Downtown Jebel Ali is a 200-hectare, mixed-use urban community along an 11 kilometre stretch of Sheikh Zayed Road. It will accommodate more than 200,000 people in four distinctive zones. Each zone will have three individual districts: The Urban Centre, The Trellis and The Medina, creating a blend of business, residential, shopping, dining and entertainment facilities as well as its own iconic, individually themed Plaza, which will be the transport, retail and entertainment hub of the zone.

Downtown Jebel Ali is located between the Jebel Ali Free zone and Techno Park, and will have 330 buildings, 208 of which are residential. Around one hectare in five will be green, open space and there will be pedestrianised, car-free areas. The development will also boast a rich, convenient transport system, enabling people to live in, work at or visit Downtown Jebel Ali without the need for a car. An internal “people mover” will use the latest technology to provide easy, environmentally friendly travel within each zone; four Dubai Metro stations will allow effortless travel between each zone; and road access will be via four new freeway interchanges.
