Facts last verified 12 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | district | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Also known as | JLT, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, DMCC | | Coordinates | 25.07, 55.142 | | Developments covered | 1 | ## Overview Jumeirah Lake Towers, almost always shortened to JLT, is a district of about 80 towers arranged in 26 lettered clusters around three man-made lakes and a central park. It sits on the inland side of Sheikh Zayed Road, directly opposite [Dubai Marina](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-marina). The master developer is DMCC, the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, whose free zone is based here and, according to Property Finder, has more than 21,000 registered companies. The first tower completed in December 2006 and most of the district was built by the early 2010s, so JLT is a known quantity. Towers are typically 35 to 45 floors and mix offices, hotels and apartments, often within the same cluster. Two Red Line metro stations, DMCC and Sobha Realty, serve either end. Residents get lakeside walks, a park, dog parks and a wide choice of restaurants. Entry prices are the lowest of the coastal districts we cover: Property Finder's listings on 12 November 2026 showed a median asking price of AED 1.76 million in JLT, against AED 2.65 million in Dubai Maritime City and AED 3.38 million on Dubai Islands on the same day. New development is limited but not absent. DMCC is extending the district northwards with Uptown Dubai, and a few remaining or redeveloped plots have gone to private developers. [Danube](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/danube)'s Diamondz is the largest, a 62-storey tower with 1,219 furnished apartments due in late 2027. [Ellington](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/ellington) is selling Mercer House, and Cluster Z is being rebuilt as a single mixed-use scheme. JLT suits buyers who want an established, rentable address next to the Marina at a mid-market budget. The main judgement is building by building: quality, management and service charges vary a great deal between towers that look similar from the street. ## Who it suits - Buy-to-let investors - First-time buyers in Dubai - Professionals working in DMCC, Media City or Internet City - Buyers wanting metro access ## Highlights - Two Red Line metro stations (DMCC and Sobha Realty) - Established community with lakes, a central park and dog parks - Mid-market entry point: median asking price AED 1.76 million on Property Finder, 12 November 2026 - Large on-site employment base in the DMCC free zone - Freehold for all nationalities ## Considerations - Most towers date from 2006 to 2012 and vary in build quality and upkeep. Tamweel Tower was gutted by fire in 2012 and took until 2016 to repair; check cladding and maintenance records on any resale. - New towers such as Diamondz add more than a thousand small apartments to a district that already has a large rental stock, much of it studios and one-bedrooms. - Many apartments face Sheikh Zayed Road or neighbouring towers rather than the lakes; views and noise differ sharply within one building. - Offices, hotels and apartments share the same clusters. Check parking allocation and weekday access for the specific tower. - Service charges vary by tower and are not always lower than in newer districts. Ask for the last three years of budgets. ## Drive times - Dubai Marina: about 10 minutes - Downtown Dubai: about 20 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 25 minutes ## Developments in Jumeirah Lake Towers - [Diamondz by Danube](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-lake-towers/diamondz-by-danube): Danube Properties; Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2027; from AED 1,100,000 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [Dubai Marina](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-marina) - [Dubai Harbour](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-harbour) - [Palm Jumeirah](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/palm-jumeirah) - [Jumeirah Golf Estates](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-golf-estates) - [Dubai Production City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-production-city) - [Dubai Sports City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-sports-city) - [Jumeirah Village Circle](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-village-circle) ## Questions and answers ### Is JLT freehold? Yes. Jumeirah Lake Towers is a freehold district where buyers of any nationality can own apartments. The master developer and community manager is DMCC. ### Are there new off-plan projects in JLT? A few. The district is largely built, but Danube's Diamondz (1,219 furnished apartments, due November 2027) and Ellington's Mercer House are on sale, Cluster Z is being redeveloped, and DMCC is extending the area with Uptown Dubai. ### Which metro stations serve JLT? Two Red Line stations: DMCC (formerly Jumeirah Lakes Towers station) at the southern end and Sobha Realty (formerly Dubai Marina station) at the northern end. ### How much does new property in Jumeirah Lake Towers cost?
