Gardenia Residency

Gardenia Residency is a completed apartment building by Shaikhani Group, situated within Jumeirah Village Circle in Dubai's mid-city residential corridor. The project delivered in Q2 2024 and is now fully handed over, with residences offered on a semi-furnished basis at a service charge of 9 AED per square foot.

# The building and its position in Jumeirah Village Circle

Jumeirah Village Circle occupies roughly 8 square kilometres between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, a location that places it equidistant from several of Dubai's major employment and leisure anchors. The district was master-planned by Nakheel and has matured steadily over the past decade, attracting mid-rise residential projects alongside retail and hospitality uses.

Gardenia Residency sits within this fabric as a single building. Construction is complete and the project is fully built out, which removes the execution risk that accompanies off-plan commitments elsewhere in the city. For buyers who want a finished asset in a functioning community, that distinction carries practical weight.

# Residences, semi-furnished specification and private outdoor space

The building delivers a range of apartments across studio, one, two, and three-bedroom configurations. Each residence comes semi-furnished, meaning core furniture and fittings are included without foreclosing the owner's ability to personalise the space.

Kitchens arrive fully equipped. Interiors carry a quality specification consistent with Shaikhani Group's positioning in the mid-to-premium residential segment within JVC.

Private gardens and terraces form part of the offering for select residences, providing outdoor space that is increasingly valued by buyers transitioning from villa living or relocating from European markets where outdoor areas are expected rather than exceptional.

# On-site amenities

The building's amenity deck covers the fundamentals that long-term residents and tenants prioritise: a swimming pool, gymnasium, spa, sauna, and jacuzzi. The inclusion of a retail arcade and lifestyle boutiques with cafes within the building means daily errands and casual dining can be handled without leaving the premises.

Private gardens and terraces supplement the communal facilities, giving residents a quieter alternative to shared pool decks.

# Connections to the wider city

Samer Park JVC is roughly three minutes by car, providing an immediate green outlet within the district. JSS International School sits approximately two kilometres away, a five-minute drive, which places Gardenia Residency within a sensible radius for families with school-age children. Circle Mall, the district's primary retail anchor, is six minutes away.

For broader city access: Downtown Dubai is 27 minutes by car across 23 kilometres, Sufouh Beach is 26 minutes, and Al Maktoum International Airport, which anchors the southern expansion of Dubai, is 29 minutes. That airport connection will become more consequential as Dubai South develops and Emirates relocates its hub operations to Al Maktoum in the years ahead.

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

Gardenia Residency occupies a practical position in the JVC market: a completed, semi-furnished building with a full amenity set, a service charge of 9 AED per square foot, and proximity to a functioning school, retail, and parks. JVC has historically posted some of Dubai's stronger gross rental yields, making the district a recurring choice for investors targeting residential income rather than speculative capital growth.

The building is currently listed as out of stock through the primary market, meaning any acquisition would proceed through resale. For buyers who have tracked the project during its development phase or who are consolidating a Dubai portfolio with a completed, income-capable asset, that is the relevant entry point.
