Ellington Belgravia Jumeirah Village Circle Dubai

Ellington Belgravia was Ellington Properties' first Dubai building: 181 homes over four floors in Jumeirah Village Circle, launched 2015 and delivered ahead of schedule in 2017. One-bedroom homes ask AED 820,000 to AED 1,150,828 (about Rs 2.11 crore at the entry); two-bedroom homes average about AED 1,630,000.

This is the one building here where you can check both halves of the yield sum. One-bedroom homes let for AED 70,000 to AED 110,000 a year, and at AED 820,000 over about 970 sq ft the entry works out near AED 845 per sq ft against a JVC average of AED 1,337. The number nobody publishes is the service charge, and it decides whether the return is 8.5% or closer to 6%.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

These are live asks on a completed building, not launch figures — what you negotiate against.

Listings at AED 890,000, AED 899,999, AED 950,000 and AED 1,029,500 fill the middle of that band. One caution on sizes: the building guide gives one-bedroom homes from 970 sq ft while listings show 758 to 942. The title deed settles it, and it moves the rate per sq ft by about a fifth.

JVC apartments averaged AED 1,337 per sq ft on the ready market in September 2026, and 2014-to-2018 stock trades at AED 900 to AED 1,050. At about AED 845 the entry sits below even that older band, roughly 37% under the community average — not a mispricing so much as what a 2017 building with large floor plates is worth.

Payment plan and total cost

There is no developer payment plan. The building was delivered in 2017, so a purchase is a resale in cash or on a UAE mortgage, and non-residents are generally lent 50% to 60% of value.

The UAE charges no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale. The running cost is the service charge, and it is the gap here: no source publishes this building's rate. A sibling Ellington building, Belgravia Gardens, is quoted at AED 15 per sq ft a year — about AED 14,550 on 970 sq ft, enough to move the net yield two points. Ask for this building's own DLD record.

Location and connectivity

Belgravia sits in the older, built-out part of Jumeirah Village Circle, with finished streets around it rather than active construction. Circle Mall is inside the community, Mall of the Emirates 10 to 15 minutes by road, Dubai Marina about 15, Downtown Dubai about 20.

JVC has no Dubai Metro station of its own, so this is a car community; the nearest stations sit on Sheikh Zayed Road. One practical note: several buildings carry the Belgravia name — Belgravia 2 and 3, Belgravia Heights I and II, Belgravia Square and Belgravia Gardens — so confirm which one a listing means before you view.

Amenities and specifications

The building carries a pool, a fitted gym, a children's playground, a planted garden, a barbecue area, basement parking, 24-hour security, lifts and concierge service. At four floors and 181 homes those facilities serve few residents, which shows.

The design is by Anarchitect, unusual for JVC and part of why Ellington's early work holds its price. Some sources describe the homes as furnished, which is not confirmed for every unit. On a nine-year-old building the specification sheet matters less than the condition: check the kitchen, the bathrooms and the air-conditioning, which are what come due on an owner at this age.

About the developer

Ellington Properties builds design-led mid-rise residential in Dubai, and Belgravia was its first project — launched 2015, handed over early in 2017. That delivery is the first line of a record that has stayed clean since.

The firm has delivered Berkeley Place in MBR City (127 apartments), Eaton Palace in JVC (110 homes) and Ellington House in Dubai Hills Estate, and in May 2026 began handing over Ellington House II and Arbor View in Arjan. It reports 96% occupancy across delivered projects, with no significant delays reported. For a buyer weighing a nine-year-old building, that record tells you how the first one was built.

For Indian buyers

JVC is a designated freehold area, so an Indian national — or any foreign national — holds the title deed outright, with no local partner and no residence visa needed. The Dubai Land Department issues the deed in your own name at a registration trustee office.

Money moves under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme: USD 250,000 per person per financial year, so a couple can remit USD 500,000. At about USD 223,000 the entry fits inside a single allowance, with roughly AED 55,500 of transfer costs alongside. A completed building also allows a UAE mortgage at 50% to 60% of value.

On the Golden Visa: nothing here appears to reach the AED 2 million threshold on current asks, so if a visa is the point of the purchase this is the wrong building. There is no UAE tax on the property or the rent; an Indian tax resident declares both in India and can claim treaty credit.

The yield case is the reason to be here. One-bedroom homes let for AED 70,000 to AED 110,000 a year: about 8.5% gross at the AED 820,000 entry and the bottom of the rent band, about 6.6% at the AED 1,060,000 average ask. JVC returned 7.43% gross in Q2 2026, so this building can beat its community — provided the service charge is not the AED 15 per sq ft a sibling carries. See all Dubai projects we track, and compare the rate with AED 1,665 at Binghatti Tulip or the furnished off-plan pricing at Elitz 3 by Danube.

Pros

• About AED 845 per sq ft at the entry ask — roughly 37% below JVC's AED 1,337 average
• Real rents to work from: AED 70,000 to AED 110,000 a year on one-bedroom homes
• Large floor plates for JVC — one-bedroom homes from 970 sq ft, where new launches nearby start near 300
• Delivered ahead of schedule by a developer with a clean record since
• Four floors and 181 homes, so the pool, gym and garden serve few residents

Cons

• Nine years old, so kitchens, bathrooms and air-conditioning are at replacement age
• No published service charge; a sibling Ellington building is quoted at AED 15 per sq ft — about AED 14,550 a year on 970 sq ft
• Sources disagree on one-bedroom sizes: 970 sq ft on the building guide, 758 to 942 on listings
• Nothing appears to reach the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold on current asks

Who this is for

• Yield investors — an AED 820,000 entry against AED 70,000 to AED 110,000 rents
• End users who want space, not a new facade
• Buyers who want a completed, design-led building from a clean-record developer
• Anyone buying with a UAE mortgage, which needs a completed property

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want a new building; this will need renewal spending
• Golden Visa applicants — nothing reaches AED 2 million on current asks
• Investors unable to budget for an unpublished service charge
• Anyone wanting a developer plan or a post-handover tail

Our verdict

The best yield case here, and the only one where both price and rent are checkable. Buy it if you want space and income rather than a new facade, and can live with a nine-year-old building that will need renewal spending. Get the service-charge record, the deed size and the tenancy contract first — the service charge decides whether the yield is 8.5% or closer to 6%.
