About Jumeirah Village Circle

Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) is one of Dubai's most established and sought-after mid-market residential communities, master-planned and developed by Nakheel in the early 2000s. Positioned at the geographic centre of Dubai — at the intersection of Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road — JVC offers a unique combination of accessibility, community spirit, and affordability that is difficult to match elsewhere in the emirate.

The community spans approximately 870 hectares and is organised into 26 numbered districts, each with its own parks, jogging tracks, and landscaped open spaces. With over 350 completed residential buildings and several new handovers expected through 2025–2026 from developers including Binghatti, Ellington, and Object 1, JVC continues to evolve while retaining its established community character.

JVC consistently records the highest residential transaction volumes in Dubai — in 2024 it accounted for more than 14% of all residential sales in the emirate. This activity reflects genuine end-user demand from the community's 100,000+ residents representing over 85 nationalities, making it one of the most culturally diverse communities in Dubai.

Al Firouz Real Estate is headquartered inside JVC itself — Office Shop 13, Building AMSA 2 — giving our team genuine on-the-ground knowledge of individual buildings, districts, and community dynamics that no out-of-area agency can replicate.
