The Binary will comprise of dual 21 and 25-storey freehold commercial towers fused at the centre. The towers will offer office spaces, elevated over a four-level podium, which will contain commercial and retail shops. The development includes a variety of zones, including a Tranquillity Zone with an artificial beach with sand, water and waves and beach sounds.

The beach deck, which is an open space on the podium roof, features sun loungers where employees can go for creative inspiration or to relax.

The Tranquillity Zone also includes a section with closed beds for power naps during the day.

Amjad said The Binary will also feature intelligent technology including voice over internet telephony, radio frequency identification and biometric access.
