Belmont Residences

Belmont Residences is a low-rise apartment building by Ellington Properties in Jumeirah Village Triangle, a master-planned residential district in Dubai's mid-city belt. Scheduled for handover in Q4 2024, the project reached 77 per cent construction progress at the time of writing and has since sold out.

# The building and its position in JVT

Ellington drew the Belmont's design language from London's residential architecture: brick-toned facades, considered proportions, classical detail set against a contemporary frame. It is a single building within a community that Nakheel planned around a triangular grid of streets, parks and cycling tracks.

JVT sits in the corridor between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, which means it reads as central to the wider city without the density of Downtown or Dubai Marina. The neighbourhood is low-rise and quiet by Dubai standards. Landscaped parks line most streets, and the area was built with families and long-term residents in mind rather than short-stay turnover.

Belmont itself holds 68 studios and apartments. The count is modest, which keeps the building's footprint and communal areas scaled to residents rather than volume.

# Residences: layouts and specification

Specific floor-plan dimensions and unit-type breakdowns are not publicly disclosed for this project, but the development spans studios through to larger apartment formats across its 68 homes.

Finishes follow Ellington's established specification standard: fitted kitchens, premium material selections throughout, and unfurnished interiors that allow buyers to bring their own programme. The service charge runs at 16 AED per square foot annually, which is a figure worth holding against comparable Ellington projects in JVC and JVT when modelling holding costs.

All residences are unfurnished, a practical point for international buyers who prefer to appoint their own interiors or for investors targeting the long-let market.

# Amenities: what the building offers residents

The amenity list at Belmont is deliberately active and family-facing. A lap pool with sun loungers forms the centrepiece of the outdoor deck. Alongside it, a climbing wall serves both adults and children, which is an unusual specification at this price tier in JVT.

Fitness provision splits across an outdoor fitness area and a dedicated indoor studio. Children's play is covered twice over: an outdoor kids' area and a separate indoor equivalent, useful during Dubai's summer months when outdoor spaces become unusable for much of the day. A yoga area rounds out the offer.

There is no spa, no co-working lounge, and no concierge listed in the confirmed amenities. The building does what it does precisely: active leisure for residents who live here, rather than a hotel-style programme designed to photograph well.

# Location: distances and daily practicality

Sunmarke School sits 400 metres away, a one-minute drive. For families, this is the most significant proximity figure in the development's location data.

The Pavilion at Jumeirah Park, a neighbourhood retail and dining strip, is 4.7 kilometres out (around 11 minutes). Dubai Sports City is 6.1 kilometres away, reachable in eight minutes, relevant for residents who use its facilities regularly. Marina Beach is 10.7 kilometres, 18 minutes by car. The Burj Khalifa district sits 26.9 kilometres away, a 24-minute drive in reasonable traffic. Dubai International Airport is 36 kilometres out, approximately 29 minutes.

The pattern is consistent with JVT's positioning: not walkable to major landmarks, but well-connected by road to most parts of the city within half an hour.

# Who buys Belmont Residences and why

Belmont suits two distinct buyer profiles. The first is the owner-occupier family, typically relocating to Dubai for work, who wants a quiet, low-density address within a short walk of a solid international school and easy highway access to the financial districts along Sheikh Zayed Road. The second is the buy-to-let investor drawn to Ellington's brand consistency, which tends to hold appeal with long-term professional tenants who prioritise finish quality over location prestige.

JVT as a district has matured considerably since Nakheel completed its infrastructure. Vacancy rates have tightened, school-zone demand has held steady, and the mid-market apartment segment here has proved more resilient to short-term sentiment swings than the premium waterfront corridors.

Belmont is sold out at the primary level. For buyers interested in resale entry or assignment opportunities, the 77 per cent construction figure suggests handover is close and secondary market availability, if any, will carry a different pricing basis than the original launch.
