New address system for Dubai
Makani ("my location" in Arabic) is a new address system for Dubai, being developed by the Dubai Municipality Geographic Information System (GIS) department (dates 2012-2014?).
Phase 1 is to give each one of the 124,000 buildings in the emirate of Dubai a unique location code.
Phase 2 is to develop a web and smartphone application for the mapping system.
GIS is using the 10-digit Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) for building locations, which is accurate to 1 meter.
Website at www.makani.ae.
Updates
19 Dec 2013 (WAMi) distribution of address coordinates expected to begin in March 2014. Distribution will be fridge magnets for private villas (and apartments?), stickers for shops, and table display for hotels.

Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT)
Correct name seems to be Jumeirah Lakes Towers, not Jumeirah Lake Towers (which figures, since there are several lakes). But Jumeirah Lake Towers is commonly used. The area is not in the traditional Jumeirah district of Dubai, it is part of New Dubai, sort of between Dubai Marina and Emirates Hills. JLT Free Zone Authority is the Dubai Multi Commodities Center Authority (DMCCA).
Name change to Jumeirah Sands Towers or Jumeirah Sand Towers after lakes have been filled in (filling in underway during 2012-2014 or so)?
JLT is mostly tower blocks surrounding 4 lakes (eventually 0 lakes or 1 lake as they get filled in). Tower blocks are in clusters of 3 with a traffic entry and exit to a main loop road for the whole area.
11 Jul 2013 - Ahmed Bin Sulayem (Sulaimen), Executive Chairman of the DMCC Authority, was reported in an Arabian Business story as saying "It's no secret, I hate lakes. I love more efficiency. ... The only lake that I think will be untouchable is the one facing the Dubai Diamond Exchange [because of] the view." Lake C is already filled in and will become a park. Unknown what will happen to the other lakes as they get filled i, but at least he apparently said "It wouldn't be extra towers though. That’s all I can say."
Lakes, or lake areas from west to east (Abu Dhabi end of JLT to Dubai end) are:
Almas West (Lake A?). A main connecting road and Al Mas Tower between Areas A and B.
Almas East (Lake B?). A main connecting road between Areas B and C. During 2013 with horrible traffic jams during peak traffic times, hopefully temporary due to road construction work.
Lake Zafeer (Lake C? Lak Elucio?). Pedestrian walkway between Areas C and D. As of 2013 the lake has been filled in, and there are plans to build a park with amphitheatre, sports facilities, basketball courts. Park area 55,000 square meters.
Lake D (Lake Allure?)?
Traffic is annoying in JLT area. The main loop road is mostly one way, clockwise around the towers and lakes, and prone to bad traffic jams at construction bottlenecks. If you miss a tower cluster entrance at the wrong time you're better off parking as soon as possible and walking back because you can't do a U-turn and have to drive around the loop again.
Al Mas Tower (AlMas) is a sort of centrally located building with a main road connecting opposite sides of the loop road. Between areas or lakes A and B.
Parking availability in tower clusters is sometimes free, sometimes paid, sometimes restricted. If restricted and you want free parking, try the next cluster and walk back (if it's not too hot). Lower level parking is shaded. Upper level parking mostly unshaded.
Promenade level around the lakes has restaurants, cafes, and other stores.
Tower clusters named A-Z and usually reasonably well signposted. Letters A to N are clockwise starting at the Abu Dhabi (west) end of JLT and going clockwise around the western half of JLT (two lakes) back to the Abu Dhabi end. Letters O to Z start in the middle of JLT and run clockwise around the eastern half towards Dubai to letter U, then clusters V-Z seem to be arranged randomly at the eastern end of Lake D.
Metro Stations serving JLT
Two metro stations, JLT (closer to Abu Dhabi) and Dubai Marina (closer to Dubai).
JLT Metro Station - closest to all tower clusters in areas A and B (around lakes A and B), including Al Mas Tower. Cluster O in area C is closer to JLT Station. DMCC Enterprise Zone plot 1 (plots 1A to 1G) are closer to JLT station.
Dubai Marina Metro Station - closest to tower clusters Q to Z, and most of the DMCC Enterprise Zone (plot numbers 2 and higher). Cluster P is about halfway between the two metro stations or marginally closer to Dubai Marina station.

Tecom
Tecom is the name of an area in Dubai near Al Barsha, The Greens, and Sheikh Zayed Road consisting of residential apartment towers, commercial and office towers, and hotel and serviced apartment towers. TECOM Investments is the name of a holding company for several free zones in Dubai including ones near the TECOM area - Dubai Internet City, Dubai Knowledge Village, and Dubai Media City.
Sharing apartments in Tecom area
Many apartments in the Tecom area are rented out by a primary tenant who then sublets bedrooms on a monthly basis to additional tenants. Sharing apartments and villas in Dubai is common but is also either illegal or a grey area in terms of the law, unless the people sharing belong to the same family.
12 Feb 2014 - Gulf News Express reported that some building management companies in the Tecom area are issuing eviction notices to tenants if they are found sharing apartments not in accordance with the leasing terms and conditions, for example buildings which only allow families to rent apartments. Management companies are also requiring tenants who leave to apply for a permit before moving out - this is to confirm that the person moving out is the person who signed the rental or lease agreement. A statement from Tecom said "It is the responsibility of building owners what management rules and regulations they put in place in terms of tenants occupying their buildings, but these must be in line with government regulations. Tecom Investments has no responsibility in this regard."
