About JAM Marina Residence
JAM Marina Residence is a 41-storey freehold residential tower on the Dubai Marina waterfront, developed by Capital United LLC, part of the Juma Al-Majid Group. The project had a long and unusual history: piling began in 2007 under an earlier developer, but the site sat largely stalled for around seven years with only the basement and ground floor completed. Capital United LLC took over in March 2014 and finished construction, with the building completing around late 2017.
The building has been marketed under more than one name across its history, and worth being explicit about here since it directly affects search results: an earlier marketing name for this building was reportedly plain "Marina Residence" around 2014, before it was renamed JAM Marina Residence. That earlier name is also, separately and confusingly, the name of a completely different, older 16-storey Dubai Marina building developed by Sharaf Group and completed in 2006. This guide covers the 41-storey JAM Marina Residence only, not that unrelated Sharaf Group building, and not Palm Jumeirah's similarly-named "Marina Residences" complex either. The development holds 236 units in total, across a mix of studios, one to four-bedroom apartments, two penthouses and three villas.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
JAM Marina Residence sits within Dubai Marina's dense waterfront cluster, close to Marina Walk and Dubai Marina Mall for dining, retail and beach access via the short drive to JBR. Dubai Marina Tram Station connects into the Dubai Metro's Red Line, giving a car-free route into JLT, Dubai Media City and Downtown Dubai.
JAM Marina Residence joins Royale Stays' wider Dubai Marina Building Guide cluster alongside La Riviera Tower, Marina Suites and The Point Tower, three more Marina towers Royale Stays covers.
Unit Types
JAM Marina Residence's 236 units span a wide range: studios, one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, two penthouses and three villas, an unusually broad unit mix for a single Marina tower, reflecting the building's long, phased development history. Apartments generally follow a standard Marina layout with open-plan kitchens and at least one balcony; penthouse and villa units occupy the building's upper floors and offer larger, more distinct layouts than the standard apartment stock. Exact per-type unit counts vary across public listing sources, so this guide presents the mix qualitatively rather than citing a single breakdown as definitive.
Amenities
Residents have access to a gymnasium, a swimming pool and a basketball court, along with amenities reported across listings sources including a reception service, covered or allocated parking, high-speed internet, a barbecue area and an outdoor or children's play area.
Transportation & Access
Dubai Marina Tram Station is a short distance away, feeding into the Marina's tram loop and onward to the Red Line Metro. Sheikh Zayed Road is close enough for quick access into Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Dubai International Airport, while Marina Walk itself is walkable for restaurants, cafes and waterfront leisure without needing a car at all.
Rental & Price Trends
Across Royale Stays' managed Dubai Marina apartments, the blended rate runs AED 921 a night at 88 percent occupancy; by unit type, a one-bedroom averages around AED 600 a night and a two-bedroom around AED 755 a night. No JAM Marina Residence-specific budget file exists in Royale Stays' managed portfolio data as of this guide, so these figures are Dubai Marina area-blended, not exclusive to this tower; the building's own unusually broad unit mix, studios through villas, means individual unit economics here can vary more than at a single-unit-type tower. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at JAM Marina Residence, needs a valid DTCM holiday home permit before taking bookings, alongside professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays and owners-association coordination. This guide's own research found a named serviced-apartment operator, HiGuests, listing bookable stays directly inside JAM Marina Residence via the OTA Almosafer, real, concrete evidence that short-term and serviced-apartment activity already exists in this exact building, not just general real-estate-portal interest. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process generally involves.
Royale Stays runs the full operation for owners here for a fee starting from 15%, including permit submission for overseas owners, furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer.
