A cluster of new apartment towers at the end of the Red Line, in the DLD area called Jabal Ali Industrial Second. Azizi builds most of them. Studios start from about AED 505,000, and DLD figures put gross yields near 9%. Schools, parks and beaches are all a drive away.

This is a place to buy a small flat by the metro, not yet a place to raise a family. Nearly every project we list starts with a studio. Life Pharmacy station, the last stop on the Red Line, is about 1.3 km from the middle of the cluster in a straight line. Nothing tagged as a school, park or hospital lies within 5 km. Most towers are due in 2027 and 2028, so expect building sites around you for years.

Nearest
Metro or tramLife Pharmacy Metro Station (formerly UAE Exchange)1.2 km
Yes. Life Pharmacy station (formerly UAE Exchange), the last stop on the Red Line, is about 1.3 km from the middle of the cluster in a straight line. That is a long walk in summer. Danube station is about 4 km away. Expo 2020 station, on the other branch of the Red Line, is about 6 km away.
Is Downtown Jebel Ali good for families?
Not yet. There is no school, park or hospital within 5 km in a straight line. The nearest school, Jebel Ali Primary, is about 7.5 km away, and The Arbor School (UK) about 8 km. Cedars hospital in Jebel Ali is about 5.3 km away, and Expo Park about 6 km. Every project we list is a flat. Most go up to two or three bedrooms, and Azizi Abraham has units up to about 4,000 sq ft.
What will a studio cost in Downtown Jebel Ali?
In the projects we list, studios start from about AED 505,000 (Azizi Abraham) to AED 695,000 (Peace Avenue). Samana Portside has no studios: its 1-beds start from about AED 1.09 million. In the DLD area, the median off-plan studio sold for about AED 615,000 in the year to September 2026, and a ready one for about AED 540,000. Prices were checked in November 2026.
Is Downtown Jebel Ali good to buy to rent out?
On paper, yes. In the DLD area, studios earned a gross yield of about 8.7% (AED 45,000 a year in rent) and 1-beds about 9.4% (AED 61,000), on Ejari rents for the year to March 2026. Those yields are on ready-home prices. Off-plan costs more: the median off-plan 1-bed sold for about AED 1.08 million, against about AED 625,000 for a ready one. Many towers here hand over in the same few years, so you will compete with other new flats for tenants.
When will the towers be finished?
Most of the projects we list are due in 2027 and 2028, and three in 2029. Two are due soon, in December 2026: Azizi Aryan and Eleve by Deyaar, which sits about 4 km from the main cluster. In the DLD register for this area, most projects not yet finished are at an early stage. Ask for your project's latest completion figure in the register.
