Legado by Prescott Jumeirah Village Circle Dubai

Legado by Prescott is a 31-storey tower of 343 homes in JVC District 14 — two basements, ground, five podium levels and 26 residential floors. The mix runs studios to 3 BHK plus 2 and 3 BHK sky villas reaching about 4,128 sq ft. Studios start at AED 650,000 (about Rs 1.67 crore) and 1 BHK at AED 875,000, sizes from about 365 to 1,555 sq ft.

Prescott has built in Dubai since 2006 and carries four completed projects on the Dubai Land Department record against six under construction. The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% at handover, with a post-handover version also quoted. Handover is estimated at August 2027 by one source and Q4 2027 by others; this page prints both and works the entry studio through to a total cost.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Only two prices are in print, and only the studio converts to a rate. At about AED 1,781 per sq ft it is roughly a third above JVC's ready-market average of AED 1,337, because the unit is small. In absolute money AED 650,000 undercuts the AED 682,000 JVC studio average.

No source publishes the price of the 2 BHK, 3 BHK or sky villas, which matters for anyone buying to reach the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold: the sky villas are the only units likely to get there and nobody prints their cost. Nearby Floarea Skies starts AED 16,000 higher on a slightly larger studio — the fairest like-for-like in this set.

Payment plan and total cost

The portals quote 20% on booking, 40% through construction and 40% at handover. A second source describes a 60/40 with the same deposit and a post-handover tail running three years past completion. Those are different products; confirm which is on your reservation form.

Add the DLD's Oqood registration and trustee admin fees. JVC service charges run AED 10 to AED 22 per sq ft a year across the 2026 community guides, so a 365 sq ft studio should budget AED 3,700 to AED 8,000 annually. The UAE charges no annual property tax, and a residential sale does not attract VAT. Legado carries 30-plus amenities across three levels, and amenity-heavy towers sit at the upper end of that range.

Location and connectivity

District 14 sits in the eastern half of JVC, between Al Khail Road (E44), Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) and Hessa Street (D61). Circle Mall is inside the community, Mall of the Emirates is a 10 to 15 minute drive, and Dubai Marina, Internet City and Downtown Dubai are each about 20 minutes.

JVC has no Dubai Metro station today. The nearest Red Line station is Mall of the Emirates, about 15 minutes away using the J01 feeder bus, and published plans put a JVC station on the Blue Line around 2029. JVC also carries the heaviest construction pipeline of any established Dubai community, so expect site works on neighbouring plots past your own handover. Compare the community on all Dubai projects we track, or browse projects.

Amenities and specifications

Prescott quotes more than 30 amenities over three levels — the podium, the 14th floor and the 24th floor: a 35-metre infinity pool with sunbathing deck and cabanas, a children's splash park, a children's jogging track, rope climbing, table tennis and meditation decks. Sky villas get private pools and terraces. No appliance or fit-out schedule is published for the standard apartments. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Prescott Real Estate Development was set up in 2006 and builds residential and commercial projects, with a portfolio it values above AED 5 billion and a client base it puts at 4,200 buyers from 35 nationalities. On the DLD record it shows 10 registered projects — four completed, six under construction — and around 385 registered sales in the last twelve months.

The completed list is the Prime series: Prime Residency 3 (292 homes), Prime Views (153 homes), Prime Gardens and Prime Townhouses. That is delivery at a modest scale. Legado, at 343 homes and 31 storeys, is larger than anything on that list, which is the fair question for the sales team: what is the biggest building the company has handed over, and when. Livel Residenza is a much smaller 132-home JVC tower if scale risk worries you.

For Indian buyers

JVC is designated freehold, so an Indian national can own here outright, with the title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department in their own name. No residency, no local partner.

Money leaves India under the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, capped at USD 250,000 per person per financial year. The studio at about USD 177,000 fits inside one year's allowance; a couple has USD 500,000. Neither published price reaches the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold, and the larger units are unpriced, so a visa purchase cannot be planned from public data alone.

JVC recorded a 7.43% gross yield in Q2 2026, the highest of any established Dubai community. A studio at AED 650,000 let at the AED 50,000 a JVC studio commonly fetches is about 7.7% gross, nearer 6.8% after the service charge. There is no UAE property tax and no VAT on a residential purchase; the rent is taxable in India for an Indian resident with no UAE tax to offset. Resale in JVC is liquid but crowded, and a 2027 handover arrives with a large volume of other completions.

Pros

• Studio entry at AED 650,000, below the AED 682,000 JVC studio average
• A developer trading since 2006, with four completed projects on the DLD record and six under construction
• A full mix to 3 BHK plus sky villas, so the building holds families and not only investors
• More than 30 amenities across three levels, including a 35-metre infinity pool
• 40% held back to handover keeps pre-handover cash at 60% of the price

Cons

• The studio is about AED 1,781 per sq ft against a JVC average near AED 1,337 — roughly a third above the district
• Only the studio and 1 BHK are priced publicly; 2 BHK, 3 BHK and the sky villas are not
• Two handover dates on record, August 2027 and Q4 2027, and two payment structures
• No source publishes the DLD project number, the escrow bank or the service charge
• At 343 homes and 31 storeys this is bigger than anything Prescott has completed

Who this is for

• Studio and 1 BHK investors wanting JVC rent at an entry price under the community average
• Families wanting a 2 or 3 BHK in a building with children's amenities on three levels
• Indian buyers funding the purchase inside one LRS year

Who should look elsewhere

• Golden Visa buyers — nothing published here reaches AED 2 million
• Anyone who needs a fixed handover date before booking
• Buyers who will not ask for the 2 and 3 BHK price list before committing

Our verdict

Legado is one of the better-balanced JVC launches in this price band. The developer is neither a first-timer nor a major, the mix is deep enough to hold real residents, and the entry price sits under the community studio average. What you pay for is the amenity deck, and it shows up twice — in the AED 1,781 per sq ft rate, and later in a service charge nobody has published.

Before booking, get three things in writing: which payment structure applies, the SPA completion date against the August 2027 and Q4 2027 dates in circulation, and the projected service charge per sq ft. Then ask for the price list on the larger units.

FAQs

What is the price of Legado by Prescott?

Studios start at AED 650,000 (about Rs 1.67 crore) and 1 BHK at AED 875,000. Prices for the 2 BHK, 3 BHK and sky villas are not published by the sources checked — ask for the full price list.

What is the payment plan?

20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% at handover; one source describes a 60/40 with a post-handover tail over three years. On the AED 650,000 studio that is AED 130,000 down, AED 260,000 in instalments and AED 260,000 at handover, plus AED 26,000 for the 4% DLD transfer fee.

When is the handover?

One source gives August 2027, others Q4 2027. The SPA completion date is what binds; the DLD construction-progress figure on the Dubai REST app shows how far the build has got.

Who is Prescott?

A Dubai developer founded in 2006 with 10 registered DLD projects — four completed, six under construction — and a portfolio it values above AED 5 billion. Its completed buildings are the Prime series: Prime Residency 3, Prime Views, Prime Gardens and Prime Townhouses.

Is it registered with the Dubai Land Department?

It is sold as a DLD-registered off-plan project, but no source checked prints the project number or names the escrow bank. Verify both on the Dubai REST app before paying a booking amount.

What service charge should I expect?

Not published for this building. JVC guides put service charges at AED 10 to AED 22 per sq ft a year, so a 365 sq ft studio should budget AED 3,700 to AED 8,000. A tower with 30-plus amenities usually sits at the upper end.

Does it qualify for a Golden Visa, and can an Indian buyer purchase here?

JVC is freehold and any nationality can own here, title deed in your own name. Neither published price reaches the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold; the sky villas might, but no source prints their price. The studio at about USD 177,000 fits inside one LRS allowance of USD 250,000 a year.

What rental yield is realistic?

JVC recorded 7.43% gross in Q2 2026. A studio at AED 650,000 let at the AED 50,000 a JVC studio commonly fetches is about 7.7% gross and close to 6.8% after the service charge.
