Norah Residence: Wide Format Choice, Low Barrier to Entry
Al Tareq Star Development is bringing Norah Residence to District 14 of Jumeirah Village Circle. Construction started in October 2025, with handover scheduled for June 2027. Off-plan buyers entering now are in the active construction phase with the largest payment due at the end.
Understanding the payment structure first helps frame everything else. The entry point is 10% down. The remaining 90% splits into 30% during construction and 60% at handover. The low initial outlay helps buyers get in early, but the large back-end tranche requires clear planning before commitment.
District 14, Jumeirah Village Circle
JVC sits roughly at the geographic midpoint of Dubai's western corridor. District 14 occupies the inner zone of the community, away from the main arterial boundaries. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road provides primary access, connecting residents to Dubai Marina in around 20 minutes and to Business Bay or Downtown in roughly 25 to 30 minutes under typical traffic conditions.
JVC has established retail, dining, and service options distributed through the community. The mixed residential format, with apartments alongside villas and townhouses, gives the area a lower-density feel than purely tower-based districts.
What AED 650K to AED 3M Covers
The price range runs from AED 650,000 to AED 3,000,000. That spread reflects a genuine mix of product types, not size variation within a single format.
Studios start at AED 650,000 in layouts from 382 to 411 sq ft. One-bedroom apartments follow from AED 1,100,000, with sizes between 673 and 889 sq ft across a wide range of plan variants. Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,750,000, ranging from 1,075 to 1,251 sq ft.
The duplex formats sit above that price line. Two-bedroom duplexes begin at AED 2,200,000 in sizes from 1,436 to 1,674 sq ft. Three-bedroom duplexes reach AED 3,000,000 with layouts between 2,032 and 2,731 sq ft.
A buyer at the low end is most likely a first-time purchaser or a yield-focused investor looking for a compact unit. At AED 3M, you are looking at a family buyer or an investor targeting the larger duplex format. The product mix spans these groups with limited overlap between them.
Apartments and Duplexes
One and two-bedroom apartments target single professionals, couples, and buy-to-let investors. The range of plan variants within each bedroom count gives buyers flexibility on size without shifting the price point.
The duplexes serve a different buyer entirely. A two-storey 2BR at around 1,500 sq ft gives more practical floor area than a standard apartment with the same bedroom count. The 3BR duplexes above 2,000 sq ft offer genuine family-scale living at this price point.
What the Amenity Set Says
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
An indoor swimming pool provides year-round usability, a practical advantage in Dubai's climate where summer heat restricts outdoor pool access for several months. The on-site restaurants indicate the developer is building a self-contained environment rather than one that relies on the surrounding district for everyday needs. Together, the amenity set targets residents who prioritise convenience within the building.
June 2027: The Off-Plan Window
Construction broke ground in October 2025 and runs to June 2027, roughly a 20-month build window. Buyers entering now are mid-construction, with instalment payments accruing against that schedule.
For end-users, a June 2027 handover means a realistic move-in in the second half of 2027. For investors, the leasing or resale decision follows handover without a long waiting gap.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 30% |
| At handover | 60% |
A 10% down payment is a low initial outlay for an off-plan purchase in this price range. The significant constraint is the 60% due at handover. There is no post-handover instalment plan, so buyers need their financing or cash position arranged before June 2027. Buyers using mortgage finance need their loan in place well ahead of that date.
