ESSENL1FE

About ESSENL1FE

ESSENL1FE is Object 1’s largest and most family-oriented building in Jumeirah Village Triangle: a 28-storey tower whose marketing talks about purpose, harmony and the “essence of life”, and whose practical appeal is that it goes up to three bedrooms in a district that mostly sells small units. Studios, one, 1.5, two, 2.5 and three-bedroom layouts are listed by the developer; the portal prices the studio, one, two and three.

What is for sale. The four priced units form a clear ladder: a 435 sq ft studio at AED 752,000 (AED 1,729 per square foot), a 793 sq ft one-bedroom at AED 1,212,000 (AED 1,528), a 1,241 sq ft two-bedroom at AED 1,705,000 (AED 1,374) and a 1,525 sq ft three-bedroom at AED 2,276,000 (AED 1,492). The rate falls almost monotonically as the unit grows, which is normal — but the three-bedroom ticking back up above the two-bedroom is worth noting. It usually means the developer expects the family layout to be scarce and is pricing it accordingly.

The three-bedroom is the story. JVT rents overwhelmingly to families, and a three-bedroom in a new tower with a pool and gym is a genuinely different product from the studios that dominate the new supply around it. It is also the hardest unit to sell on: at AED 2.276 million the buyer pool narrows to families and long-hold investors, and the comparison set becomes townhouses inside JVT rather than flats. Ask what a comparable three-bedroom townhouse costs a street away before you commit — you may find you are choosing between a tower and a garden.

Timing and delivery. Q4 2027 gives you just over a year of construction to watch, and Object 1 publishes construction updates across its portfolio. The risk profile is standard for this developer: no completed ESSENL1FE to inspect, but two other completed or nearly completed buildings in the same district to judge finish quality by.

The honest read. The most flexible building on this page and the one with the clearest family case. Its weakness is the top end: a three-bedroom apartment in JVT competes with townhouses, and the buyer who wins that comparison will want a garden. If you are buying a studio or one-bedroom here you are buying the same product as half of JVC; if you are buying the three-bedroom you are buying something rarer and slower to sell.

Compiled November 2026 from Object 1’s own ESSENL1FE project page (unit types including three-bedroom, amenity list, area description) and the listing portal’s record and description (priced floor plans, 28 storeys, handover). The two sources disagree on whether three-bedroom units exist in this building; both are reported above. The portal’s price records for this developer were last refreshed between July and November 2025, so every figure on this page is at least a year old by publication. Treat it as the shape of the pricing, not today’s price list. Not a valuation.

Layouts, sizes and price

Four unit types priced, which is rare in this portfolio:

The ladder is informative in both directions. At the bottom, a 435 sq ft studio at AED 1,729 per square foot is a high rate for JVT and a small unit for the money — the same budget buys a one-bedroom in a completed tower nearby. At the top, the three-bedroom at AED 1,492 per foot is priced above the two-bedroom, which tells you the developer is not discounting family units to move them.

Ask for the square footage of the 1.5, 2.5 and three-bedroom layouts as built, and whether the three-bedroom exists on every floor or only in a stack. In a 28-storey tower a rare layout is usually a corner, and corners behave differently at resale.

Price and payment plan

No payment plan is published for ESSENL1FE, on the portal or in text on the developer’s page. Ask for the reservation schedule before you pay anything.

Budget about AED 797,000 all-in on the studio before legal and finance costs. On a Q4 2027 build, look hard at how much is due before completion: a plan that asks for two-thirds during construction is a bet on the developer, not on the building. Ask for the milestone structure — instalments tied to construction progress give you more protection than instalments tied to calendar dates.

Amenities

The developer gives the standard Object 1 set — lobby, pool, children’s play room, outdoor lounge, BBQ area, clubhouse, pool deck and gym. The portal’s list is fuller and includes a cinema, spa and sauna, yoga and meditation areas, restaurant and retail outlets, parking and 24/7 surveillance.

For a 28-storey building with studios through three-bedrooms, that is a fair amenity offer rather than a spectacular one: the pool and gym are the right ones to have, and a cinema is a nice extra that costs money to run. Ask whether the cinema is a bookable room or a shared screen, and who pays for its upkeep — the answer varies building to building even within one developer’s portfolio.

Where it is

Jumeirah Village Triangle is a low-density district between Al Khail Road, Umm Suqeim Street and the Dubai-Al Ain corridor, next door to JVC and close to Sports City. It is the most family-shaped of Object 1’s three markets: townhouses, schools, parks, and a street layout that still feels residential rather than vertical.

Access is good in every direction that matters for work — Media City, Internet City and Al Barsha along Al Khail Road, and the inland districts via the Dubai-Al Ain corridor. There is no metro station in JVT, so the district assumes a car and a school run.

That is precisely why the larger layouts here can work. A family that wants three bedrooms, a pool and a gym, and does not want to maintain a townhouse, has a limited set of options in JVT — and a new tower with those amenities is one of them. The competing product is a townhouse a street away, which costs about the same and comes with a garden and a staircase. Look at both before you decide which lifestyle you are buying.
