Rising 15 storeys, The Gate is the architectural signature building of the 110-acre DIFC. Designed by the US architects Gensler, this iconic building houses the executive offices of the DIFC Authority, the DFSA, and leading international financial institutions.

The DIFC District, of which The Gate represents the first phase of development, will be a unique integration of buildings, which in combination will offer everything expected of a world-class cosmopolitan city – including offices, serviced apartments, hotels, shops and restaurants.

Within this self-contained location will be a city that has been planned and designed to become the ultimate in convenience for anyone seeking to live, work and enjoy their leisure time in one strategic location. The inclusion of a museum, an art gallery and a performing arts centre will add to the Centre’s attraction as a resort destination. People will be able to walk from one part of the city complex to another in a temperature-controlled environment, and on the outer perimeter there will be an automated transit system circumnavigating the entire district.

The DIFC District will comprise several million square feet of ultra-modern office space, and is designed to meet and exceed the most exacting demands of the world’s most sophisticated financial institutions (and the professionals who work for them), regardless of the scale and scope of their needs.
