Izzzi.LifeMINT

Izzzi.LifeMINT is a completed, fully furnished residential building by developer Orange, located within Jumeirah Village Circle in Dubai. The single low-rise structure holds 15 apartments across studio and one- and two-bedroom configurations, and carries a holiday homes licence that positions it explicitly for short-term rental operation.

# The building and its place in Jumeirah Village Circle

JVC is one of Dubai's more established mid-market communities, a circular master plan built around a network of parks and residential streets roughly equidistant between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Izzzi.LifeMINT sits within this setting as a low-rise building, a format that is notably less common in a district where mid-rise towers have become the default. The project completed in Q4 2026 and is fully built out.

At 15 units, the building is deliberately small in scale. That creates a different ownership dynamic from the larger blocks nearby: fewer residents, a more contained pool of units, and a management proposition that the developer Orange has structured around a named operator, Izzzi, which holds the holiday homes licence and handles rental operations on behalf of owners.

# Residences, layouts and finish

Units range from a 625 sq ft studio priced at approximately AED 1.02 million to a 1,837 sq ft two-bedroom apartment asking AED 2.28 million. The one-bedroom range is the most varied, with floor plans running from roughly 633 sq ft to 950 sq ft and prices spanning AED 1.06 million to AED 1.43 million depending on size and floor position.

All apartments are delivered fully furnished. Kitchens are fitted and equipped. The developer references high-quality materials and modern finishes, though the compact unit count means specification can be inspected directly rather than relied upon through marketing language alone.

Outdoor space is not a consistent feature across all unit types based on available data, though the building's rooftop and pool deck serve as communal outdoor areas for the whole residence.

# Amenities across the building

# Rooftop and communal spaces

The roof carries two distinct uses: a terrace with a BBQ area and a cinema screen. Both are shared across the 15 units, which keeps the experience intimate relative to larger developments where amenity spaces are spread across hundreds of residents.

The pool level includes cabanas, a kids' pool, and a dedicated outdoor workout zone alongside the main swimming pool. Inside, residents have access to a fully equipped gym and a coworking zone, the latter a practical addition given that many short-stay guests and longer-term tenants now expect functional workspace within the building. Concierge services complete the offering.

# Service charges and the financial structure

Orange has structured the service charge terms with an exemption for the first three years of ownership, reverting to AED 15 per sq ft annually thereafter. For a one-bedroom apartment at around 700 sq ft, that translates to approximately AED 10,500 per year once the waiver period expires, a figure worth factoring into any yield modelling.

The holiday homes licence is central to the investment case. Dubai's short-term rental market is regulated under the Department of Economy and Tourism, and licensed operators like Izzzi can list properties on platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com legally. Whether the projected returns materialise depends on occupancy rates in JVC specifically, which buyers should verify against independent data rather than developer projections alone.

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

Izzzi.LifeMINT is a specific product aimed at a specific buyer: someone who wants managed, licensed short-term rental exposure in Dubai without the complexity of self-operating a holiday home. The small unit count and single-operator model give it more in common with a branded serviced residence than a standard freehold apartment block.

For international buyers, particularly those in the UK or Europe who are familiar with managed property funds or buy-to-let structures, the format is legible. The entry point of just over AED 1 million for a furnished studio is accessible relative to comparable branded products in Dubai Marina or Downtown. JVC trades at a discount to those addresses, which is either a limitation or an opportunity depending on a buyer's view of the district's rental demand.

The building is complete and the units are on sale now, which removes construction risk entirely. For a buyer whose primary concern is immediate rental income rather than capital appreciation on a development play, that is a material consideration.
