ESSENL1FE Residence

ESSENL1FE Residence is a furnished apartment building by developer Object 1, located in Jumeirah Village Triangle in Dubai's south-western residential belt, with completion scheduled for Q4 2027.

# The building and its position in JVT

Jumeirah Village Triangle is one of Dubai's mid-market residential communities, positioned between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. It attracts families and long-term residents who want low-rise density and green space without the price premium of the coastal districts. ESSENL1FE Residence occupies this setting as a single building, currently at an early stage of construction with just over three percent of work complete at the time of writing.

The development is boutique by Dubai standards. Nine units in total means a small ownership community, which has implications for building management, service-charge culture, and the general noise level of common areas.

Service charges are set at 15 AED per square foot annually, a figure buyers should factor into yield calculations before committing.

# Residences: studios, one-bedrooms and a generous size range

The unit mix comprises studios and one-bedroom apartments. Studios are sized at approximately 484 to 488 square feet, priced from AED 869,748. One-bedroom residences cover considerably more ground, ranging from around 900 square feet up to 1,540 square feet, with pricing from AED 1,392,488 to AED 2,287,331 at the upper end of the range.

That breadth in the one-bedroom category is notable. A 1,540-square-foot one-bedroom is, by Dubai norms, a genuinely large apartment. Buyers who need a dedicated workspace or an oversized living area without committing to a two-bedroom layout will find the upper-tier units worth examining.

All residences are delivered fully furnished, which removes the specification headache for buyers purchasing from overseas and makes the units immediately rentable on completion.

# Fit-out and kitchens

Interiors follow a contemporary scheme with equipped kitchens. Beyond the furnished delivery, the developer's specification details are limited at this stage of construction, so buyers requiring granular finishes information should request the sales pack directly.

# Amenities on site

The building's communal offering is disproportionately substantial for a nine-unit project. A lagoon-style pool and a separate kids' pool anchor the outdoor spaces, alongside an outdoor barbecue area, a kids' play area, a yoga and meditation zone, and a padel court. Inside, there is a cinema and a clubhouse.

The padel court in particular reflects where Dubai's amenity priorities have shifted in the past two or three years. It has become a baseline expectation in new residential projects targeting professionals and younger families.

# Location: JVT's distances and daily practicalities

Arcadia British School sits 0.7 kilometres from the building, which is a relevant detail for families with school-age children making a long-term relocation decision. The JVT Community Park is 1.2 kilometres away.

City Centre Me'aisem, the closest retail destination of scale, is 6.8 kilometres out. Marina Beach is 9.4 kilometres, Downtown Dubai is 25.6 kilometres, and Al Maktoum International Airport is 34.3 kilometres, the latter increasingly relevant as aviation activity migrates south with the expansion of Dubai World Central.

JVT is not a walkable neighbourhood in the European sense. Car dependency is the baseline assumption here, though the highway connections to Al Khail Road make cross-city journeys reasonably efficient.

# Who this project suits, and where it sits in the current market

ESSENL1FE Residence is positioned for two distinct buyer types. The first is the investor purchasing a furnished studio or smaller one-bedroom as a buy-to-let ahead of a 2027 delivery, targeting JVT's established rental demand from professionals and young families priced out of JBR or the Marina. The second is the end-user, particularly a relocating family or individual, drawn by the school proximity, the larger one-bedroom formats, and the on-site amenity depth that a nine-unit building does not usually offer.

The entry price of under AED 870,000 for a furnished studio keeps the project accessible for buyers allocating a portion of a broader portfolio to Dubai. At the upper end, the AED 2.28 million one-bedroom competes against larger apartments in more established addresses, so buyers at that price point should run a direct comparison before committing. The project's early construction stage and Q4 2027 timeline mean capital is committed for a meaningful period, which suits patient investors comfortable with off-plan risk in a pre-completion JVT market.
