Project Overview
Jumeirah Central is a transformative mixed-use masterplan occupying a prime 47-hectare site along Sheikh Zayed Road between Dubai Canal and Mall of the Emirates. Announced by Meraas, the development envisions a walkable urban district with residences, offices, hospitality and retail integrated around pedestrian-first boulevards and activated public spaces.
Strategically positioned at the geographic centre of New Dubai, Jumeirah Central benefits from unrivalled connectivity flanked by Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, with direct access to two metro stations and the Dubai Canal waterfront. The site's location between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina places it at the crossroads of the emirate's two most established luxury corridors.
The masterplan prioritises sustainability and liveability, drawing inspiration from the world's most celebrated urban quarters. Upon completion, Jumeirah Central will accommodate approximately 35,000 residents and attract 150,000 daily visitors, establishing a new centre of gravity for Dubai's urban fabric.

Investment Thesis
Jumeirah Central occupies the last significant undeveloped parcel on Sheikh Zayed Road between Downtown and Marina. Scarcity of this magnitude in a mature luxury corridor commands a structural premium.
Meraas's track record with City Walk and Bluewaters demonstrates an ability to create destination districts that meaningfully elevate surrounding property values within 3–5 years of opening.
Early-phase acquisitions in adjacent communities particularly Al Quoz and Al Safa offer exposure to Jumeirah Central's upside at a fraction of the eventual on-site residential pricing.
