Jebel Ali District

About Jebel Ali District

A visionary transformation of one of Dubai's historic landmarks into a vibrant, sustainable community designed for the future.

The Vision

The Jebel Ali District represents a bold reimagining of urban development in Dubai, transforming the historic Jebel Ali Racecourse into a progressive, sustainable city district spanning 5 square kilometers. This landmark project aims to create a model for future community development that honors Dubai's heritage while embracing innovative design principles.

At its heart lies a central park designed to reconnect the city with its equestrian and ecological heritage, serving as the green heart of this ambitious development. Surrounding this central space, carefully designed 'urban islands' will gradually increase in density while seamlessly integrating with neighboring communities.

More than just a real estate project, the Jebel Ali District embodies a holistic approach to urban living, guided by 17 measurable key performance indicators focusing on wellbeing, sustainability, culture, identity, and innovation. This framework ensures that every aspect of the development contributes to creating a vibrant, livable community where people can thrive.
