A six-storey Binghatti block in District 11 of JVC
Binghatti Crescent is a finished apartment building by Binghatti in District 11 of Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai. The brief serves owners of units in the block, buyers and sellers dealing in its apartments second-hand, and anyone setting it beside other JVC buildings. Below are its register record, the physical facts about the building, and an account of what lies within walking and short driving distance.
The building
Binghatti Crescent is a mid-rise residential block of six storeys: a ground floor with five floors over it, topped by a roof. Beneath it, a single basement holds the car parking. The register's own description of the project reads basement, ground, five floors and roof, and classes it as a residential building with retail on the ground floor.
That retail floor is in use. Its street-level units hold a supermarket, a coffee shop and a pilates studio.
Jumeirah Village Circle
JVC is one of Nakheel's freehold master communities in Dubai. After the scheme's 2004 announcement and 2005 launch, the financial crisis of 2008 stalled construction for some years. Nakheel's villa and townhouse phases came through in 2013 and 2015, and the master developer had its roads and street lighting in place by 2015. Most of the mid-rise and high-rise apartment buildings in the community, Binghatti Crescent among them, came from developers working on individual plots.

The block sits 0.3 km from Circle Mall, where a hypermarket and a supermarket trade alongside pharmacies, a medical centre, a dental clinic, gyms, laundry and tailoring services, salons, places to eat and a cinema. A hotel-apartment building, Gloria H.E., is 0.4 km away.
