Lume Residences

Lume Residences is a 61-unit apartment building by S and S Development, located in Jumeirah Village Circle and scheduled for completion in June 2027. The project offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, semi-furnished, and is currently under construction at 38 per cent completion.

# The building and its position in JVC

Jumeirah Village Circle sits roughly midway between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, a mid-density residential district that has drawn steady demand from owner-occupiers and yield-focused investors over the past several years. Lume Residences occupies this context as a single building of 61 homes, a deliberately contained scale that keeps the community compact.

The architecture leans into the language of natural light, with floor-to-ceiling glazing across the residential floors. Internally, the palette runs to off-white tones, brushed gold fixtures, and terracotta and burgundy accents, a combination that positions the project closer to boutique hospitality than standard mid-market residential. Custom pendant lighting and Electrolux appliances feature throughout. Laminate wood flooring and bespoke cabinetry complete the specification.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and finish

The unit mix spans three bedroom categories. Studios range from approximately 335 to 383 sq ft, priced from AED 707,777. One-bedroom apartments cover a wider spread, from around 563 sq ft to a generous 1,157 sq ft for the largest configuration, with prices running from AED 951,777 to AED 1,312,777. Two-bedroom homes sit between 1,118 and 1,318 sq ft, priced from AED 1,586,777 to AED 1,714,777.

The breadth within the one-bedroom category is notable. A buyer at 563 sq ft and one at 1,157 sq ft are purchasing meaningfully different products under the same bedroom count, which reflects a mix of entry-level and upsized layouts rather than a single repeatable floor plate.

All units are delivered semi-furnished. The service charge is set at AED 14 per sq ft per year.

# Amenities on site

The communal programme is modest but practical, suited to the building's scale.

# What the podium includes

A swimming pool and fitness area cover the core active requirements. The padel court adds a leisure dimension that has become increasingly standard in mid-premium Dubai residential launches. Communal softer spaces include a clubhouse, lounge seating, a gazebo with a barbecue area, and an outdoor events area, provisions that support day-to-day resident life without overpromising on resort-style excess.

# Location: distances and daily logistics

JVC's circular layout centres on a network of internal roads and green corridors. Roolh Park in JVC sits 1.6 km from the building, offering residents accessible outdoor space within the community itself. Chubby Cheeks Nursery is 0.5 km away, a practical detail for families with young children. Circle Mall, which houses a Miniso among other retail and dining tenants, is 2.8 km distant.

Beyond the immediate neighbourhood, Downtown Dubai is 22.7 km away and Dubai International Airport 37.5 km, both accessible via Al Khail Road. Sufouh Beach lies 13 km to the west. The location lacks a metro connection, so car or ride-hail dependency is a realistic daily consideration for residents.

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

At AED 757,777 to AED 1,714,777, Lume Residences covers the entry-to-mid segment of Dubai's owner-occupier and buy-to-let market. JVC has historically produced gross rental yields above the city average for this asset class, attracting investors from the UK, Europe, and South Asia who are working with sub-AED 2 million budgets and prioritising rental return over capital prestige.

The semi-furnished specification and defined finish quality give the project a clearer identity than the typical shell-and-core JVC release, which matters to tenants and therefore to landlords. For a first Dubai purchase or a portfolio addition below the luxury threshold, the combination of contained unit count, considered interiors, and a June 2027 delivery at 38 per cent construction progress represents a relatively straightforward risk profile.
