This brief covers what was built, where it sits and what the government record shows, as a reference for owners and for anyone comparing it with other completed towers nearby.
The building
The tower has 25 storeys above one basement level, and that basement is given over to car parking. It stands on a plot of 3,756 sq m, or 40,430 sq ft.
The balconies are shaped to help cool the apartments efficiently, and the units open through glazed sliding doors and windows.
Silver Stone Engineering Consultants acted as architectural consultant, and Granada Europe Engineering Contracting Co. carried out the main construction.
Amenities
The facilities named for the building are a swimming pool with sun loungers and cabanas, a gymnasium and balconies to the apartments. The ground floor holds retail units opening onto the street, among them a pharmacy.
Location
The wider Jumeirah Village development, of which the Circle forms part, was announced in 2004, with its formal launch a year later. Building slowed for several years after the financial crisis of 2008. In 2013, 400 townhouses and 615 villas reached completion there, and by 2015 Nakheel, as master developer, had finished the infrastructure, roads and street lighting included. In October 2016, three new entry and exit points linked Jumeirah Village Circle to Hessa Street.
