JLT Cluster Q at a glance

What is Cluster Q?

JLT has about 80 towers built around three lakes and organised into 26 clusters, lettered A to Z in groups of three towers. Cluster Q holds the Saba towers and Dubai Gate 1. Property Finder describes it as a mixed-use cluster of towers typically over 30 floors, with residential and commercial space. People search for it as "JLT Cluster Q" or "Q cluster", and this page covers all three towers.

The three towers

Both Saba towers list 354 units on Bayut, and the sizes are covered area. Saba Tower 2 and 3 also have 4 and 5 bedroom penthouses, some with a private pool. For Dubai Gate 1, listings give completion years from the late 2000s to 2021, so check the age of the specific unit before you rely on it.

Where is Cluster Q and how do you get there?

The cluster borders Sheikh Zayed Road and sits beside Dubai Marina. Bayut gives the Sobha Realty Metro Station as the nearest, about a 7 minute walk from the Saba towers and about a 4 minute drive from Dubai Gate 1. Property Finder adds a JLT Saba 1 Tower bus stop 193 m away. Dubai Marina Mall is about 12 minutes from Dubai Gate 1 by car, according to Bayut. See the Jumeirah Lake Towers community page for the wider district.

Stock changes weekly and we hear about units before they are advertised, so tell us your budget and size. Read our tenant guide before you sign. For nearby options, see apartments for rent in Dubai Marina.

Buying in JLT Cluster Q

All three towers are freehold, so foreign buyers can own. If you own in the cluster and want to sell or let, we would like to hear from you. See off-plan projects in Jumeirah Lake Towers for new launches. We do not quote prices or yields because we have no dated official source.

Service charges

Service charges are set per sq ft each year and published in the Dubai Land Department service charge index. They differ by tower, and Bayut shows figures for each that are undated and subject to change, so we do not repeat them. Ask for the latest invoice, and read how to check service charges before you buy.

Who Cluster Q suits

Working professionals who want metro access and Marina nearby, investors looking for a studio or one bedroom to let, and buyers who want a tower with a shop podium at the base. It is less natural for families, who make up a small share of residents.

Pros and cons

• Pros: metro within walking distance of the Saba towers, supermarket and restaurants at podium level, wide choice from studios to penthouses, Marina next door.
• Cons: facilities differ by tower (Bayut lists no garden, event space or pet-friendly facilities at Dubai Gate 1), a small share of families, and the exact completion year of Dubai Gate 1 is unclear.
