Taraf 2 Residence, JVT District 5: A Finished Building at the Mid-Market Entry Point
Taraf Properties built Taraf 2 Residence in Jumeirah Village Triangle's District 5. The project delivers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with prices running from AED 890,000 to AED 1,750,000. Construction started in late 2021 and the scheduled handover was March 2023, meaning this building is almost certainly complete and occupied today. Buyers entering now are buying a finished product, not an off-plan commitment.
JVT District 5: What the Address Means in Practice
Jumeirah Village Triangle sits between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road to the west and Al Khail Road to the east. Both are primary arterials. From District 5, Dubai Marina is roughly 15 minutes by car in normal traffic. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are around 25 to 30 minutes east. Dubai International Airport sits at a comparable distance heading north.
JVT is a low-density residential community built around parks and internal canals. It has been substantially built out for several years, so the infrastructure of daily life, including retail, gyms, cafes, and pharmacies, is already in place. The community draws young professionals, small families, and buy-to-let investors who want more floor space per dirham than Marina or Downtown offers, in exchange for a car-dependent lifestyle.
District 5 sits in JVT's southern quadrant. It is not a peripheral or still-developing sub-district. The area has the characteristics of a functioning residential neighborhood, which matters for buyers planning to occupy rather than immediately rent out.
Reading the Price Spread: AED 890,000 to AED 1,750,000
The pricing divides by bedroom count. One-bedroom apartments start at AED 890,000. Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,750,000. The gap between those two floors is close to 97% in absolute terms.
That is a wide spread. A buyer choosing the two-bedroom is committing nearly twice the capital of the entry-level one-bedroom. The two configurations effectively target different buyer budgets, not just different space needs.
At AED 890,000, the one-bedroom buyer is accessing a completed JVT apartment at a price point that works for both owner-occupiers and investors. At AED 1,750,000, the two-bedroom buyer is paying a significant premium for the additional space. The location fundamentals are identical at both price points; only the unit size and total outlay differ.
One Bedroom or Two: A Single Layout for Each Tier
Every unit in Taraf 2 Residence is an apartment. The project offers two bedroom configurations: one-bedroom and two-bedroom. Each comes in a single floor plan, designated Type A. There are no alternate layouts within each tier.
One-bedrooms suit singles, couples, and investors who want to enter JVT without stretching the budget. Two-bedrooms work for small families and buyers who need a dedicated second room for a home office or guest accommodation. Both unit types sit in the same building with the same community access, which keeps the comparison between them straightforward.
Three Years Past Handover: Off-Plan Risk Is Gone
Taraf Properties broke ground in November 2021. The original scheduled completion was March 2023. Today's date is June 2026, putting the project more than three years beyond its delivery target.
For a buyer entering now, this changes the nature of the purchase entirely. Construction risk has already resolved. The building is finished. A buyer here is acquiring a completed asset in an established JVT sub-district, not placing a bet on future delivery.
