RA1N Residence

About RA1N Residence

RA1N is a 25-storey completed tower in a quiet pocket of JVC, sold by Object 1 on water: a light grey and white facade, water-inspired interiors, pools and decorative water features, and a name that promises calm after heat. The developer describes its position as away from the main routes but close to the district’s attractions — a quiet urban oasis among villas and townhouses.

What it costs. The last portal record is a 690 sq ft one-bedroom at AED 959,936, or about AED 1,391 per square foot. A 1,172 sq ft two-bedroom is listed without a price. Because the building is complete, that figure is best used as a benchmark against the last three registered sales in the tower rather than as a quote.

What a completed JVC tower gives you. Certainty on three things that off-plan buyers have to guess at: the finish, the service charge and the tenant pool. You can see how the water features have aged, whether the pool deck is used, what the corridors smell like in August and who lives next door. In JVC — where more than sixty projects compete and every brochure looks the same — that is worth more than any render.

The amenity set. The developer lists a wide one for a 25-storey building: swimming pool, kids pool, outdoor crossfit, outdoor kids play area, sitting area, table football, table tennis, BBQ and outdoor lounge, clubhouse, gym, outdoor shower and baja shelves. The portal adds an infinity pool, spa and sauna, yoga and meditation areas, retail and dining. It reads like a building designed for residents rather than for photographs, which in a completed building you can verify.

The honest read. A finished, well-amenitised JVC tower priced mid-market, with no development risk left to price. It is the safest purchase on this page and the least exciting; the diligence that matters is the specific unit, the service-charge history and the current rent roll.

Compiled November 2026 from Object 1’s own RA1N project page (unit types, amenity list, description, and its own “Completed” status marker) and the listing portal’s record (priced floor plan, Q4 2025 handover). 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

Two layouts in a completed building:

A 690 sq ft one-bedroom is a comfortable size by JVC standards — enough for a proper living area and a study nook — and at AED 1,391 per square foot it sits below the rate of the new towers in this portfolio. That gap is the completed-building discount, and it is the reason a finished unit is often the better investment despite the lack of a payment plan.

Ask for the two-bedroom price and compare it per foot with the one-bedroom. In most JVC buildings the two-bedroom is the better rent per dirham invested, because families pay for space and singles pay for location.

Price and payment plan

No plan — the building is complete. This is a negotiated purchase with the usual transfer costs, plus the first year of service charge.

Budget about AED 1.02 million on that price before legal and finance costs. Because the building is complete, ask for the last two years of service-charge budgets and actuals: a tower with many water features and outdoor amenities can be expensive to run, and a well-run building shows it in a stable charge rather than a rising one.

Amenities

The developer’s list is unusually specific: swimming pool, kids pool, outdoor crossfit, outdoor kids play area, outdoor shower, sitting area, table football, table tennis, BBQ and outdoor lounge, clubhouse, gym and baja shelves. The portal adds an infinity pool, spa and sauna, yoga and meditation areas, restaurants and retail.

Outdoor crossfit and table football are the kind of amenities that get used, and they cost far less to maintain than a spa. If you are buying to rent, that mix is a good sign: it suggests the developer built for residents rather than for a brochure, and the running cost should reflect it.

Where it is

Jumeirah Village Circle is Dubai’s biggest gated apartment district, built around a circular road with parks, schools and a retail strip inside it. RA1N’s particular pocket is the quieter, villa-adjacent part of the circle — away from the main access roads and closer to low-rise neighbours than most towers in the district.

That matters more than it sounds. JVC’s main roads are busy at peak times and many towers sit directly on them. A building set back among villas gets less traffic noise and better views, which is exactly what rents best in a district where tenants have a hundred alternatives.

Access is by car: Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street are the main exits, Mall of the Emirates is around 10 to 15 minutes away in good traffic, and there is no metro station in the district.
