DMCC Breaks Ground on W Residences Dubai in JLT

DMCC, in partnership with Signature Developers and Marriott International, has officially broken ground on the W Residences Dubai tower in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). This 38-storey development will feature 33 residential floors, two podiums, a ground floor, and three basement levels. The building is designed to house 185 exclusive branded residences, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as four-bedroom penthouses.

Premium Lifestyle Amenities

Residents will enjoy the signature Whatever/Whenever® service from W Hotels, alongside an array of high-end amenities. These include the WET® deck with swimming pool and jacuzzi, state-of-the-art gyms, dedicated yoga and Pilates studios, spa treatment rooms, barbecue pods, co‑working areas with a coffee bar, games room, private meeting rooms, and more.

Stakeholder Perspectives

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC, remarked: “The groundbreaking of W Residences is another milestone in the ongoing transformation of JLT into one of the most dynamic and desirable districts in Dubai. Through our collaboration with Signature Developers and Marriott International, this 38-storey development is set to include 185 exclusive branded residences and premium amenities. The introduction of this globally renowned brand to a prime location within the heart of JLT is a statement of intent as we continue to set the benchmark for luxury urban living.”

Sandeep Walia, Chief Operating Officer for the Middle East and Luxury at Marriott International, added: “This residential development in the vibrant JLT neighbourhood combines our renowned luxury lifestyle brand, W Hotels, and experience operating branded residences with Signature Developers’ legacy of innovation and exceptional quality in the real estate sector.”

Prime Location and Design Vision

The W Residences tower will offer panoramic views across Emirates Hills, Meadows, Jumeirah Islands, and the Emirates Golf Course, including the Montgomerie Golf Club. Designed to support resort-style living in a metropolitan setting, the tower integrates seamlessly into JLT’s walkable, mixed-use environment, with direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road and proximity to Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai.

Former Success Prefigures Strong Demand

DMCC and Signature Developers previously collaborated on The Residences JLT, completed in 2019 to critical acclaim. With earlier phases of W Residences already sold out and Phase III now under construction, the project is positioned to become another defining element in Dubai’s branded luxury real estate segment.

Delivery Timeline & Market Outlook

The project is expected to complete in Q4 2028, reinforcing JLT’s ongoing transformation into a lifestyle-centric urban zone. The combination of Marriott branding, full-service amenities, and a strategic location is anticipated to drive strong interest from buyers seeking luxury living with hotel-inspired convenience.

With high-calibre design, branded service, and lifestyle offerings, W Residences Dubai is set to elevate JLT’s residential profile. The project aligns with global trends in branded real estate and cements the area’s place in Dubai’s upscale residential evolution. Buyers and investors can expect a product that blends quality, connectivity, and the prestige of Marriott’s hospitality expertise.
