TARAF
A Mediterranean-palette building on Gadaf Park in JVC, with one to three-bedroom apartments, an infinity pool and an indoor-outdoor entertainment zone. Portal-listed from AED 950,000, with completion already listed as past.
The starting price, entry apartment, handover date and payment plan come from the portal listing, not from TARAF, whose project page publishes no prices or dates. The portal lists handover as Q4 2025, which has passed — so treat this as a completed or near-completed building and ask for the title deed and service charge position on the specific unit rather than a launch brochure.
Terrazzo is the quieter of TARAF’s two JVC buildings, and the one with the better address inside the district: it overlooks Gadaf Park rather than a service road. The design language is Mediterranean — warm earthy tones, a natural palette, clean lines and expansive windows — and the developer is explicit that the point is a calm interior behind a busy city rather than a statement facade.
The apartment range is one to three bedrooms, aimed at individuals and families, with panoramic views and layouts that put the living space against the glazing. Outside, the amenity list is longer than Cello’s: an infinity pool, a state-of-the-art gym, a walking track, a dedicated children’s play area, and both an indoor and outdoor entertainment zone alongside a sports zone.
What to weigh. The first question here is not design, it is status. The portal lists handover as Q4 2025, which has passed, which means the building should be complete and registered. That changes everything about the transaction: you are buying a finished apartment, you can inspect it, and you should be asking for the title deed, the current service charge and the actual condition of the unit rather than for a payment plan on a construction site.
If the unit is still developer stock rather than a resale, ask why — unsold inventory a year after completion is a negotiating position, not a warning, but you want to know. If it is a resale, the comparison set is other completed JVC buildings, and the decisive factors are the park frontage, the floor and the service charge.
Second, the price per square foot. At AED 950,000 for a 771 sq ft one-bedroom, Terrazzo works out around AED 1,232 per square foot — which is reasonable for a completed, park-facing building in JVC and considerably easier to justify than an off-plan price in the same district. Ask what the equivalent one-bedrooms in neighbouring buildings are asking and, more importantly, what they are achieving on the rental market.
Third, the amenity cost. An infinity pool, a gym, a walking track, a kids’ play area and two entertainment zones add up on the service charge. Ask for the current per-square-foot rate and the budget behind it before you assume the yield.
Compiled November 2026 from TARAF’s official Terrazzo project page (unit range, location, design and amenities), with the price, entry apartment, handover date and payment plan taken from the portal listing and labelled as such. TARAF publishes no completion date; the portal’s Q4 2025 date should be verified against the title.
TARAF publishes the range — one to three-bedroom apartments — without a type count or a size schedule. The portal listing behind the current price shows a one-bedroom of 771 sq ft at AED 950,000, about AED 1,232 per square foot.
| Type | Published? | Portal-listed entry |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | Yes | 771 sq ft · AED 950,000 |
| 2 bedroom | Yes | Ask for current release |
| 3 bedroom | Yes | Ask for current release |
The developer describes panoramic views as a cornerstone of the design and says every living space is planned for natural light. In practice the view question is simple: Gadaf Park-facing units are worth more than those looking into the neighbouring buildings, so ask for the aspect of the specific apartment and check it on site if the building is complete.
Ask also for the floor plate. In JVC buildings, the difference between a one-bedroom that lets quickly and one that does not is usually the kitchen position and whether the living room gets a window that is not shared with a bedroom.
The plan on the portal listing is 10 / 40 / 50: 10% down, 40% across seven instalments during construction, and 50% on handover.
| Stage | Share | Amount on a AED 950,000 apartment |
|---|---|---|
| On booking | 10% | AED 95,000 |
| During construction | 40% over seven instalments | AED 380,000 |
| On handover | 50% | AED 475,000 |
Because the listed handover date has passed, this plan may no longer describe the live transaction. If the apartment is completed and unsold, the developer may be offering a revised schedule or a discount; if it is a resale, the plan is irrelevant and the deal is price plus 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee and agency commission. Ask which it is before you discuss payment terms.
On a completed unit, the costs that matter are different: the service charge for the current year, any outstanding balance attached to the unit, the condition of the pool and amenity areas, and what the building is actually achieving on rent.
Terrazzo’s amenity list is the fullest of the two JVC buildings:
On a completed building, amenities are an inspection item rather than a promise. Walk the pool deck, the gym and the play area and see how they have held up and who is using them; ask for the maintenance contract and the sinking fund position. An infinity pool is the most expensive item on that list to run, and its condition a year after completion tells you more about the building’s management than the brochure does.
JVC sits between Al Khail Road and Hessa Street, with Dubai Marina roughly twenty minutes away, Dubai Hills fifteen and Downtown around twenty-five in normal traffic. Terrazzo’s specific advantage is that it overlooks Gadaf Park, with Circle Mall and the restaurants at the Five Jumeirah Village hotel within easy reach.
That combination — green frontage, a mall and a hotel food and beverage cluster — is the strongest position in a district where most buildings face each other across a service road. It also means the walk to daily needs is real rather than theoretical, which is what JVC tenants pay for.
The district-wide caveat still applies: JVC is deep in supply, and a completed building competes on rent with everything handed over in the last three years. Look at what one-bedrooms in comparable park-facing buildings achieve per year, and hold that against the price and the service charge before assuming the gross yield you see in an advertisement.

The portal listing shows a one-bedroom of 771 sq ft from AED 950,000, about AED 1,232 per square foot. TARAF publishes no price list.
The portal lists handover as Q4 2025, which has passed, so it should be complete. TARAF has not published a completion date, so verify against the title deed before you commit.
The portal lists 10% down, 40% across seven instalments during construction and 50% on handover, though on a completed building the live transaction may be priced differently.

A completed, park-facing building at around AED 1,232 per square foot is easier to justify than off-plan stock at the same price, and JVC lets consistently. The yield depends on the service charge and on what comparable one-bedrooms actually achieve on rent, so ask for both.
