage surpassing 70,000 commuters per day by 2040. Strategically located at the heart of Dubai Creek Harbour, the station will serve as a central hub within the Blue Line network—linking key residential and commercial zones including Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City, and Dubai International City. 

This milestone underscores Emaar’s continued commitment to Dubai’s urban evolution, not just through iconic real estate, but through investments in infrastructure that enable smarter, more connected living. The exclusive naming rights for Emaar Properties Station spans a period of ten years, commencing from the station’s official launch in 2029, with announcements for additional Blue Line station partnerships expected in due course. 

Elevating Life at Dubai Creek Harbour

The unveiling of the Emaar Blue Line Metro Station will bring transformative value to residents, investors, and future homeowners. As one of Emaar’s most visionary masterplans, Dubai Creek Harbour already boasts a prime waterfront location and world-class amenities. The addition of a dedicated metro station will enhance connectivity to key hubs such as Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Dubai International Airport—making every day commuting faster and more efficient. 

With direct links to the Red and Green Metro Lines, the Blue Line is set to improve accessibility, increase walkability, and encourage greater use of public transit across the community. This infrastructure upgrade is also expected to positively influence property values, stimulating demand from both local buyers and international investors.  

As a result, Dubai Creek Harbour is not only becoming more connected, but also more attractive as a high-growth destination in Dubai’s dynamic real estate landscape. 

The Impact on Property Investment

For those tracking Dubai infrastructure and market trends, this move is expected to positively impact Dubai Creek Harbour property prices. Improved public transport is a key driver of real estate appreciation, and with the Blue Line positioned to increase footfall and accessibility, demand is set to rise. The impact of the Blue Line metro on Dubai Creek Harbour property prices is already a topic of conversation among investors, with many expecting an uplift in both capital value and rental yields in the coming years. 

Why This Naming Rights Matters

The naming rights to this station go far beyond branding. They represent a strategic alignment between Emaar’s vision for placemaking and Dubai RTA’s future-focused infrastructure roadmap. It’s a move that reflects both confidence in the city’s growth and a commitment to actively shaping its journey.  

From Downtown Dubai to Emaar Beachfront, Emaar has continuously delivered destinations that resonate with global citizens. Now, by integrating with the metro network, Emaar is extending its influence from luxury real estate into the very movement of the city itself. This bold step reinforces the company’s dedication to delivering value across every aspect of urban life—from design and lifestyle to transport and connectivity. 

A Growing Legacy

Emaar Properties has long been at the forefront of Dubai’s transformation—from iconic landmarks like the Burj Khalifa to vibrant, world-class communities such as Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai. Securing the naming rights for the world’s tallest metro station represents more than just a symbolic achievement; it reflects Emaar’s commitment to shaping the future of urban living. As Dubai evolves into a global hub of innovation and connectivity, Emaar is not only crafting spaces to live and work but also creating the essential infrastructure that will drive the city’s growth and foster vibrant communities for generations to come.
