JLT combines residential towers, commercial premises, hotels, retail and landscaped public spaces. The district is arranged around three artificial lakes and a central park. Its high-density form is organised in blocks and clusters along lakeside promenades. JLT comprises 87 tower blocks across 23 clusters, and the 66-storey Almas Tower is its landmark. The district is also home to the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre free zone.

Lakes, park and public realm

Three artificial lakes and a central park shape JLT’s outdoor network. The lakeside promenades and park include walking, jogging and cycling routes, while the waterfront provides spaces for community activity. District works include lake and lake-wall improvements, water-quality works, landscape enhancements and road connections with Jumeirah Islands. The programme also includes expanded visitor parking. An initial tree-replacement phase removed and replanted 60 palm trees. Recreational-facility upgrades and new sports infrastructure have also been announced for residents, workers and visitors in the district.
