Who is Christian A. Rockefeller?
Christian Aldrich Rockefeller (born 1991) is a sixth-generation member of the Rockefeller family, the son of Steven Clark Rockefeller Jr. and a Boston College economics graduate. In 2020 the family's real estate platform, SixRock Group, partnered with Miami-based Brands Lab International to license the Rockefeller name to high-end branded developments worldwide.
The first announced project was a luxury community of villas, a five-star boutique hotel and an 18-hole golf course designed by Henrik Stenson Golf Design. It sits on roughly 200 hectares in San Roque, near Sotogrande, on Spain's Costa del Sol. The deal was signed in December 2021 with ICICB Developments, a Dubai-based company. The Business Bay tower is the first time the name has appeared on a Dubai project register.
Not to be confused with
- Rockefeller Group, the New York developer owned by Mitsubishi Estate (Rose Hill in NoMad, Alina in Atlanta), which is unrelated.
- Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.
- Venues such as the “Rockefeller” event room at The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm.
As of 16 October 2026, neither LMD nor the Rockefeller team had published the terms of a brand agreement for the Dubai tower, such as whether it is a name licence or includes operating standards. Ask for this in writing before you buy, because brand terms affect resale premiums.
About the developer: LMD (Continental Investments)
Profile
- بخشی از LMD (Landmark Sabbour Development), which develops in the UAE, Egypt, Spain and Greece. Its Egyptian projects include One Ninety in New Cairo, home of the W Cairo hotel and residences.
- Active in Dubai since 2011 through Continental Investments LMD L.L.C. (licence 958) and LMD Ventures (licence 2482).

Track record in Dubai
- Delivered: Continental Tower (Dubai Marina), Rukan, Rukan Residence, Rukan 2 and Rukan 3 (Dubailand), and Marina Living (Dubai Marina, 205 apartments, handed over August 2026).
- Selling or building: The Pier Residence (Dubai Maritime City), Taiyo Residences (Wasl Gate), Boutique 23 and La Boutique (Al Jaddaf).
- One data provider counts about 1,258 units delivered across five completed projects and 1,112 under construction. On a small sample of 7 schedule checks, it rates 46% on time within a 90-day grace period.
Christian A. Rockefeller Tower would be LMD's first supertall and its first office tower in Dubai, a step up from its 20–40 storey residential towers. That is not a red flag in itself, but it is worth asking who the main contractor and consultant are once they are appointed.

Why location matters for an office tower
- Access to جاده شیخ زاید و جاده الخیل, Dubai's two main north–south roads.
- Within reach of the Red Line's Business Bay metro station and the Dubai Canal water-taxi stops.
- Close to Downtown and DIFC, where prime office vacancy is lowest. Business Bay is where firms priced out of DIFC tend to move.
- Walkable to hotels, cafes and supermarkets. Bay Avenue serves the daily needs of office tenants.
Dubai office market in 2026: why a new Grade-A tower is being launched now
Dubai has had a shortage of Grade-A office space since 2023: companies relocating to the city have absorbed almost all new prime supply. Savills' flat Q2 2026 reading suggests rent growth is levelling off. JLL still shows vacancy falling. For investors, the main question about an office tower handing over in 2028–2030 is how much competing Grade-A space completes at the same time in Business Bay, Downtown and DIFC. Several office towers are already selling nearby (see the alternatives below).
For comparison, Business Bay residential data from the DLD register shows a median of about AED 2,484 per sq ft (up 1.3% year on year), 7,574 sales in 12 months and a gross apartment yield of about 5.8%. Office yields in Dubai typically run higher than residential, with longer leases and more vacancy risk between tenants.

Who is Christian A. Rockefeller Tower for?
A good match if you…
- Want a long-term commercial asset in Business Bay with a recognisable name attached
- Run a company that will need its own Dubai office around 2029–2030
- Can wait 3–4+ years for completion and accept off-plan risk
- Want to get in at launch price, before the brochure and the market re-price it
Think twice if you…
- Need rental income before 2030: consider ready Business Bay offices instead
- Want a home: no residences have been announced in this tower
- Need firm prices, floor plans and a handover date before committing (not yet published)
- Would pay extra for the brand name without written brand terms
How to buy into a new Dubai launch safely
- Get the DLD project number and check it in the Dubai REST app. The project should show as registered under the developer named on your contract.
- Pay only into the project escrow account, never into a personal or broker account. Dubai law requires off-plan payments to go into a RERA-regulated escrow account.
- Read the SPA for the completion date, the grace period, delay remedies and the exact unit area (net vs gross for offices).
- Register the Oqood (off-plan title) and budget for the 4% DLD transfer fee plus admin fees.
- Ask for the brand terms in writing: who the Rockefeller-side party is, the length of the licence, and what standards it commits the building to.
- Check service charges once RERA approves the budget, because they affect your net office yield.

What is the price of offices in Christian A. Rockefeller Tower?

Register with TruHauz to get the official price list when it is released.
When is the handover of Christian A. Rockefeller Tower?
No official date has been published. Third-party sources disagree. One project list shows Q3 2028, while developer-data sites show June 2030 or November 2030. A tower of 85 or more storeys usually takes four years or more to build. Read 2030 as the more realistic target until LMD confirms a date.

Yes. Register-based data sites show it as a registered project under LMD Ventures Buying and Selling of Real Estate L.L.C., with 338 units and 0% construction completion.

Is the tower connected to the Rockefeller family?
The name refers to Christian A. Rockefeller, a sixth-generation member of the Rockefeller family. Since 2020 he and his father, Steven Rockefeller Jr., have licensed the family name to luxury real estate through SixRock Group and Brands Lab International. Their first project was a residential and golf resort near Sotogrande in southern Spain.
