The best buildings in Jumeirah Village Circle

Every building

Ranked by what buyers paid

Median resale price per square foot of completed homes, dearest first, for every apartment building in Jumeirah Village Circle the register can price. Each name opens the building's own page — every recorded sale, sizes, the year it was handed over.

Binghatti Royale leads at AED 2,393 a square foot — a median home AED 1,978,749, a tower handed over in 2025. Then Dawn by Binghatti (AED 2,336), Oxford 212 (AED 1,888) and Oakley Square Residence Block A (AED 1,786). Nine of the top ten handed over in 2023 or later, one in the years before: in the circle the newest building is the dearest, and the first decade is the floor. At the foot, Siena 1 (AED 601) — 4.0 times apart, top to bottom, in one district. The building the register knows best is The Manhattan Tower, 533 completed homes resold since 2009, at AED 828 a foot in its window. Rising most on the year before: May Residence 2 (+37%), National Bonds Residence (+36%) and H Three by Aurora (+33%).

Completed homes resold and registered at the Land Department, off-plan left out. A building with ten or more resales in the twelve months to 11 Sept 2026 is priced on those; one with fewer is priced over the last three years, marked “3 yrs”, and its figure is the older for it — 77 of the 204 are. “On the year before” compares the window with the same span before it. “Age” is the handover year where the register can derive one, else the year of its first recorded sale — the first buildings predate the register, so their first sale is a floor on their age, not the age itself. “Family” is a name that recurs — a developer’s across the circle, or one plot’s numbered set; the caveat under the families says which is which. A building is ranked on its flats: the register’s own property type tells a flat from a townhouse, and Ashton Park (1 townhouse resales beside 12 flats over six years), Autumn 1 (68 townhouse resales beside 95 flats over six years), Hyati Residences (8 townhouse resales beside 75 flats over six years) and Summer 2 (33 townhouse resales beside 102 flats over six years) hold both and are priced on the flats alone. Set aside, a portfolio changing hands: AKA Residence (135 of its 218 resales registered on 21 Jul 2025), Golden Homes Building (41 of its 72 resales registered on 29 Jul 2026), Serenity Lakes 5 (12 of its 24 resales registered on 16 Oct 2025) and Taraf 1 Residence (52 of its 83 resales registered on 14 Sept 2023). Set aside on the community report's ninety-day measure, which catches a batch spread over a few days: Plaza Residences 2 (17 on five days, a window median of AED 1,033), Dune Residency (40 on nine days, a window median of AED 736) and Regent Court (20 on three days, a window median of AED 552) — each is priced on its own page, with the batch visible in its sales. Named but not ranked, having traded too little for a window: 10 buildings, below. 19 pages under the district have no recorded sale of a home and are left out of every count here.

The names that recur

One name on 35 buildings: the brands, and the pairs

43 names on the register here cover 173 buildings between them. In most districts a family is one developer's set on one plot. In the circle it is mostly a developer's name on plots all over the district — the register carries no developer, so the name is the only trace of one — and the spread inside a name is the fairest measure of how little the name decides. The pairs, two towers on one plot handed over together, are where the register can hold everything still but the view.

A name marked “brand” is a developer’s, grouped across the circle by the page’s own rule — the register carries no developer, so the set is a reading of the names, and a building a developer did not put its name on is not in it. Every other family is a name the register repeats with a number, a letter, a compass point or a series after it. A building printed faint is on the register and not priced — sold off-plan only, too quiet for a window, or set aside as a portfolio transfer. A few sets the register spells inconsistently are read as one by rule: the Tuscan Residences’ Siena and Florence blocks, which it spells three ways; Emirates Gardens’ six lettered blocks; the Sandoval Gardens pair; Pantheon’s Elysee towers, one of which drops the Pantheon; the Autograph’s series; the Orchard Place towers; Luma 22 and its west tower. “First on the register” is the earliest handover the register can derive across the set, else its first sale; “still to come” counts the set’s buildings with no completed resale yet. Resales are summed over each ranked building’s own window; the spread is of building medians; “against the district” is the median of those medians over the district’s AED 1,312.

Binghatti is the name on 35 buildings here — more than any family on any district page on this site, and 5 of them still to resell a completed home. The 30 the register can price run from Binghatti Royale (AED 2,393) to Binghatti Gems (AED 956), 150% top to bottom, a median +7% on the district; four of the top ten on the ranking carry the name. The other brands read the same way: Danube (9, AED 1,544–1,611), Belgravia (8, AED 1,295–1,617), Oxford (7, AED 1,444–1,888) and Bloom (5, AED 1,228–1,578). One name is not one price. What the spread inside a name measures is everything the name does not decide — the plot, the year, the floor, what the window faces — which in the circle is most of it.

The pairs are the page's cleanest instrument. 22 sets here are two towers on one plot from one developer, both priced — so the register holds the developer, the decade, the plot and the finish still, and what is left is the view and the floor plan. The pairs sit a median 7% apart. The widest is Rokane: Rokane G25 (AED 1,495) against Rokane G22 (AED 1,179), 27% between two towers on one plot. The closest is Summer, 1% apart — Summer 1 (AED 886) and Summer 2 (AED 876) — two towers the market reads as one. The numbered sets of the first decade — Emirates Gardens (6), Tuscan Residences (4), Arezzo (2) and Autumn (2) — are the other kind of family, blocks on one plan handed over together, and the spread inside them is a floor and a park view, not a building. Before paying a premium for a name, ask which tower of the pair the flat is in and what it looks at; the register says the answer is worth up to 27% here.

By layout

What a home costs, building by building

The median price of each layout in each tower over the last three years, with the size of a one-bedroom beside it — the district's most-traded layout, and the table a buyer with a layout in mind actually wants. The townhouse clusters' layouts are in their own table above.

The circle is a market of small flats, and the small flat is the dear one a foot: a studio across the district fetched a median AED 1,281 a square foot over the last three years against AED 1,168 for a one-bedroom and AED 1,117 for a two-bedroom — 10% more a foot for the smallest home, on 433 square feet. By the home it runs the other way: a studio a median AED 560,000, a one-bedroom AED 900,000, a two-bedroom AED 1,411,728. An investor buying by the foot and a family buying by the room are reading the same table from opposite ends.

AED, the median price of completed flats of that layout resold in the building over the last three years — a longer span than the ranking’s, so that more layouts clear the five-sale floor; a dash means the layout did not clear it there, not that none exist. Rows are in family order, then the buildings that stand alone, by name. The size beside is the median of the same sales. The report’s community page carries the district’s figures by layout and by year — a one-bedroom across the district a median AED 900,000 on 793 square feet.

Still to come

The towers the register knows only off-plan

120 buildings in the circle have recorded sales and not one completed-home resale — 23,723 sales by developers between them, more towers in the pipeline than most districts have buildings. They are named so you know they exist; they are not priced, because an off-plan sale is priced to a launch schedule, not a market, and this page never blends the two.

2024 registered 12,195 off-plan sales in the circle — more than its first twelve years put together — and the plots along the outer ring and the main roads are what they were spent on. The names above recur below: Danube (7), Binghatti (5), Samana (5), The Orchard Place (4) and Maison Elysee (3) and more. 113 of these towers reached the register in 2023 or later — Binghatti Circle the most sold, at 774. Every one was sold at a premium to the completed homes around it (+20% a foot in the window, district-wide); whether the premium holds is decided on the day its first completed flat resells, and that is the day it joins the ranking above, as Binghatti Apex did this year.
