Urban Living Around Lakes and Parks

The Address: Dynamic. Accessible. Community-Driven.

Jumeirah Lake Towers, widely known as JLT, is one of Dubai’s most dynamic and diverse mixed-use communities. Master-developed by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), JLT is structured around three artificial lakes and a large central park, offering a blend of residential, commercial, and leisure living in a highly walkable, vibrant urban setting. It has become a favorite among young professionals, families, entrepreneurs, and investors alike, known for its strategic location, affordability, and thriving F&B scene.

The Legacy: History & Developer

JLT was launched in 2002 by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), the government entity responsible for creating one of the fastest-growing free zones in the UAE. The community features over 80 towers grouped into 26 distinct clusters (A to Z). Its development included replacing one of the original four lakes with the 55,000 sqm JLT Park, creating essential green space and enhancing its family-friendly appeal.

-Master Developer: Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC).
-Core Feature: 87 high-rise towers across 26 clusters, surrounding three man-made lakes and a large central park.
-Business Hub: Home to the DMCC Free Zone, one of the largest and most active business hubs in the region.

Residences & Lifestyle

JLT offers a true 'vertical neighborhood' concept, where residents live, work, and socialize within a tight-knit cluster system. The lifestyle is highly active, social, and defined by convenience and walkability.
