Jumeirah Beach Residence
A beachfront wall of forty-plus towers on the Arabian Gulf, where The Walk and The Beach put retail and sand directly beneath 15,000 residents.
About the District
Jumeirah Beach Residence runs along the Arabian Gulf beside Dubai Marina across 18.3 million sq ft, developed by Dubai Properties from 2002 and opened in 2008 at a cost of AED 6 billion. More than 40 hotel and residential towers of up to 46 storeys are arranged in six blocks — Murjan, Sadaf, Bahar, Rimal, Amwaj and Shams — holding around 7,000 units and some 15,000 residents. The architecture draws on Mediterranean and Arab motifs, and the district is freehold, with The Walk and The Beach at its foot.
The Walk and The Beach Below
A 1.7-kilometre waterfront promenade and an open-air beachfront retail district sit directly beneath the towers, with dining, cinema and year-round events.
Two Tram Stops, Two Metro Stations
JBR 1 and JBR 2 tram stops are five minutes' walk away, with Dubai Marina metro ten minutes and DMCC fifteen, plus Bluewaters Island by footbridge.
Beachfront Freehold at Accessible Entry
Studios have started from around AED 780,000 with annual rents near AED 70,000, giving roughly 6.1% — unusual for a genuine beachfront address.
Area Overview
Jumeirah Beach Residence is a high-density beachfront district built by Dubai Properties, part of government-owned Dubai Holding, and one of Dubai's earliest large freehold communities. Its six blocks form an almost continuous wall of towers between Dubai Marina and the sea, giving around 15,000 residents direct beach access and placing The Walk and The Beach retail districts at street level. The population is transient by design: short-let holiday demand, hotel residences and young professional tenants working in the neighbouring free zones of Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City. Buyers are predominantly investors targeting that dual long-let and holiday-let market.
