Carmel Residence

Overview

Carmel Residence is a low-rise boutique apartment building by Unistate Properties in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC). It offers studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with prices starting at AED 879,000, and it sits opposite a community park in one of Dubai's established residential neighbourhoods.

One point on timing comes first. The project is still listed as under construction, and its scheduled completion date of September 2026 has now passed. We do not describe the building as ready, and this page does not give a new handover date. Please ask us for the current handover status before you decide; we will check it with the developer and tell you what we find.

For buyers looking at JVC apartments for sale with a long post-handover plan, Carmel Residence is worth a close look, because 60% of the price is spread over five years after handover. Since it was launched before completion, it belongs to the off-plan projects Dubai buyers reserve on a payment plan rather than paying in full on transfer.

Location and connectivity

JVC sits between Al Khail Road (E44) and Hessa Street (D61), the two main roads that link the community with the rest of the city. Carmel Residence faces a community park, and a bus stop is a few minutes away. Approximate drive times from the building:

• Circle Community Park: about 2 minutes
• Bus stop: about 3 minutes
• Dubai Miracle Garden: about 10 minutes
• Dubai Butterfly Garden: about 10 minutes
• Mall of the Emirates: about 15 minutes
• Dubai Hills Mall: about 15 minutes
• Global Village: about 15 minutes
• IMG Worlds of Adventure: about 20 minutes
• Dubai International Airport: about 25 minutes

The location works well for households that spend weekends at parks and malls rather than at the beach. Two large malls are within about a quarter of an hour, and the parks on the doorstep give children space to play outdoors in the cooler months.

The residences

The building is designed as a boutique, low-density block, with the focus on generous layouts, natural light and privacy. Kitchens come with appliances installed, central air conditioning is provided, and the apartments are chiller-free, which keeps cooling costs down for owners and tenants. Size ranges and starting prices are:

• Studio: 441 to 744 sq ft, from AED 879,000
• 1 bedroom: 669 to 1,334 sq ft, from AED 1,299,000
• 2 bedroom: 1,196 to 1,628 sq ft, from AED 1,999,000
• 3 bedroom: 1,988 to 2,263 sq ft, from AED 2,999,000

The size ranges are wide. A studio can reach 744 sq ft, which is larger than the smallest one-bedroom unit in the same building. That gives anyone looking for a studio for sale Dubai investors can let easily a real choice, from a compact unit to a much roomier layout. In the same way, a buyer after a 1 bedroom apartment Dubai couples can live in comfortably will find units of up to 1,334 sq ft here.

Selected two-bedroom layouts include balconies, and the three-bedroom homes start close to 2,000 sq ft, which suits families who need a separate room for children or guests. Because sizes vary so much within each type, ask for the exact floor plan of the unit you are offered rather than relying on the type name alone.

About the developer

Carmel Residence is developed by Unistate Properties, a UAE developer established in 1995. If the developer's completed buildings matter to your decision, ask us and we will share the information available, together with the project's registration details.

Pricing and payment plan

Prices start at AED 879,000 for a studio and at AED 2,999,000 for a three-bedroom apartment. The payment plan Dubai buyers are offered here follows a 40/60 structure:

• 40% paid upfront
• 60% paid over 5 years after handover

On the entry studio, the upfront 40% comes to AED 351,600, and the remaining AED 527,400 is spread across the five post-handover years. Other payment options may be available, so ask us which ones are open on the unit you like. Because the scheduled completion date has passed, also ask exactly when the post-handover instalments are due to begin.

Buyer's guide for this project

Anyone who wants to buy property in Dubai with the paperwork in order should run the usual checks, and Carmel Residence needs one extra check because of its timing.

• Handover status: the September 2026 completion date has passed while the project is still listed as under construction, so ask for the current status and any revised date in writing.
• Dubai Land Department fee: 4% of the price, which is AED 35,160 on the AED 879,000 studio.
• Escrow: payments made before completion should go into the project's registered escrow account.
• Contract terms: read what the sales and purchase agreement says about the completion date and late delivery.
• Unit details: confirm the exact size, floor plan and balcony, since sizes vary widely within each type.

Who it suits

Carmel Residence suits buyers who prefer a smaller building to a large tower, and families who want a park opposite the entrance plus a children's pool and play area inside. Investors interested in Dubai property investment in JVC may find the five-year post-handover plan useful, because it spreads most of the cost across years when the unit can be let. Pet owners will also welcome the building's pet policy.

It is less suited to a buyer who needs a firm move-in date right now. If you are new to Dubai real estate and the handover status does not fit your timing, Mahboob Estate can also show you other properties for sale in Dubai with a confirmed completion.
