RA1N

RA1N is a completed 25-storey residential tower by Object 1, situated in Jumeirah Village Circle and handed over in Q4 2024. Its 144 fully furnished apartments across one building represent the developer's most recognisable project to date in what has become one of Dubai's more active mid-market neighbourhoods.

# The Tower and Its Position in JVC

JVC occupies a strategic midpoint in the city's road network, accessible via Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Barsha Road. The district is predominantly low-to-mid-rise, a mix of villas, townhouses and apartment buildings that keeps the streetscape quieter than the marina corridors to the west.

RA1N sits within this context as one of the taller structures in the immediate area. Object 1 built the facade around a cool palette of light grey and white, with water features and blue-tinted interior elements carrying a consistent visual language through the building. The result is a tower that reads as architecturally deliberate rather than generic, which is still far from guaranteed in JVC's faster-built pockets.

Construction is complete and the project is fully handed over.

# Residences, Layouts and Specification

The building offers one- and two-bedroom apartments across its 144 units. One-bedroom homes range from 690 to 914 square feet; two-bedrooms from 886 to just over 1,506 square feet. That upper end of the two-bedroom range is generous by JVC standards, where sub-1,000-square-foot two-beds are common.

All apartments are delivered fully furnished. Cabinet furniture throughout kitchens, bathrooms and wardrobes is supplied by Italian manufacturers including Arrital, Birex and Dall'Agnese, brands that hold 100% Made in Italy certification. Plumbing fixtures and household appliances are from named manufacturers, though Object 1's marketing materials do not specify which brands beyond confirming international quality certification.

The interiors follow a practical zoning logic: open-plan living and dining, a separated bedroom designed for quiet, and bathrooms with shower and toilet arranged for functional use rather than purely visual drama.

Service charges are set at 15 AED per square foot annually.

# Amenities on Site

RA1N's facilities cover the bases expected of a building at this price point. There are multiple pools, including a dedicated children's swimming pool, alongside a children's play area and a broader entertainment zone. Outdoor workout and sports areas occupy part of the building's common space. A BBQ area, parking and retail or commercial premises on site round out the offer.

No spa, hotel-operated services or co-working facilities are listed among the confirmed amenities.

# Distances and Daily Connectivity

Circle Mall is 1.5 kilometres away, around five minutes by car. JSS International School sits 2.6 kilometres out, an eight-minute drive, which matters to the family buyers that RA1N's two-bedroom units are naturally suited to. JVC Community Park is also within five minutes.

Dubai Hills Mall is 17 minutes away. Sufouh Beach, the closest coastal access point, is roughly 17 minutes by car at 12.1 kilometres. The Burj Khalifa district is 22 minutes out, and Dubai International Airport is a 28-minute drive at 31.4 kilometres. Al Maktoum International Airport is not listed in the confirmed proximity data.

For residents working in Dubai Internet City, Dubai Marina or JLT, the commute is short and road options are multiple.

# Who RA1N Suits and Where It Sits in the Market

RA1N is now a secondary-market proposition. Object 1 has sold out the project, so buyers are dealing with resale pricing rather than the developer's original one-bedroom range of approximately AED 1.13 million to AED 1.5 million and two-bedroom range of AED 1.45 million to AED 2.32 million. Those figures serve as a reference point for where units entered the market.

The profile this building suits is specific. End-users relocating from Europe or Asia who want a furnished, move-in-ready apartment in a quieter residential district, with school access and a manageable service charge, will find the specification credible. Investors focused on JVC's rental demand, which has held consistently given the area's affordability relative to Dubai Marina and Downtown, may find the Italian furnishing package a differentiating detail in a competitive leasing market.

It is not a trophy address. It is a considered, completed product in a district that continues to absorb demand from Dubai's expanding professional population.
