A total of 87 towers stand tall in this prestigious project that will become of the Dubai's most recognized addresses, where property investors have been given the opportunity to own and develop towers on a freehold basis.

79 towers are clustered in groups of three and will be surrounded by four calming lakes, beautifully landscaped gardens and unique waterways.

Jumeirah Lake Towers has been planned as a community where people can live and work with equal comfort and tranquility. The waterfront promenade will allow for outdoors cafe's and restaurant, for use by day and night. Community retail, in attached and detached format, will allow for all the basics to be available at close quarters.

Squares and garden between the clusters create connectivity between the larger districts of the community. People living and working within Jumeirah Lake Towers will have a wide range of facilities within reach with quiet community areas with benches, cafe terraces and shaded walkways.

Additional features include pavements fountains, lake fountains, gardens adjacent to avenues, groves of trees, desert gardens and bespoke sculptural features lending to both small scale internal interest as well as contributing to expansive views.

Day care centers and children's play areas have been visualized as part of the community. Children will be allowed to use electronic remote control boats in controlled areas of the lake along with enjoying activities such as cycling, walking and even roller-skating.

In addition to the community facilities, each tower shall cater to the needs of its tenants with facilities such as gymnasiums, saunas, swimming pools, conference centres, high speed elevators, state of the art security systems.
