Lamaa Mjl: Apartments in Madinat Jumeirah Living by Meraas Holding
Lamaa is a residential project by Meraas Holding within Madinat Jumeirah Living (MJL), a gated community in Umm Suqeim 3, Dubai. It spans four buildings and covers the full apartment spectrum, from compact one-bedrooms to large four-bedroom homes. The project is complete or near-complete, with a handover date that has already passed.
What the MJL Address Means Day to Day
Madinat Jumeirah Living sits between Al Wasl Road and Jumeirah Beach Road in Umm Suqeim 3. Jumeirah Beach is about a 10-minute walk. The Mall of the Emirates is roughly 10 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are around 20 to 25 minutes in normal traffic.
The community is low-density and largely pedestrianised from the inside. It has a quieter pace than Dubai Marina or JBR, while still connecting quickly to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl. For owner-occupiers, it combines a residential neighbourhood feel with strong access to the city. For investors, the location puts the project in one of Dubai's more established mid-to-upper residential corridors.
What AED 1.45M to AED 7.98M Covers
The price range is wide: AED 1,455,000 at the low end and AED 7,982,000 at the high end. The gap reflects unit type, not quality variations within a type. Every tier has a fixed starting price.
One-bedroom units start at AED 1,455,000. Sizes range from 729 sq ft to just over 1,000 sq ft. The compact units at 729 to 745 sq ft are the most affordable entry into MJL. Ground-floor one-bedrooms push closer to 900 to 1,000 sq ft and offer more space at the same price floor.
Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 2,178,000. The size range here is notable: from 1,104 sq ft up to 1,906 sq ft, all at the same starting price. Which unit a buyer ends up in matters more than the bedroom count alone.
Three-bedroom units start at AED 4,227,000, ranging from 1,818 to 2,558 sq ft. This tier suits families who want a family home without stretching to villa territory.
Four-bedroom apartments start at AED 7,982,000. Sizes go from 1,943 sq ft up to 3,530 sq ft. A 3,530 sq ft four-bedroom in MJL is a substantial home for a family that wants space in an established community.

Two features stand out. Vastu compliance is uncommon in Dubai apartment buildings and signals that the project has been positioned with South Asian buyer preferences in mind. Pets allowed is not guaranteed across Dubai buildings, so this matters to buyers with animals.
The on-site pharmacy, restaurants, and retail reduce dependence on a car for daily errands. The combination of children's pool, play area, and maids room points squarely at families as the primary resident profile.
January 2026 Completion: Already Handed Over
The expected completion date for Lamaa was January 27, 2026. That date has passed. Buyers looking at this project now are not entering into a long off-plan wait. The project is either already handed over or in the final stages of doing so. That changes the risk profile compared to a project two or three years from delivery.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 30% |
| Handover | 50% |
The 20% down payment is in line with the typical Dubai off-plan floor. The structure is back-loaded: half the purchase price falls due at handover. For a one-bedroom at AED 1,455,000, that is roughly AED 727,500 due at key collection. Given the handover date has passed, buyers entering now should expect this payment to land quickly.
