About Alcove
Alcove is a six-storey residential building in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) District 11, developed by Grovy Real Estate Development. The building comprises a ground floor of retail outlets and five residential floors above, holding around 78 apartments in a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom layouts. Construction began in September 2015 and the building was completed in 2018.
The project was designed by Next Engineering Consultants and is described on its own building guide listing as using eco-friendly materials in line with Dubai's Green Building Code. Alcove sits among dozens of other low and mid-rise developments in District 11, one of JVC's established residential pockets rather than a headline high-rise address.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Alcove sits in JVC District 11, part of Jumeirah Village Circle, one of Dubai's largest freehold apartment communities and a short drive from Sheikh Zayed Road. The location places Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Mall of the Emirates all within roughly a 15 to 20-minute drive, with Dubai International Airport around 30 minutes away. For a wider view of the area's short-term rental market, Royale Stays' Airbnb management guide for JVC covers licensing and demand across the community.
JVC is also home to several other buildings covered separately on royalestays.com, including Binghatti Heights, Hyati Avenue and Bloom Towers B, each with its own layout and unit mix.
Unit Types
Alcove offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments across its five residential floors: around 78 units in total. Studio units run from around 439 square feet, one-bedroom apartments range from roughly 865 to 1,236 square feet, and two-bedroom units span approximately 1,280 to 1,724 square feet, the building's largest configuration.
Amenities
Residents have access to a gym, a swimming pool, a kids' play area and an open-air barbecue and sitting area. The ground floor also carries a handful of everyday retail outlets, including a laundry service, a flower shop, an optician and a restaurant.
Transportation & Access
Alcove's District 11 position gives residents and short-term guests quick access to Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, connecting to Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay within a comfortable drive; Dubai International Airport is around 30 minutes away. JVC is a car-first community, and guests staying here generally rely on cars or ride-hailing rather than the Metro, with the nearest station around a 12-minute drive.
Rental & Price Trends
JVC-wide rental aggregates place typical studio rents around AED 52,000 to 58,000 per year and one-bedroom rents around AED 74,000 to 76,000 per year, a reasonable proxy for Alcove's studio and 1BR stock, while its two-bedroom units, the building's largest configuration, would rent at a premium not captured in that range. Owners can use Royale Stays' ROI calculator to see what a specific unit's short-term rental income could look like.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Grovy Real Estate Development is a private developer rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home at Alcove. Every Dubai short-term rental needs a DTCM holiday home permit, which a management company can arrange, including for owners based overseas.
Royale Stays runs the full operation for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer. Alcove's compact studio-to-two-bedroom mix and JVC District 11 address suit short-term rental demand across a range of guest types.
