James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“There are too few recent sales in South Residences for me to quote a return. I would price it from the last sale of the same layout, and I would not pay more for a promise.”

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 19 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

TypeResale: soldRent a year
Studio– (0)– (1)
1-bedunder 5 (2)– (0)
2-bedunder 5 (2)– (0)

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (5 of 24 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (5); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

Too few resale sales to state a yearly change

4 resale sales in the last 12 months and 9 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.

Parking and driving at South Residences

Parking

Too few adverts for this building give a number of parking spaces (28 adverts read). Ask the seller or the developer how many spaces come with the home.

  • Covered parking: 27 of 28 adverts say so.
  • Visitor parking: no advert mentions it (28 read).
  • Spaces in the building: 179, from the published building details.
  • Street parking: paid street parking in JVC costs AED 4 an hour from 8am to 5pm and AED 6 an hour from 5pm to midnight. Zones and rules.

Source: adverts for homes in this building, read 6 to 11 Oct 2026. An advert describes one home, not the building. Parking in every JVC building.

Driving out of JVC

3.6 minutes to the nearest way out of JVC on an empty road: the Al Khail Road exit (west), 2.4 km by road. That is in the farthest third of JVC buildings (place 604 of 722; 1 is nearest). The nearest way in is the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road entrance (south-west), 3.6 minutes.

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 19 Jan 2020 to 19 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (Building guide from live adverts (facts and resident opinions; rewrite in your own words; cite as "live adverts")., dubricks.com, live adverts: community guide, propertystellar.com), read by an AI model on 21 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit.
