With a built-up area of approximately 54,858 m², Executive Heights II is a 23-storey commercial tower designed by XCASSIA to anchor a strategic cul-de-sac site overlooking a landscaped park within TECOM. The project’s unique trapezoidal footprint inspired an ascending, tapered massing strategy that optimizes both visual orientation and allowable exploitation, culminating in a sail-like architectural crown that integrates key building services and symbolic vertical expression.

The tower’s 20,400 m² of net leasable office space are efficiently organized around a central slip-formed core served by six high-speed lifts, achieving an average floor-plate efficiency of 76% and panoramic open views. Ground-level public and wellness amenities activate the landscaped frontage, complemented by 722 covered parking stalls and lush setbacks that extend the site’s green edge into the public realm.

Conceived as a high-performance, shell-and-core office development, Executive Heights II attains 96% of its allowable GFA (28,604 m²) and was engineered for a fast-track, 18-month construction cycle. The design’s expressive geometry and contextual sensitivity embody XCASSIA’s enduring commitment to creating enduring, efficient, and human-centered commercial architecture in Dubai’s evolving skyline.
