The Podium structure at Dubai Promenade is a sectionally complicated four storey above-grade structure containing 6,320 parking spaces at its core, retail along it’s sides, and a dune inspired arrival park on its roof. Stretching along the entire Promenade land reclaimed peninsula, the Podium is the foundation that accepts the base and cores of 8 residential towers, an office tower and a boutique hotel.

The main approach to the Podium is provided by a bridge connection at the 15m level, where a central boulevard links the arrival point to all towers. This boulevard bisects a park landscape that forms the 5th elevation of the project. A luxurious three-dimensional carpet of green dunes create a public park setting of lush landscape desert seeps. The seeps penetrate the Podium linking the garden dunes with the parking levels, forming a spectacular landscape using light to penetrate into an otherwise dark space.
