Oak Yard

Oak Yard is a boutique residential building by developer Yard, located in Jumeirah Village Circle and scheduled for completion in Q4 2026. The project comprises 45 furnished apartments across a single mid-rise tower, with one- and two-bedroom units alongside a small number of significantly larger residences.

# The tower and its position in Jumeirah Village Circle

JVC sits in the interior of new Dubai, roughly equidistant between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, two of the city's principal arterial routes. The district is built around a dense network of small parks and low-rise streets, giving it a quieter, more horizontal character than the tower clusters of Business Bay or JLT.

Oak Yard occupies a single building within this setting. At approximately 9.6% construction progress as of current reporting, the structure is in its early stages, with handover set for the final quarter of 2026. Yard's design approach centres on the integration of greenery into the facade and internal layout, drawing on natural materials rather than the polished stone and glass finishes that dominate comparable projects in the area.

The scale is deliberately limited. Forty-five units across one building produces a density more typical of a private residential block than a large-scale development.

# Residences, layouts and specification

Units range from 662 sq ft to just over 5,645 sq ft, which reflects a substantial gap between the standard one- and two-bedroom apartments and the largest available residence. One-bedroom apartments start at 662.94 sq ft and are priced from AED 1,133,058, rising to AED 1,492,577 for larger configurations of up to 962 sq ft.

Two-bedroom apartments in the standard range run from 1,021 to 1,246 sq ft, priced between AED 1,680,218 and AED 1,942,357. The project also lists a small number of substantially larger two-bedroom units, spanning 5,616 to 5,645 sq ft, priced at approximately AED 7,000,000. These are a different category of residence entirely, likely penthouse or duplex formats, though buyers should confirm exact configuration directly.

All units are delivered furnished and fitted, with kitchens equipped and built-in furniture included as standard. Each apartment includes private terrace space, a smart home system, and the developer specifies improved sound insulation and air purification as part of the standard fit-out. The service charge is set at 16 AED per sq ft annually.

# Amenities within the building

The building's shared facilities are modest and focused. There is a swimming pool, a gym, and designated fitness zones. A coworking centre provides a working space for residents who do not commute daily. A children's room and storage facilities complete the list.

The amenity package is narrower than many comparable JVC projects, which typically run to longer lists of leisure facilities. What Oak Yard trades in breadth, it partly offsets with the surrounding district, which has extensive public park space and established community infrastructure within walking distance.

# Access to the broader city and the immediate neighbourhood

Remram Community Park sits 450 metres from the building, making it directly walkable. Kids World Nursery JVC is 800 metres away, and Miniso Circle Mall is 1.5 km. These distances place Oak Yard in the more residential, family-oriented quadrant of JVC rather than its commercial fringe.

Sufouh Beach is 10.3 km by road, Downtown Dubai 19.4 km, and Dubai International Airport 30.5 km. None of these are particularly close, but the Al Khail Road access that JVC residents typically use keeps journey times to central locations manageable outside peak hours.

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

The pricing structure positions Oak Yard in the middle segment of the JVC market. At AED 1.1 million for entry-level stock, the project is accessible to buyers working within a budget that rules out waterfront addresses in Dubai Marina or the newer premium inventory along the Creek. The furnished delivery and relatively compact service charge make the numbers legible for investors targeting the rental market, where JVC has historically shown consistent occupancy driven by the district's appeal to young professionals and families.

For owner-occupiers, the project's character, a small building, green-focused design philosophy, terraces, and proximity to parks, is more relevant than its specification sheet. Buyers prioritising anonymity, low density, and a residential rather than resort atmosphere will find the format more appealing than those seeking an address with skyline recognition. The Q4 2026 completion date means capital is committed for a reasonable period, which suits buyers comfortable with new-build timelines rather than those requiring immediate occupation.
