Elara by Meraas in Madinat Jumeirah Living
Elara is a residential apartment development by Meraas Holding within Madinat Jumeirah Living, a master community in Umm Suqeim 3, Dubai. Three buildings make up the project, offering one- to four-bedroom apartments. Construction started in November 2023 with a scheduled handover in November 2026.
Location in the Madinat Jumeirah Precinct
Madinat Jumeirah Living sits within the wider Madinat Jumeirah precinct in Umm Suqeim 3, close to the coastline that runs toward Jumeirah Beach Residence. The district connects directly to Sheikh Zayed Road, putting Mall of the Emirates around five minutes away by car and Dubai Marina within fifteen. Residents reach two of Dubai's main leisure and commercial corridors without being inside either one.
Umm Suqeim 3 is low-rise and quieter than the Marina strip. Buyers here get beach proximity and road access without the tower density or footfall of JBR. That trade-off suits families and buyers who put space and a calmer streetscape ahead of being at the centre of things. Being inside a master-planned development means maintained common areas and consistent security standards across the community.
AED 2.3M to AED 10.95M: What the Range Covers
Pricing opens at AED 2,300,000 and reaches AED 10,950,000. The width of the range follows the unit mix directly. One-bedrooms run from 729 to 1,350 sq ft, all starting at AED 2.3M. Two-bedrooms, from roughly 1,250 to 1,790 sq ft, begin at AED 3,165,000. Three-bedrooms span 1,926 to 2,355 sq ft from AED 6,619,000. Four-bedrooms, the largest at 3,691 to 4,533 sq ft, open at AED 10,950,000.
At the lower end, AED 2.3M buys a one-bedroom in one of Dubai's more established master communities. The price reflects the address. Four-bedroom buyers are in a different conversation: footprints of up to 4,533 sq ft in an apartment building put these units in villa territory for usable space.
One to Four Bedrooms
All units in Elara are apartments across three buildings. One-bedrooms fit single professionals, couples, or investors looking for a manageable entry into an established community. Two-bedrooms work for small families or anyone who needs a second room. Three-bedrooms give larger families comfortable space for daily living. Four-bedrooms serve buyers who want significant floor area and prefer the services of a managed building over the upkeep of a standalone property.
What the Amenity Set Signals
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness & Fitness | Health Club, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Green | Landscaped Gardens, Landscaped Parks |
| Community | Retail Facilities, Mosque, Security |
| Lifestyle | Shared Pool, Children's Play Area |
Nine amenities in total. A health club and a gymnasium are both on site. The pairing of landscaped gardens and parks points to outdoor space as a real design priority, not a token strip of green. On-site retail and a mosque mean residents can handle daily needs without leaving the community. The children's play area alongside the shared pool reinforces that the project is targeting families and long-stay residents, not a short-stay tenant base.
November 2026 Completion
Construction started in November 2023 with an expected handover of November 2026, completing a three-year build cycle now in its final stretch. Buyers entering now are close to handover with under four months to the scheduled completion date. With the bulk of construction behind the project, there is visible progress for buyers to assess.
Getting In for 20% Down
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Handover | 30% |
The entry requirement is a 20% down payment. The bulk of the purchase, 50%, is spread across construction instalments over the build period. The final 30% falls due at handover in November 2026. There is no post-handover plan, so the full purchase price is settled at key collection.
