Jumeirah Lake Towers

jumeirah_lake_towers_dubai.jpgThe Jumeirah Lake Towers ((Arabic: ابراج بحيرة الجميرا‎) is a huge development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates which consists of a 79 towers being constructed along the edges of four artificial lakes (Lake Almas West, Lake Almas East, Lake Elucio, and Lake Allure) as well as the JLT Embankment of 8 tower facing Jumeirah Islands. The lakes (which are about 3 metres deep) will be completely filled by end of 2009. The total area covered by the lakes, waterways and landscaping will be 730,000 square metres.

The towers will range from having 35 floors to having 45 except for the centerpiece which is 66 floors. The tallest tower and the centerpiece of the entire complex is Almas Tower which will be situated on its own island between Lake Almas West and Lake Almas East. All residential towers will be placed in clusters of three. This therefore makes the areas easier to navigate when mail is distributed.

 

The completion of Saba Tower in December 2006 marked the first tower to be completed in Jumeirah Lake Towers. The final tower is expected to be completed in 2011. The majority of construction will take place in 2008.  By October 2008 a total of 19 towers are ready to be occupied and another 6 are expected by the end of 2008.

 

The project is estimated to have a resident population of around 60,000 and a working population of another 120,000; it will include 5 children playgrounds, 3 mosques, a police station, a civil defense station and other facilities.

 

There will be two stops for the Dubai Light Rail project along the site and a shuttle bus from the clusters to the Light Rail stops is planned.
