Downtown Burj Khalifa
SWA provided landscape architectural services for
downtown Burj Khalifa, an area surrounding the Burj
Khalifa Tower, the tallest man-made structure in the
world. The area includes Burj Khalifa Tower Park and
Emaar Boulevard, a 3.5-km-long boulevard lined with
luxury shops and cafes. The landscape design of this
mixed-use tower includes three areas that correspond
to the tower’s hotel, residential, and office spaces.
A landscaped drop-off area is designed for each of
the three sections of the building. Gardens and a grand
water terrace with a lake and additional water features
are designed to draw people to outside activities and
accompanying retail and restaurant spaces. The design
for this boulevard creates one of the world’s great
streets, including a palm-lined greenway for shade,
dynamic water features, and varied settings for public
gatherings and celebrations.
