MJL Lamaa

Lamaa is a residential building by Meraas, positioned within the Madinat Jumeirah Living (MJL) community on the Jumeirah coastline, and is scheduled to reach completion in Q4 2025.

# The building and its place within Madinat Jumeirah Living

MJL is one of the more considered masterplan developments Meraas has delivered in Dubai. Rather than chasing height or spectacle, the community is built around low-rise and mid-rise residential clusters, landscaped open space, and pedestrian-friendly streets that draw a clear contrast with the denser districts further east. Lamaa sits adjacent to the community's central park, which places it at the quieter, greener core of the neighbourhood rather than its periphery.

At 84 per cent complete as of the latest reported progress, the building is firmly in its finishing stage. Handover is due in the fourth quarter of 2025.

# Residences, layouts and specification

Lamaa offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments. Kitchens are fitted and equipped. Beyond those confirmed details, the developer has not published granular size or specification data in the public record, so buyers looking for precise square footage or finish schedules should request the current information pack directly from a registered broker.

Unfurnished units give buyers flexibility over interior direction, which tends to suit buyers purchasing as a primary residence or those with established preferences around furniture and fit-out.

# Amenities within the development

The building includes fitness centres, a swimming pool, children's play areas and a retail centre. The amenity offering is functional and family-oriented rather than resort-heavy. For buyers with children, the proximity of these facilities within the building removes the need to travel for day-to-day recreational use.

Service charges are set at AED 20 per square foot, a figure prospective buyers should factor into yield and holding-cost calculations.

# Connections: Jumeirah, the airport and the wider city

The MJL address places residents within a short drive of several anchors. Souk Madinat Jumeirah is seven minutes away, as is Ocean Beach. Raffles International School is four minutes by car, at 1.5 kilometres, which matters for families making schooling a primary criterion. Downtown Dubai is 17 minutes and approximately 16 kilometres to the east. Dubai International Airport sits 26 kilometres away and is reachable in around 23 minutes under normal traffic conditions.

Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina are all within the broader Jumeirah corridor, making MJL a practical base for professionals working across those districts.

# Who Lamaa suits, and where it sits in the current market

Lamaa is currently out of stock through primary channels, meaning resale and assignment opportunities are the route to entry for buyers interested in the project. At 84 per cent construction progress, the completion risk is minimal, which makes late-stage assignments a more straightforward proposition than early off-plan commitments.

The combination of a Meraas address, a low-rise community context and proximity to both international schools and the Jumeirah coastline positions Lamaa toward owner-occupiers: families relocating to Dubai who want residential calm without sacrificing city access. Investors seeking short-term rental yield may find the community's character better suited to long-term tenancies than the turnover model common in Marina or Downtown.
