Jumeirah Lake Towers

The Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) () is a large development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates which consists of 80 towers constructed along the edges of three artificial lakes (Lake Almas West, Lake Almas East, JLT Lake) as well as the JLT Embankment of eight towers facing Jumeirah Islands.

Initially JLT had four lakes (Lake Almas West, Lake Almas East, Lake Elucio, Lake Allure) but in late 2012 the developer of JLT, DMCC, announced that lake Elucio would be drained and a park would be created instead. Subsequently, Lake Allure has been renamed to JLT Lake. The total area covered by the lakes, waterways and landscaping is . The towers range from 35 to 45 floors, except for the centerpiece ( Almas Tower), which is 66 floors. The tallest tower and the centerpiece of the entire complex is Almas Tower which is situated on its own island between Lake Almas West and Lake Almas East.

The completion of Saba Tower in December 2006 marked the first tower to be completed in Jumeirah Lakes Towers. The majority of construction took place in 2008. By April 2011, over 80 percent of the JLT towers were said to have been completed. As of June 2015 there were reported to still be 11 towers unfinished, either abandoned due to the 2009 crisis or still undergoing construction. The most prominent of these are Wind Tower 1 and Wind Tower 2 that are part of Cluster B and on Sheik Zayed Road. Wind Towers 1 and 2 have been under construction for more than 12 years.
