Emaar’s Name Rises with the World’s Highest Metro Station

• At 74 metres, Emaar Properties Station on Dubai Metro’s Blue Line marks a new chapter in the city’s transit

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 10 June 2025: Emaar is proud to announce that it has secured the official naming rights for the most iconic station on the upcoming Dubai Metro Blue Line. The “Emaar Properties Station,” set to become the highest metro station in the world, will stand at a remarkable height of 74 metres, symbolising Dubai’s relentless ambition and architectural excellence.

The announcement was made during the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Blue Line, in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The event also saw the approval of the station’s distinctive architectural design, developed by globally renowned architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)—the designers behind celebrated landmarks such as Burj Khalifa.

The Emaar Properties Station will serve as a striking new gateway within Dubai’s expanding mobility network, harmoniously integrating innovation, sustainability, and aesthetic brilliance. Covering approximately 11,000 square metres, the station is designed to accommodate up to 160,000 passengers per day and is expected to handle more than 70,000 daily users by 2040.

Inspired by the concept of a “crossing gateway,” the station’s dynamic form, expansive volumes, and sophisticated material palette—including Jura limestone, bronze metal panels, and granite flooring—will offer a premium transit experience. The interiors are designed to reflect warmth, resilience, and a deep connection to the land, while allowing natural light to flood both lobby and platform levels through glass ceiling panels.

This milestone reflects Emaar’s continued contribution to the city’s infrastructural evolution and its commitment to shaping a more connected, innovative, and sustainable urban future.

The naming rights agreement spans a period of ten years, commencing from the station’s official launch in 2029. Additional naming rights for other Blue Line stations will be announced in due course.

As a pioneer in shaping Dubai’s skyline and community life, Emaar is honoured to be part of this pivotal chapter in the city’s infrastructure journey, reinforcing the company’s long-standing vision to create enduring landmarks that inspire, connect, and elevate everyday experiences.
