MJL Jomana

Jomana is a residential development by Meraas within Madinat Jumeirah Living, the low-rise, Arabian-inflected district that sits in the shadow of the Burj Al Arab on Dubai's southern Jumeirah shoreline. The project is a single building, due for completion in May 2026, and is currently 83 per cent complete.

# The building and its position within Madinat Jumeirah Living

Madinat Jumeirah Living occupies a stretch of inner Jumeirah that has, over the past decade, become one of the more considered addresses in Dubai. Meraas planned the district around pedestrian movement, landscaped corridors and a vernacular that references traditional Arabian courtyard architecture without tipping into pastiche. Jomana sits within that framework.

The building's aesthetic is contemporary and restrained: minimalist in form, beige and sand in palette. It is the kind of architecture that ages more gracefully than glass-and-steel towers tend to, and it reads coherently against the broader MJL streetscape.

At 83 per cent constructed, the project is well into its delivery phase, with a May 2026 handover that buyers can reasonably plan around.

# Residences, layouts and kitchen specification

The development offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside four-bedroom residences. Kitchens are fitted, which is standard practice for Meraas within this community. Interiors follow a neutral, contemporary brief, with beige and sand tones carrying through from the lobby into the residential floors.

Selected apartments include private terraces that look out over landscaped grounds. Certain layouts also incorporate dedicated staff rooms, a practical feature for households that rely on live-in domestic help.

Specific square footage figures and current asking prices are not publicly listed, as the development is sold out.

# Amenities on site

The amenity offer is community-scaled rather than resort-scaled, which suits the residential character of MJL. A pool sits within a landscaped setting, and there are fitness facilities on site. Green open space and play areas serve families, and a retail centre within the community handles day-to-day convenience without requiring residents to drive.

The lobby is designed with a lounge component, and the gym faces a courtyard rather than a road, a detail that reflects the overall emphasis on inward-facing, garden-oriented living.

# What is accessible from Jomana

The geography works in the project's favour. Raffles International School is roughly one kilometre away, a three-minute drive. The mall at Souk Madinat Jumeirah is 1.3 kilometres and four minutes by car. The Burj Al Arab is 2.7 kilometres, seven minutes. A public beach sits 2.4 kilometres from the building, also reachable in seven minutes.

Downtown Dubai, the city's primary business and retail core, is 14.8 kilometres out and takes approximately eighteen minutes to reach. For residents who work there, that commute is manageable. For those who do not, the distance matters very little.

# Where Jomana sits in the Dubai market and who buys here

MJL appeals to a buyer who wants proximity to the water and to the Jumeirah lifestyle corridor without the density and pace of Downtown or Dubai Marina. The district is quieter by design, and that quiet is reflected in pricing, in the low-rise streetscape, and in the profile of its residents, which skews towards families and those who have already lived in Dubai long enough to know what they are prioritising.

Jomana's sell-out status places it in the secondary market, where buyers acquire from investors rather than directly from Meraas. The service charge is 21 AED per square foot, a figure worth factoring into yield calculations for investors who bought earlier and are now considering disposal. For end-users, the combination of location, completion proximity and a developer with a consistent delivery record in this specific district makes the wait short and the uncertainty relatively contained.
