Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) is the DMCC free zone, with clusters of office towers, a large number of trading, consulting and technology companies and retail at podium level. Many units are small to mid-size, and speed and budget control matter.
Artirior fits out offices and retail units in JLT, handling the tower management and DMCC requirements with the construction.
What owners and tenants in JLT usually ask for
- Small and mid-size office fit-outs with efficient layouts and storage
- Glass partitions, meeting rooms and pantry joinery
- Retail and café units at podium level, including MEP and ventilation changes
- Programmes planned around each cluster tower’s contractor and lift rules
Approvals in JLT
JLT fit-outs usually need the building management’s approval, the DMCC’s requirements for fit-out works in the free zone and Civil Defense review where applicable. Each tower has its own guide, so we check the specific building before design starts.
Requirements differ by property and change over time. We confirm the current position for your unit at the site visit.

Questions about JLT
Do you handle DMCC fit-out approvals?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and documents to the free zone’s and the tower’s requirements and submit them as part of the project.
Do you fit out café and restaurant units in JLT?
Yes. Food and beverage units need additional MEP, ventilation and compliance work, which we plan from the start.
What is the typical timeline for a small office in JLT?
Smaller units can be completed relatively quickly once approvals are in place. We give you a dated programme after the site visit.
