Oakley Square Residences

Oakley Square Residences is a completed low-rise development by Ellington Properties in Jumeirah Village Circle, comprising 114 apartments across a single building. Studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations make up the inventory, delivered semi-furnished and handed over at the end of 2023.

# The building and its position in JVC

Jumeirah Village Circle sits roughly equidistant between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, which places it within practical reach of the rest of the city without the density of Downtown or the premium land costs of the waterfront districts. The neighbourhood has matured steadily over the past decade, moving from a patchwork of construction sites to a recognisably residential quarter with a functioning retail and school infrastructure.

Oakley Square occupies a single building within that setting. At 114 units, it is modest in scale by Dubai standards, which generally translates to quieter common areas and a more manageable residents' community. Ellington built its reputation on design-forward mid-market projects, and the architectural language here leans contemporary without being ostentatious.

# Residences: layouts, scale and finish

Studios run from 494 to 538 square feet. One-bedroom apartments range from 661 to just over 1,019 square feet, a span wide enough to include meaningfully different configurations. Two-bedroom units extend from 1,016 to 1,518 square feet.

The semi-furnished specification covers the essentials without locking buyers into a fixed interior scheme, which suits investors who intend to lease and owner-occupiers who prefer to finish the space on their own terms. Floor-to-ceiling glazing features across the building, consistent with Ellington's standard approach to natural light. Finishes use neutral tones and open-plan living and dining arrangements.

# Amenities and shared facilities

The amenity deck covers the practical and the leisure-oriented in reasonable proportion for a building of this size. A pool with cabanas and a shaded children's pool sit alongside a padel court, a fitness area, an outdoor terrace with lounge seating, and a cinema room. Landscaped green zones and an outdoor children's play area complete the picture.

The service charge runs at 14 AED per square foot annually, a figure buyers should factor into yield projections when the building changes hands on the secondary market.

# Location: distances and daily practicalities

Circle Mall JVC is 1.3 kilometres away, a five-minute drive for groceries, dining and everyday retail. JSS International School lies 1.7 kilometres out, also reachable in around five minutes, which matters to families calibrating school runs. The nearest community park is just 0.8 kilometres from the building.

For wider city access: Sufouh Beach is 14 minutes by car, and Downtown Dubai is approximately 22 minutes along Al Khail Road. Neither is a commute that would deter buyers accustomed to driving cities of this scale.

# Who Oakley Square suits, and where it sits in the market

With the building fully handed over and stock currently sold out, Oakley Square is a secondary-market proposition. That positions it for buyers seeking a completed Ellington asset in JVC rather than an off-plan commitment with a construction timeline attached.

JVC consistently records some of Dubai's higher gross rental yields across the mid-market segment, driven by strong demand from professionals and small families who want proximity to the city's commercial corridors without paying Marina or Downtown pricing. A semi-furnished two-bedroom in a delivered building by a recognised developer is a straightforward proposition for that tenant pool. For European or Asian buyers structuring a first Dubai investment, the combination of completed status, established management infrastructure and a low-friction neighbourhood makes the calculus relatively clean.
