The Masterplan unveils six lifestyle districts featuring a Mandarin Oriental 5-star resort, a golf course, a tennis stadium, and an international academy, all set amidst expansive green spaces and seamlessly connected by comprehensive infrastructure.
Dubai, UAE – May 14, 2025 – Wasl, one of Dubai’s largest real estate developers, has announced the next phase of Jumeirah Golf Estates (JGE), unveiling a major expansion masterplan that significantly increases the community’s scale and positions it among the UAE’s most ambitious integrated luxurious lifestyle destinations.
The 4.68 million square metre expansion will add a variety of residential units across six distinctive districts, including 780 luxurious villas, 62 ultra-luxury hilltop mansions, 97 branded residences, 752 estate homes, and 10,654 apartments, totaling 12,345 new units. Spanning 1.83 million square metres, the residential units will ultimately accommodate over 51,700 residents. The new masterplan – ‘Jumeirah Golf Estates The Next Chapter’ – aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and represents a strategic investment in the city’s long-term growth and livability.
Strategically located along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and with direct access to the Etihad Rail station currently under construction within the project. The development will benefit from Dubai Metro access and connectivity to four major arterial roads: Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), Al Yalayis Street / Jebel Ali Al-Hibab Road (D57), Al Khail Road / Al Fay Road (E44), Al Jamayel Street (D59). Its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport adds further logistical appeal.
The masterplan introduces 1.5 million square metres of lush green and open spaces and offers a wide range of residential types – including park-facing apartments, golf-view villas, branded residences, estate homes, and ultra-luxury hilltop mansions. A five-star Mandarin Oriental resort will anchor the hospitality offering within the community.
“The unveiling of Jumeirah Golf Estates – The Next Chapter represents a pivotal milestone for Wasl and a defining moment for the evolution of urban development in Dubai,” said H.E. Hesham Abdullah Al Qassim, Group CEO of Wasl. “Through visionary planning, sustainable design principles, and an unwavering commitment to enhancing quality of life, we are shaping the communities of tomorrow. This is the foundation upon which enduring legacies are built – communities that not only reflect today’s aspirations but also serve the needs of generations to come.”
The six new districts – Central Park, Village, Town Centre & Grand Lake, Golf Course North, Golf Course South, and Equestrian Village – will be linked by green corridors and recreational trails. A 131,850 sqm Central Park, one of Dubai’s largest within a residential community, will serve as a key destination for leisure and wellness.
The development includes over 48,000 sqm of retail and F&B space, a 46,000 sqm campus for an international school, healthcare centres, religious facilities, and other civic amenities designed to meet the needs of a diverse, multi-generational population.
Active living is at the core of the plan, anchored by a new 18-hole golf course and academy, a world-class equestrian centre with show-jumping facilities, and what is set to be Dubai’s largest tennis stadium with capacity of over 5,000 spectators.
Jumeirah Golf Estates’ Next Chapter reflects Wasl’s broader strategy to elevate Jumeirah Golf Estates into a legacy destination – one that supports Dubai’s urban evolution while setting a new benchmark for integrated, future-ready living.
