About Belgravia 1

Belgravia 1 is a five-storey freehold apartment building in JVC District 14, Jumeirah Village Circle, developed by Ellington Properties. The building rises above a basement level and ground floor with four residential floors, holding 181 apartments in total across one, two and three-bedroom layouts. Construction began in November 2014 and the building was completed in 2017.

Dubai Land Department records list this building under the project name "BELGRAVIA" and the area designation "Al Barsha South Fourth," the municipal name for this part of JVC. Unlike some of its sister buildings, Belgravia 1 has no studio apartments: every unit is a one, two or three-bedroom layout, with one-bedroom units starting from around 970 sq ft, two-bedroom units ranging from roughly 1,433 to 1,543 sq ft, and three-bedroom units around 2,056 sq ft.

Belgravia 1 (often written "Belgravia" without a number in official developer and Land Department records) is the first-built of an original three-building Ellington development, alongside Belgravia 2 and Belgravia 3. It is a genuinely separate building from Belgravia Heights 1, a much larger 21-storey, 155-unit tower in the different JVC District 12, completed five years later in 2022. Ellington has also built Belgravia Heights 2, Belgravia Square and, in an entirely different Dubai community (Dubailand, not JVC), a project called Belgravia Gardens. This guide covers Belgravia 1 specifically.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

Belgravia 1 sits in Jumeirah Village Circle, District 14, next to Bijada Boulevard North with direct access onto Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Nearby landmarks include JVC Halfa Park and Dubai International Stadium.

Belgravia 1’s closest true siblings are Belgravia 2 and Belgravia 3, part of the same original three-building development. The similarly named but unrelated Belgravia Heights 1 sits in a different part of JVC (District 12).

By car, Belgravia 1 is roughly 21 minutes from Dubai Mall, 16 minutes from Palm Jumeirah, 17 minutes from Burj Al Arab and 19 minutes from The Walk, JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 26 minutes away and Al Maktoum International Airport roughly 34 minutes away. Drive times are approximate and will vary by time of day.


Unit Types

Belgravia 1 offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments only, 181 units in total, spread across four residential floors above a ground floor and basement. One-bedroom units start from around 970 sq ft, two-bedroom units range from roughly 1,433 to 1,543 sq ft, and three-bedroom units run to around 2,056 sq ft. There are no studio apartments in this building, unlike some of its sister Belgravia developments.


Amenities

Residents have access to a gym, a swimming pool, a children's play area, a landscaped garden and a barbecue area. The building offers basement parking with at least one space per unit, high-speed elevators, 24-hour CCTV security, and is pet-friendly.


Transportation & Access

JVC has no Metro station of its own. Belgravia 1’s District 14 position gives direct access onto Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, connecting residents and short-term guests toward Dubai Marina, JBR and Downtown Dubai, with Dubai International Airport around 26 minutes away by car.


Real Dubai Land Department sale records show recent transactions at Belgravia 1 including AED 1,700,000 for a 1,433 sq ft two-bedroom apartment (May 2026, AED 1,190 per sq ft), AED 1,270,000 for a 970 sq ft one-bedroom apartment (March 2026, AED 1,310 per sq ft), and AED 1,100,000 for a 970 sq ft one-bedroom apartment (July 2026, AED 1,130 per sq ft).

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Renting a Belgravia 1 apartment short-term needs a DTCM holiday home permit, professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays, and owners-association coordination. 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.

Ellington Properties is a private developer, not a hotel brand: there is no policy reason, unlike Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand, that Belgravia 1 apartments can't be run as licensed holiday homes. Royale Stays already manages short-term rental properties across other JVC buildings, including sister developments in the same Belgravia family. The wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai, and the permit process itself follows the same DTCM holiday home permit route regardless of building. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.

Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a live Airbnb listing at Belgravia 1 specifically at the time of writing; figures above describe the company's real JVC track record for context, not a building-specific guarantee.



Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Belgravia 1 is a five-storey freehold apartment building in JVC District 14, Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai, developed by Ellington Properties. It holds 181 apartments across one, two and three-bedroom layouts, and was completed in 2017. It is also referred to simply as "Belgravia" in official developer and Land Department records.
No. Belgravia Heights 1 is a separate, much larger Ellington Properties tower in a different part of JVC, District 12: 21 storeys and 155 units, completed in 2022. Belgravia 1 is a smaller, older 5-storey building with 181 units in District 14, completed in 2017. The similar names come from the same developer's branding, not from being the same building.
Yes. Belgravia 1 is the first-built of an original three-building Ellington development in JVC District 14, alongside Belgravia 2 (completed 2019) and Belgravia 3 (completed 2021). All three are separate, independently registered buildings sharing the same low-rise design language.
No. Belgravia Gardens is a separate Ellington Properties project in Dubailand, a completely different part of Dubai from Jumeirah Village Circle. Despite the shared "Belgravia" branding, it is not part of the JVC Belgravia family that includes Belgravia 1, 2 and 3.
Belgravia 1 offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments only, 181 units in total. There are no studio apartments in this building, unlike some of the other Belgravia developments in JVC.
Structurally, yes. Ellington Properties is not a hotel-branded developer with the kind of restriction that applies to buildings like Vida, so no building-specific prohibition applies here. Any owner would still need a DTCM holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism before listing, the same standard requirement across Dubai. Royale Stays can manage the process end to end for a fee starting from 15%.
