The project is situated on an elevated site approximately 985 meters (3,232 ft) above mean sea level, in the Umm Uthainah Al-Gharbi neighborhood of West Amman, near the 6th Circle on Zahran Street.

Additionally, the development features five underground parking levels, spanning 71,000 m² (760,000 sq ft), with a capacity to accommodate 1,764 passenger vehicles.

[2][3][4] The project will feature 215 residential apartments, a three-story shopping mall with 72 retail brands, a swimming pool, a 157-meter bicycle track, and both indoor and outdoor gyms.

On 29 May 2005, King Abdullah II laid the foundation stone for the Jordan Gate project, and excavation works began shortly thereafter.

From March to September 2017, construction briefly resumed , including façade cleaning, bracing against seismic loads, steel jacketing, formwork and casting, scaffolding, coring and anchoring, and roof insulation.

[26][27][28] In February 2022, the Greater Amman Municipality re-entered the project as a partner, acquiring 31% of the Jordan Gate Company’s capital (equivalent to 50 million Jordanian Dinars) in an effort to address the "investment failure" in the heart of the city.

[13] On 10 October 2007, due to an electrical surge that reached the wood of the scaffolding, a brief fire broke out at about 3 o'clock in the morning on the 35th storey of the North Tower.

[35] At around 8 o'clock in the evening on 12 September 2006, less than three weeks after the fire of August, part of the 3rd storey's slab of the South Tower collapsed due to a failure in the scaffolding, killing two Egyptian workers and injuring 25 others.

Works on the project were halted for several months following a decision by Greater Amman Municipality, in order to gain a building license.

Bags of sand and polystyrene plates were put at ground level to absorb the kinetic energy if the dismantled crane fell during the process.
