Jumeirah Lake Towers was developed by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and established as a mixed-use freehold area. Officially launched in 2002, JLT has grown rapidly into a vibrant community that includes residential towers, commercial spaces, hotels, and retail facilities. The community has become one of Dubai’s most well-connected neighborhoods, offering high-rise living along scenic lakes.

The development features 26 clusters, each consisting of three towers that provide a range of residential apartments, office spaces, and hotel accommodations. These are built around three artificial lakes, creating a waterfront living environment in the heart of the city.

JLT is not just a residential neighborhood—it also includes the thriving DMCC Free Zone, which hosts more than 17,000 businesses. The commercial aspect of the development contributes to its dynamic population and strong infrastructure.

With direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, two metro stations, and close proximity to popular districts like Dubai Marina, The Meadows, and Jumeirah Beach Residence, JLT remains one of the most strategically located communities in Dubai.
