Vivanti Residences Jumeirah Village Circle Dubai

Vivanti Residences is Meteora Developers' 24-storey tower of about 541 homes in Jumeirah Village Circle, on a plot the developer describes as a 500,000 sq ft built-up development in JVC District 11. It sells studios, 1 and 2 BHK from about 369 to 1,547 sq ft, and the portals carrying it show a starting price of AED 650,000 (about Rs 1.67 crore). The plan is 20/30/10/40 — 20% on booking, 30% during construction, 10% at handover and 40% paid after it.

Two things about this project are unusually well documented and one is not. Meteora announced the launch in July 2025 and held the groundbreaking in December 2025, and the handover on record is September 2028, so the build has a start date and an end date you can hold the developer to. What is not settled is the entry price: the launch figure was AED 600,000, most portals now print AED 650,000, and at least one prints AED 669,000. This page sets all three out, works the entry unit's total cost through to the last dirham, and says where the price sits against what JVC actually trades at.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The three figures are a price list moving, not a contradiction: AED 600,000 was the July 2025 launch number, AED 650,000 is what most portals print now, and AED 669,000 is the top of what we saw. Only the developer's current list says which unit each belongs to. Ask for it by floor and unit number.

On rate, a 369 sq ft studio at AED 650,000 works out near AED 1,760 per sq ft. JVC's district average is quoted between AED 1,364 and AED 1,510 per sq ft in 2026, with ready studios near AED 1,473. So the ask is roughly 20% above ready stock. That premium is normal for an off-plan tower three years from handover in this district, and it is the number to argue with a broker about rather than accept.

Payment plan and total cost

20% on booking, 30% across three construction instalments, 10% at handover, 40% after handover. Only 60% of the price is due before you get the keys, which is the plan's real attraction. Worked on the AED 650,000 entry unit:

The post-handover length is the one number the sources do not give. A 40% tail over two years is about AED 10,800 a month; over three years it is about AED 7,200. The difference decides whether rent covers it, so get the number of months in writing before you book. Service charges in JVC run AED 12 to 18 per sq ft a year, and newer towers with a full amenity deck sit at the top of that band or above it — on a 369 sq ft studio, budget roughly AED 5,500 to 7,400 a year.

Location and connectivity

Jumeirah Village Circle is Dubai's largest mid-market apartment district, sitting between Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. Circle Mall is its centre, Dubai Marina and JLT are about 15 minutes away, Mall of the Emirates and Al Barsha 10 to 15, and Downtown Dubai about 20 in ordinary traffic. Dubai Sports City, Motor City and Al Barsha South are the immediate neighbours.

There is no Dubai Metro station inside JVC, which is the district's standing weakness. District 11 sits on the inner ring, so the drive out to Al Khail Road is short. Expect construction noise in return: JVC carries one of the heaviest tower pipelines in the city and will be a building site in patches for years yet.

For the JVT building on the other side of Al Khail, see Park One, a completed 56-home block from 2018; for a cheaper entry further out, see Albero by ORO24 in Liwan. You can also browse all Dubai projects we track and our full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

The amenity list Meteora publishes is longer than the JVC norm: adults' and children's pools, a gym, a paddle-tennis court, a library, a residents' lounge, a ground-floor co-working space, an outdoor cinema, a pets area, a play area and an event space. A dedicated retail level carries a cafe, a supermarket and a pharmacy, plus a concierge and a doctor-on-call service.

Homes are quoted as smart homes with an air-purification system, fully fitted kitchens with white goods, and electric-vehicle charging in the parking. None of the sources checked publishes the appliance brands, the flooring specification or the parking bays per unit. All of it is marketing copy until it is written into the SPA. Ask for the specification annexure and read it.

About the developer

Meteora Developers was founded in 2022 and is one of the newer names in JVC. Property-data sites associate it with about eight projects registered through itself and its subsidiaries. Its first two launches came in 2023 and, on the company's own account, sold out within days for more than AED 204 million. Its named projects are The East Crest, 7 Park Central, Vita Grande and Park Boulevard, with Vivanti the fifth.

The one delivery data point that matters is The East Crest, a 15-storey JVC tower whose handover Meteora has begun. That is a real completion rather than a promise, and it is the single best question to press: ask when East Crest owners received their keys against the date on their SPA, because a developer four years old has exactly one delivery record and that is it. Treat a 2022-founded developer as a developer with one delivered building, and price the risk accordingly.

For Indian buyers

JVC is a designated freehold area, so an Indian citizen can own here outright and the Dubai Land Department issues the title deed in your own name. There is no residency requirement and no local partner. At AED 650,000, this is about USD 177,000 — comfortably inside one person's Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance of USD 250,000 per financial year, so a single buyer can fund the whole purchase and the fees from one year's allowance without splitting the booking across two people.

The purchase does not clear the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold. A studio at AED 650,000 is a third of the way there, and even the largest 2 BHK in this tower is unlikely to reach it on published rates. If a ten-year residence visa is the point of the purchase, this is the wrong project.

The UAE charges no annual property tax and no yearly municipal levy on the owner, and a residential sale does not attract VAT — your recurring cost is the service charge, nothing else. Rental income earned in Dubai is taxable in India in your hands under the head of house property once you are an Indian resident, and India and the UAE have a double-taxation avoidance agreement, so take the exact treatment from your chartered accountant before you sign. On exit: JVC has real resale depth, but an off-plan unit sells more easily after handover than before, and a 40% post-handover balance transfers with the unit and shrinks your buyer pool until it is cleared.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Only 60% of the price is due before handover, and the 40% tail runs after you have the keys.
• Pro: An entry near AED 650,000 puts a Dubai freehold home inside one LRS allowance with the fees covered.
• Pro: JVC's gross yield was 7.43% in Q2 2026, the highest of any established Dubai community.
• Pro: The build has a documented start — ground broken December 2025 — against a September 2028 handover, which is a long run-in rather than a rushed one.
• Pro: The amenity list, including a paddle-tennis court, a co-working floor and in-building retail, is fuller than most JVC towers of this size.
• Con: About AED 1,760 per sq ft on the entry studio is roughly 20% above JVC's ready studio median of AED 1,473.
• Con: Meteora was founded in 2022 and has begun handover on one building; there is very little delivery history to check.
• Con: Three different entry prices are in print — AED 600,000, 650,000 and 669,000 — and no source says which unit each belongs to.
• Con: The length of the post-handover tail is not published, so the monthly figure could be AED 7,200 or AED 10,800.
• Con: No source prints the DLD project number, the escrow bank or the service charge, and JVC's new towers sit at the top of the AED 12 to 18 per sq ft band.
• Con: A 541-home tower adds heavily to a district already carrying one of Dubai's largest supply pipelines, which caps rent growth.

Who this is for

• First-time Dubai buyers who want a freehold home inside one year's LRS allowance.
• Yield investors buying a studio at JVC's rent depth, who can wait until 2028 for income.
• Buyers who want most of the cost deferred and can fund a 40% balance after handover.

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone buying for a Golden Visa — this price point is nowhere near AED 2 million.
• Buyers who need rental income now; the first rent cheque is three years away.
• Anyone who wants a long delivery record from the developer before committing.
• Buyers who will not accept an unpublished post-handover schedule and an unpublished service charge.

Our verdict

Vivanti is a well-specified tower in the district that gives Dubai its best gross yields, on a plan that keeps 40% of your money in your pocket until after you hold the keys. The price is about 20% above ready JVC studios, the standard off-plan premium over a three-year build. The real risk is not the district or the plan; it is that Meteora is four years old and has handed over one building.

Buy it if you are comfortable pricing that, and buy the studio rather than the larger units, because the studio is where JVC's rent maths works hardest. Before you pay anything, get three things in writing: the exact unit and its price from the current list, the number of months in the post-handover tail, and the DLD project number so you can check the escrow account on the Dubai REST app. Talk to Realty Hunting if you want the current price list and a plan for seeing the site.

FAQs

What is the price of Vivanti Residences?

Most portals carrying the project print a starting price of AED 650,000 (about Rs 1.67 crore). The July 2025 launch figure was AED 600,000 and at least one source prints AED 669,000. Take the figure from the developer's current price list against a specific unit number, since none of the three sources says which unit it is quoting.

What is the payment plan?

20% on booking, 30% across three construction instalments, 10% at handover and 40% after handover. On AED 650,000 that is AED 130,000 down, AED 65,000 per construction instalment, AED 65,000 at handover and AED 260,000 afterwards, plus a 4% DLD transfer fee of AED 26,000. The length of the post-handover tail is not published — ask for it in months.

When is the handover?

September 2028, which is Q3 2028. Meteora launched the project in July 2025 and broke ground in December 2025, so there is a documented construction start against that date. Track progress on the Dubai REST app rather than on marketing updates.

Who is Meteora Developers?

A Dubai developer founded in 2022, associated with about eight registered projects through itself and its subsidiaries. Its named projects are The East Crest, 7 Park Central, Vita Grande, Park Boulevard and Vivanti. It has begun handover of The East Crest, a 15-storey JVC tower, which is its only delivery record so far.

Is it registered with the Dubai Land Department?

It is sold as a registered off-plan project, but none of the sources we checked prints the DLD project number or names the escrow bank. Verify both on the Dubai REST app before paying a booking amount, and pay only into the project's escrow account.

What service charge should I budget?

JVC service charges run about AED 12 to 18 per sq ft a year, and newer towers with a full amenity deck sit at or above the top of that band. On a 369 sq ft studio that is roughly AED 5,500 to 7,400 a year. Vivanti's own rate has not been set, so treat this as an estimate.

What rental yield does JVC give?

JVC recorded a 7.43% gross yield in Q2 2026, the highest of any established Dubai community, with studios at the strong end of that range. After service charges of AED 12 to 18 per sq ft, a realistic net on a studio here is in the 5 to 6% region.

Can an Indian citizen buy, and does it qualify for a Golden Visa?

Yes. JVC is designated freehold and open to any nationality, with the title deed issued in your own name. At about USD 177,000 the purchase fits inside one person's USD 250,000 annual LRS allowance. It does not qualify for the Golden Visa, which needs AED 2 million of property.

How big are the homes?

About 369 to 1,547 sq ft across studios, 1 and 2 BHK, in a 24-storey tower of roughly 541 homes on a 500,000 sq ft built-up development. Some portals also list 3 BHK and unit counts of 550 or 580, so confirm the mix against the approved floor plans.
