Orra the Embankment: Apartments in Jumeirah Lake Towers from AED 568K
Orra the Embankment is a residential tower in Jumeirah Lake Towers, developed by Prestige One Developments. The project delivers one- and two-bedroom apartments across floors 5 to 34. Construction began in late 2008, and the expected completion was August 2023, placing this in the delivered-building category. Anyone buying here is entering an operating tower, not an off-plan development.
JLT: Metro-Connected, Lakeside, Office-Adjacent
Jumeirah Lake Towers sits directly across Sheikh Zayed Road from Dubai Marina. The Jumeirah Lake Towers Metro Station on the Red Line connects residents to Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport in a single ride. DMCC, one of Dubai's major free zones, has its headquarters within this cluster of towers. The location gives residents quick access to Dubai Marina to the south and Barsha Heights to the north, two of the denser commercial zones in this part of the city.
Ground-level retail, cafes, and restaurants run between the tower bases throughout the community. The man-made lakes and landscaped paths give JLT a compact, walkable layout.
What AED 568K to AED 977K Buys You
The price spread runs from AED 568,176 to AED 977,301, and that gap maps almost entirely to the shift from one bedroom to two.
One-bedroom units start at AED 568,176, with sizes spanning from 847 sq ft to 1,375 sq ft. That size variation within a single entry price is significant. At 847 sq ft, you are buying a compact, efficient unit suited to single occupancy or a rental strategy. At 1,375 sq ft, the same starting price delivers a substantially larger apartment that works well as a primary home.
Two-bedroom apartments are priced at AED 977,301, with floor areas between 1,513 and 1,659 sq ft across several layout configurations. Two-bedroom options extend to the upper sections of the tower, with some layouts reaching floor 34. For under AED 1 million, this tier delivers a family-sized apartment in a delivered JLT building.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Health Club, Gymnasium |
| Leisure | Shared Pool, Landscaped Gardens |
| F&B | Cafe and Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
Six amenities covering the everyday essentials. The health club and gymnasium are listed as distinct facilities, giving residents two separate fitness spaces rather than a single combined room. The on-site cafe and restaurants add a food option within the building. A Children's Play Area alongside the shared pool and landscaped gardens signals a resident mix that includes families as well as individual professionals. This is a practical, everyday-use amenity package rather than a premium or luxury one.
