Madinat Jumeirah Living
Dubai Holding is the master developer of Madinat Jumeirah Living, which lies in Umm Suqeim 3 at the crossing of Al Wasl Road (D92) with Umm Suqeim Street (D63). It was Umm Suqeim's first freehold residential development. Its launch came in 2018, and ground was broken the year after.
The development extends over 3.85 million square feet. It is laid out as residential clusters set among quiet open spaces, joined by linked paths and designed around people on foot rather than cars. Its architecture follows the look of the neighbouring Madinat Jumeirah Resort, with wind towers and broad walkways under shade, and an air-conditioned footbridge connects the community directly to the resort.
Elara sits alongside seven other sub-communities: Al Jazi, Asayel, Jadeel, Jomana, Lamaa, Lamtara and Rahaal. Asayel, Jadeel, Lamtara and Rahaal are complete.
