Rise Residence in JVC: Studios to Two-Bedrooms from AED 700,000
Rise Residence is an apartment project by S&S Development, located in District 16 of Jumeirah Village Circle in Dubai. Construction began in August 2023. The building offers studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments in one of Dubai's most active mid-market residential communities.
What Being in JVC Actually Means
Jumeirah Village Circle sits in the heart of new Dubai, roughly midway between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. From District 16, you have straightforward access to both arterials. Both roads carry fast-moving traffic toward the main business districts, making them the primary commute route for most JVC residents. That puts you about 20 to 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Business Bay by car, and a similar drive to Dubai Marina and JBR. Al Khail Road also links this location to Dubai Hills and the Expo City corridor to the south, without crossing the city center.
The community has schools, clinics, supermarkets, and parks spread across its circular layout. District 16 is one of the numbered residential sub-districts within JVC's circular master plan. It is not a transit-oriented location in the way that Business Bay or DIFC are, but residents who drive find it practical. JVC's internal streets carry local rather than through-traffic, which keeps the immediate surroundings quieter than the main arterials might suggest.
What AED 700K to AED 1.5M Covers
The price range here spans more than double, and that reflects three distinct buyer profiles.
At the AED 700,000 entry point, you are looking at a studio unit of around 418 sq ft. That is a compact but self-contained layout. The typical buyer is a single professional or a small investor entering at the lower end of this project's price range.
The one-bedroom units start at around AED 972,000 and cover approximately 710 sq ft. That extra space makes a meaningful difference in livability for a couple or a small family. For investors, it broadens the pool of potential renters compared to a studio.
At the top end, a two-bedroom unit at AED 1,513,000 spans 1,380 sq ft. That buyer is often a family seeking a primary residence or an investor targeting the longer-stay rental segment.
The three price points within a single building mean buyers at different budget levels can compare options without researching separate developments across the community.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| On handover | 40% |
The 20% down payment is the initial outlay on day one. Construction installments spread across the build period. The full 40% falls due at handover, which is the largest single payment in the schedule. On a two-bedroom at AED 1.51M, that tranche comes to approximately AED 605,000. The structure gives buyers a relatively light entry point but concentrates a large sum at the completion stage.
Facilities: Active Living on a Practical Budget
| Theme | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Bicycle Track |
| Wellness | Jacuzzi & Steam |
| Leisure | Shared Pool, Barbecue Area |
| Safety | Security |
Six amenities across four themes is a lean set, but the inclusion of wellness facilities alongside fitness and leisure creates a balanced offering for day-to-day residents. The Jacuzzi & Steam combination stands out at this price point. The bicycle track is a practical addition for a community the size of JVC, where cycling as transport or recreation is viable. The amenity set reads as a project targeting active residents who want health and leisure facilities on-site without the premium footprint of a resort-style building.
Timeline: Construction Complete as of June 2025
S&S Development broke ground in August 2023. The expected completion date was June 2025, a build period of under two years. As of mid-2026, that date has passed, which means the project has likely reached handover stage. Buyers entering now are purchasing a completed or near-completed asset rather than a long-dated off-plan commitment. That changes the risk profile considerably. You are not waiting years for delivery. The gap between contract and ownership is much shorter, and the construction risk is substantially lower than it would have been for a buyer who entered at launch.
