About the building

About Gate District

Gate District is the business heart surrounding DIFC’s famous Gate building. It’s made up of several office buildings, with banks, financial companies and law firms based there. The buildings are modern and mostly mid-rise, designed to sit comfortably around the taller Gate structure while keeping the area connected and walkable.

DIFC developed the district, and RMJM was appointed to design its six Gate District buildings, which were completed in 2008. Their clean glass and stone facades give the area a smart, professional feel.

A fun detail: the buildings were planned as a backdrop to The Gate, with their height and proportions chosen to keep the arch as the standout landmark.
