Sky Level 1

Sky Level 1 — Ground-Floor Retail by Object 1

Location: District 11, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai

Hessa Street is one of JVC's defining commercial edges — a well-travelled arterial road that carries daily traffic between Al Khail Road to the east and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road to the west, while also forming the northern boundary of the JVC Community Villas. The street is active throughout the day, drawing residents from within the circle, commuters cutting through the district, and visitors accessing Circle Mall, the FIVE Jumeirah Village Hotel, and the cluster of hotels, clinics, and schools that have built up along this corridor over the past decade.

For retail operators, a Hessa Street address at the base of a 39-storey residential tower offers something specific: a large, established community walking distance on one side, and passing road traffic with clear signage visibility on the other. The units at Sky Level 1 sit at the junction of these two audiences — JVC's own resident base of families and professionals, and the broader through-traffic that Hessa Street generates daily.

JVC has matured into one of Dubai's most transacted residential communities, with population density that continues to grow as new towers complete. That growth directly supports ground-level retail demand for convenience, F&B, wellness, and professional services — categories that follow population rather than destination footfall, and that perform consistently in communities with strong owner-occupier and long-term tenant bases.

Project Overview

A 39-Storey Mixed-Use Tower with Active Ground-Floor Commercial Frontage

Sky Level 1 is a high-rise development by Object 1, delivered in partnership with Level One Properties. Rising 39 residential floors above a commercial and parking podium, the tower brings 420 one-bedroom apartments to District 11, JVC — exclusively 1-bedroom units sized from 566 to 732 sq. ft. and priced from AED 945,000. The residential concentration creates a significant and stable on-site population from day one of handover.

The building's ground floor is designed as an active commercial frontage, with six retail units addressing both the Hessa Street elevation and the JVC Community boundary. Above the retail level, five floors of parking serve the building's residential and commercial populations, followed by three floors of office space and the residential tower. The separation of residential, commercial, and retail circulation — with dedicated lobbies and entrances for each — keeps the retail frontage operationally clean and accessible without being filtered through residential traffic management.

The project's concept draws on celestial architecture and a distinctly design-forward approach, from its hotel-grade lobby reception to the Sky Infinity Pool and Sky Observation Deck at Floor 16 — amenities that reinforce the building's premium positioning and support the long-term quality of the retail address.

Location

Hessa Street, JVC: A Retail Address Built on Resident Density

JVC's retail story is fundamentally a population story. The community has grown from a largely under-occupied development zone a decade ago into one of Dubai's most densely populated mid-market residential districts — and that population continues to expand with each new tower completion. Sky Level 1's 420 apartments add directly to that catchment, but the broader JVC population of tens of thousands of residents creates a retail demand base that extends well beyond the building's own occupiers.

The categories that perform in JVC retail are consistent: F&B (cafés, casual dining, delivery-focused kitchens), convenience (superettes, pharmacies, laundry), wellness (salons, clinics, gyms), and professional services (insurance, financial advisory, real estate). These are daily and weekly needs, not destination visits — which means footfall is generated by proximity and habit rather than marketing spend. A well-located ground-floor unit on Hessa Street, in a building with 420 residents directly above, is positioned to capture that habitual demand from opening day.

Connectivity

• Hessa Street (D61): Direct frontage — connects westward to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and eastward to Al Khail Road (E44)

• Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311): North toward Dubai Media City, Motor City, and the city centre; south toward Expo City and Al Maktoum International Airport

• Al Khail Road (E44): Fast access to Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai Hills Estate

• The building's Hessa Street position places it on JVC's primary through-road — accessible from outside the community without navigating the internal road network

  
  

Proximity to Landmarks

• 2 minutes — Circle Mall, HE Hotel UAE

• 6 minutes — FIVE Jumeirah Village Hotel

• 8 minutes — Jumeirah Golf Estates Golf Course

• 12 minutes — Dubai Hills Mall

• 15 minutes — Ain Dubai, Global Village

• 16 minutes — Mall of the Emirates

• 20 minutes — Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab

• 22 minutes — Palm Jumeirah

• 25 minutes — Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall

For retail operators, the 2-minute proximity to Circle Mall is worth noting specifically — Circle Mall is JVC's principal retail destination, which means Sky Level 1's ground-floor units are not competing with it for footfall but complementing it: residents who use Circle Mall for larger shopping trips will use the Hessa Street retail base for daily convenience visits.
