Where prices sit
Jumeirah Village Circle transacts at AED 1,250 per sqft in 2026. A standard one-bedroom of around 780 sqft therefore lands near AED 975,000 before fees, with view and floor premiums adding 10–25% at the top of the stack.
Reading the number
Per-sqft is only useful against yield. At 8–9%, Jumeirah Village Circle sits in a healthy band — the mistake buyers make is paying a prime per-sqft price on a unit with a mid-tier view.
