LIV Residence

LIV Residence is a completed residential tower in Jumeirah Beach Residence, delivered by developer LIV in Q1 2020 and designed by NAGA Architects with interiors by MWM Studio. Furnished and fully handed over, it sits within one of Dubai's most established waterfront addresses.

# The tower and its position in JBR

JBR is a rare district in Dubai: genuinely walkable, consistently in demand, and built around a promenade rather than a car park. Within it, LIV Residence occupies a position that takes direct advantage of the orientation toward Dubai Marina's canal and the open Gulf beyond.

The building's architecture is defined by full-height glazing and private terraces on individual units, a composition that NAGA calibrated to capture marina and sea views rather than treat them as incidental. At street level, the promenade interface connects residents to the retail and dining strip without requiring them to drive anywhere.

Scale is restrained relative to some of JBR's larger blocks. A single building, single-tower footprint keeps the resident count tight, which is reflected in the service charge of 23 AED per square foot, a figure that funds a meaningful amenity package rather than a sprawling complex.

# Residences: layout, finish and outdoor space

The available unit configuration on record is a two-bedroom apartment of 1,321 sq ft, priced at AED 3,999,548. That footprint is generous for a two-bedroom product in this corridor, where comparable buildings frequently deliver the same bedroom count in under 1,100 sq ft.

MWM Studio's interior scheme draws on natural timber, quartz island counters, textured porcelain tiles, and European kitchen cabinetry with upgraded appliances. The language is closer to considered hospitality design than to the developer-grade finishes that characterise much of the surrounding stock. Bathrooms feature natural stone, back-lit lighting, walk-in showers and deep baths, a specification that holds up well against newer launches in the area.

Each apartment is furnished, which for an investor removes a procurement step and for an owner-occupier means the unit is move-in ready.

The private terraces are a structural feature, not an afterthought. Full-height glazing means the boundary between interior and outdoor space reads as a continuous plane rather than a punctuation point.

# Amenities: what the building actually offers

The amenity deck centres on an infinity pool and terrace at level one, oriented toward Dubai Marina. A gymnasium overlooks the pool, exclusive to residents. Separate spa facilities for men and women include sauna and steam rooms.

Families are accommodated through both indoor and outdoor children's play areas. Landscaped gardens run through the ground level. The overall offering is self-contained enough that a resident can move through most of a leisure-oriented day without leaving the building.

# Location: distances that matter for daily life

Dubai Marina Mall sits 1.8 km away, reachable in around six minutes by car. Marina Beach is 2.9 km and 11 minutes. Jumeirah International Nurseries is 2.8 km, also around 11 minutes, which is a practical figure for families managing school runs.

Downtown Dubai is 22.3 km and approximately 21 minutes via Sheikh Zayed Road under normal conditions. Dubai International Airport is 32.5 km and roughly 25 minutes, a commute that many international buyers travelling frequently between Dubai and Europe or Asia will find workable rather than punishing.

The JBR tram connects to the Dubai Metro at Jumeirah Lakes Towers station, which adds a non-driving option to the daily commute toolkit.

# Where LIV Residence sits for a buyer evaluating the waterfront market

Completed stock in JBR trades at a premium to off-plan precisely because the risk has been removed. LIV Residence delivered in Q1 2020, which means it has a performance record as a rental asset and a condition that can be inspected rather than imagined from a brochure.

For a European or GCC buyer seeking a furnished, income-generating apartment in a district with sustained rental demand, the combination of specification, promenade position and manageable unit size addresses a fairly specific brief. It is not a large-format penthouse play, nor a bulk-buy investor product. A 1,321 sq ft two-bedroom in this location targets the owner-occupier who splits time between Dubai and another city, or the buyer seeking a single, well-specified asset rather than a portfolio entry point.

The project is currently listed as out of stock through JRE, but remains a useful market reference for buyers benchmarking finished product against active off-plan launches in Dubai Marina and JBR.
