Elitz Phase 2 by Danube: Studios to Three-Bedrooms in Jumeirah Village Circle
10% gets you through the door at Elitz Phase 2 by Danube, a two-tower apartment project in Jumeirah Village Circle. Danube Properties broke ground in November 2023 and targets October 2026 for completion. The unit mix runs from compact studios to three-bedroom apartments, covering a broad range of budgets and buyer profiles in a single development.
JVC District 10: Central Dubai with Multiple Exits
JVC sits at the geographic centre of Dubai. From District 10, the commute to Business Bay and Downtown runs around 20 to 30 minutes by car. Dubai Marina is roughly 15 minutes in the other direction. The internal ring structure of JVC gives residents access to several major roads without relying on a single arterial route.
District 10 occupies the inner section of JVC, away from the busier outer perimeter. Residents here get less through-traffic than the arterial edges of the community, with a predominantly residential character. For buyers weighing JVC locations, inner-ring positioning generally means a quieter daily environment while retaining the same road access as the wider community.
AED 650K to AED 2.28M: What the Range Actually Covers
The AED 650,000 to AED 2,283,000 spread is explained by a genuinely diverse unit mix. Studios come in four layout types, from 387 to 784 square feet, all at the AED 650K starting price. That upper studio at 784 square feet is a meaningful size, closer in floor area to some one-bedroom layouts. One-bedroom units start at approximately AED 1.14 million at 754 square feet. Two-bedrooms begin at around AED 1.65 million across five layout types, ranging from 1,065 to 1,245 square feet. Three-bedrooms are available in six layout configurations and price from AED 2.28 million at 1,492 to 1,495 square feet.
The AED 650K entry point targets investors and first-time buyers who want a Dubai apartment without a large initial commitment. The AED 2.28M ceiling serves families who need a full three-bedroom layout in a mid-market price tier.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 55% |
| Handover | 35% |
The 10% down payment is a low entry requirement. The construction phase carries the bulk of the purchase, with 55% paid in instalments while the building progresses. The remaining 35% is due at handover in October 2026. There is no post-handover instalment plan, so the full balance clears on the day keys are issued.
The structure is useful for buyers who want to preserve capital at entry. The heavy construction-phase schedule means consistent outflows from 2024 through to the 2026 handover, and the 35% final payment must be in place on handover day.
Property Mix and Who It Fits
All units are apartments across studios to three-bedrooms. The studio range is wider than typical, with the largest layouts at 784 square feet offering a functional space for a single professional or couple. One-bedroom units at AED 1.14M attract investors with a rental strategy and buyers stepping up from a studio. Two-bedrooms from AED 1.65M suit investors targeting family tenants and owner-occupiers who need a second bedroom. Three-bedroom units at AED 2.28M serve growing families who want a full-sized apartment at a mid-market price.
What Five Amenities Say About the Target Resident
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium |
| Entertainment | Cinema, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Community | Prayer Rooms |
A cinema is an unusual inclusion at this price tier. It signals that Danube is positioning Elitz Phase 2 toward residents who want an on-site social dimension, not just a functional unit. The children's play area and barbecue area reinforce a family and community-living orientation. The gymnasium covers the standard expectation. Prayer rooms serve the expected resident demographic in a UAE project. The amenity set is compact but points clearly toward a resident base of long-term occupiers and working families rather than short-hold investors.
Completion in October 2026
Construction has been running since November 2023. October 2026 puts handover approximately 16 months from now, placing buyers today at roughly the midpoint of the development timeline. For investors, the window allows preparation for tenant placement ahead of handover. For owner-occupiers, late 2026 is the earliest realistic move-in date.
