Marquis Galleria

Marquis Galleria is a nine-storey furnished residential building by developer Marquis, located in Arjan, a mid-city district west of Dubai Hills. The project completed in Q4 2024 and is now fully handed over, offering one, two and three-bedroom apartments across a single tower.

# The tower and its position in Arjan

Arjan sits at a practical crossroads in Dubai's residential fabric, positioned between Al Barsha, Dubai Hills Estate and Jumeirah Village Circle. It is not a headline district in the way Downtown or Palm Jumeirah are, but that is partly the point: land costs here support a different scale of residential development, and the neighbourhood has accumulated genuine infrastructure over the past decade. Schools, clinics and retail are embedded, not planned.

Marquis Galleria occupies this context as a mid-rise building, nine storeys in total. The design draws on a gallery concept, with a double-storey lobby, landscaped corridors and a series of gardens woven through the common areas. At street level and across the podium, the project reads as more considered than the typical speculative block that lines Arjan's arterial roads.

Completion at 100 per cent means buyers can inspect what they are purchasing. There is no render gap.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The building offers one, two and three-bedroom configurations. All units are delivered furnished, with neutral stone flooring, full-height glazing and handleless kitchen cabinetry with integrated appliances. Bathrooms feature designer sanitaryware throughout, and each apartment includes an additional half-bath, which matters in day-to-day use more than developers typically acknowledge.

Balconies extend across the full width of the living areas. The three-bedroom units go further, incorporating a private balcony garden and a plunge pool. That specification sits above what the district normally produces.

The service charge is 16 AED per square foot, a figure worth benchmarking against comparable towers in Arjan and JVC before committing.

# Amenities across the building

The amenity list is substantial for a building of this scale. A temperature-controlled swimming pool and a jacuzzi anchor the leisure offer. Beyond these, the building provides a fully equipped gym, private cinema, multi-purpose hall, business lounge, children's play area, baby care room, BBQ area and a laundry room.

The developer references twenty-one gardens across the development. Whether these are formally landscaped or more modest planted areas, the cumulative effect is a podium that prioritises outdoor space over car parking, which is a deliberate planning choice.

# Arjan's connections and daily geography

The immediate vicinity is useful. Dubai Miracle Garden sits 2.2 kilometres away, roughly five minutes by car, and the Australian International School Dubai is reachable in around six minutes. Sufouh Beach requires fifteen minutes on the road, and Downtown Dubai is a 22-minute drive via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

The distances confirm what Arjan's positioning always suggested: it functions well as a base for families and professionals who move around the city by car, but it does not offer the walkability of, say, Dubai Marina or City Walk. That is a trade-off, not a flaw, provided buyers understand it going in.

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

Marquis Galleria is now a completed, fully furnished asset in a district where rental demand from families and mid-market professionals remains steady. For an international buyer seeking a buy-to-let entry point, the furnished specification removes one layer of management complexity, and Arjan's established rental base means voids are less pronounced than in newer, less-serviced districts.

For a buyer relocating to Dubai, the building's scale and amenity depth offer genuine daily utility without the price premium that attaches to branded residences in more prominent postcodes. The three-bedroom units with plunge pools represent the clearest point of differentiation within the building, and likely within the immediate submarket. At 16 AED per square foot in service charges, running costs are a relevant line item in any yield calculation, but not an outlier by Dubai standards.

The project is currently out of stock through JRE's primary channel. Resale and secondary market availability should be confirmed directly with a JRE advisor.
