Jumeirah Village Circle setting

Jumeirah Village Circle is a freehold master community launched by Nakheel in 2005. The masterplan covers more than 870 hectares and is divided into six districts. Its housing stock includes low- to mid-rise apartment buildings, townhouses and villas, with new construction and district-level services continuing across the community. JVC sits near the junction of Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road and has road connections through Hessa Street. The area is primarily car-oriented. The nearest Dubai Metro Red Line station, R34, is 6,139 metres from central JVC locations, placing regular metro access outside a convenient walking distance.

Road access and Dubai destinations

From Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Marina is 7.3 km away, Palm Jumeirah is 9.3 km away and JBR Beach is 8.0 km away. Mall of the Emirates is 6.9 km from the community. Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa are 17.0 km away, while Dubai Mall is 17.3 km away. Dubai International Airport is 27.0 km away and Al Maktoum International Airport is 18.4 km away. JVC’s entry and exit points to Hessa Street were opened in October 2016 as part of a roads improvement scheme. Travel times by road vary according to traffic and route.

Retail and community context

Circle Mall is a retail development within Jumeirah Village Circle planned with 235 shops, an anchor supermarket, two department stores, a multi-screen cinema, a health clinic, cafés, restaurants and a food court. By July 2020, the mall had topped out and its façade was partly complete. JVC includes a broad mix of existing residential formats and ongoing development, ranging from apartment blocks to townhouses and villas. The wider area includes 367 projects. Manhattan 1 By Sd therefore sits within a large master-planned residential district rather than an isolated standalone neighbourhood.
