Kamdar Developments has been investing in Dubai over the last four decades, under the steadfast vision of founder and chairman Yousuf Kamdar. The business has invested in and developed projects across the Middle East, Europe and Africa, and believes that Dubai is a key global city on the real estate map. The developer recently launched 105 Residences in JVC, a community which will be popular over the short term and long into the future.
Investment strength in JVC
Since 2005, Jumeirah Village Circle – commonly known as JVC – has been a popular location of choice for Dubai residents. It's home to a diverse community of single professionals, couples, and families brought together in a sprawling urban landscape punctuated with lush green spaces.
20 years on, JVC is more sought-after than ever, thanks to its continued evolution that is now home to some of the Emirate's most creative property development projects. Talk of oversaturation in the overall Dubai real estate market belies the truth, which is that JVC has seen a sharp increase in purchases from savvy investors over the last 12 months, with Savills data showing a 12% increase in sales and price growth of 11% year-on-year. This is driven by end users looking for an attractive place to live, and investors who see the long-term capital appreciation potential and rock-solid rental yields – average rents increased by 7.79% last year too.
Under the watchful eye of master developer Nakheel and adhering to their high standards for sustainability, JVC only accepts the very best development projects. This has created a consistent flow of new properties to meet the demand of potential homeowners. Our team recently launched 105 Residences in JVC, as we can see the strong current demand and long term potential of the area.
But what's the secret to JVC's prolonged success, and what are clued-up investors looking for and finding in this community? Here are some of the reasons why one of Dubai's most established communities has become the place to be in 2025 and beyond.
A highly connected community
JVC feels like an oasis in the desert. Inspired by Mediterranean locales and with more than 30 expansive landscaped green spaces, the community creates a sense of serenity that feels a million miles from Dubai's fast pace. Thankfully, its location is also incredibly convenient for those who commute to work in places such as the Dubai Financial District, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai Marina, and more. This makes it a hit with professionals who enjoy the speedy connections to their offices. Once residents finish their busy days at work, JVC offers a relaxing environment to rest and recharge.
A diverse day and nighttime scene
There are excellent cafes, restaurants and bars all within the JVC locale. Popular hotel brands, such as the FIVE JVC, attract tourists and residents alike. Plus, there is the world-class Circle Mall, with grocery and retail stores, a range of food and drink options for the whole family and live rooftop music venues. From popular fast food and coffee chains, to gyms, wellness facilities and co-working spaces, JVC has all you need.
Established education
One of the most essential aspects for families is the close proximity of schools and nurseries for their little ones. There are nurseries such as Ladybird, Green Roots and Chubby Cheeks. For older kids, JSS International is located in the community and there are a number of highly-rated KHDA schools within a ten-minute drive such as Gems Founders, Brighton College, and the Dubai Heights Academy, ensuring that children can go from kindergarten to secondary school without having to travel long distances or switch schools every few years.
Nakheel's seal of approval
All property developments within JVC must adhere to Nakheel's strict rules and guidance. This applies to all property types and ensures that every project uses sustainable materials and practices. This means that purchasers can rest assured that everything is built to last. While this may seem like 'a given' for any community, with Nakheel's oversight, there's the added guarantee that houses and apartments are of such a high standard that they can be passed down through generations.
Still highly affordable
Most importantly, JVC is one of the most affordable areas in Dubai compared to similar communities. At the time of writing, prices within our development 105 Residences start from just AED 640,000, while the average property price in JVC is a very attractive AED 922,000.
You'll struggle to find another location in Dubai that offers this type of value for money. And when you consider how well-connected it is to workplaces, schools, sports facilities and more, the appeal of JVC living is clear.
There are always going to be differences of opinion about real estate, but through generational experience at Kamdar Developments, we are highly confident that JVC will not only continue to be popular in 2025 but thrive as a community over its next 20-year chapter.
