Westwood Grande by Imtiaz, JVC
Imtiaz Developments developed Westwood Grande by Imtiaz, a 19-storey tower in Jumeirah Village Circle that was completed in 2024. The homes are studios and one-bedrooms. Nothing larger is on offer in the tower. That tight mix tells you who the building is for: people who want a compact, modern home with the services of a tower around it.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Weekend, week or month
For a weekend, a studio is all the space you need, and the reception desk and security with CCTV cover make a quick arrival easy. For a week, a laundry service and maintenance services keep things running without you leaving the building. For a month, the one-bedroom starts to make sense, because a separate bedroom stops the working day from following you into bed. The mix is narrow, but the stay lengths it covers are wide.
The studio, room by room
A studio folds sleep, meals and a desk into one room. A tower this size works because the rest of the day happens elsewhere in the building. Think of a cafe or restaurant on site for the first coffee and a roof or deck area for the last sit-down. JVC has housing from studios up to five-bedroom villas, and this tower sits at the small end of that range with the most modern finish.
The one-bedroom, room by room
The one-bedroom adds a door between the bed and the sofa, and that door matters for a couple, for a parent with a visiting child or for anyone who takes calls. On a 19-storey tower, the one-bedroom also gives you a choice of floor, and the higher you go the more of the city you hear and see.
Dessert, kebabs and a table for friends
Dessert Corner and Friends Corner are restaurants in JVC, and Kebab House serves Indian food. The roof deck is a good place to eat what you bring home.
Supermarkets for a longer stay
Lulu Hypermarket is the big-shop name for a month-long stay, and Waitrose and Union Coop are also supermarkets in JVC. A tower with a laundry service and a cafe leaves you with fewer errands.
Parking, service and the front desk
Parking is provided for residents, and a reception desk serves the building. Laundry and maintenance services are provided too. The practical side of a month stays out of your way.
From the terminal to the lobby
Your flight lands at Dubai International (DXB). One taxi leg reaches JVC from there. Three major roads feed the entrances, because the community sits where Hessa Street, Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road meet. JVC has no Red Line station of its own, so a taxi is the simple way to arrive with luggage.
Parks with names
Sabar Park, Harmel and Farfar are among the parks and play areas in JVC. JVC has no large public parks, only a network of small green spaces, and nearly every district holds one.
The first evening
After the taxi, the reception desk takes over. A cafe or restaurant on site and retail units in the building mean the first coffee and a bag of basics are both downstairs. LOUI Restaurant and Cafe is one of the independent places in JVC if you want a change by the next morning.
Circle Mall when the weather turns
Circle Mall opened in 2021 and spans 532,000 sq ft, which makes it the obvious answer to a wet or very hot afternoon. Its family entertainment centre holds an arcade and trampolines. ROXY at the mall sells a Gold tier with in-seat dining and a Bronze tier with a plain big-screen setup. A cinema night can be a treat or a cheap one.
The roof, the play area and the shops downstairs
A roof or deck area sits at the top of the building. A play area for children keeps a visiting family busy, and retail units on site mean a forgotten charger is a short trip downstairs. The cafe or restaurant on site handles the rest.
Gyms, clinics and schools
GymNation Motor City is a gym beyond the building. Mediclinic Park View Hospital in Arjan is the larger hospital outside JVC, and Medon Pharmacy is among the pharmacies in the community. Nord Anglia International School in Al Barsha 3 offers British and IB Diploma routes from FS1 to Year 13.
What a tall tower asks of you
Nineteen storeys means lifts, and lifts mean a wait at the busy hours. The pool and the gym are shared with the whole tower. That is the price of a full amenity list, and the tower itself rarely feels empty.
Pool, gym and barbecue
The shared spaces are built around a swimming pool, a gym and a barbecue area, with landscaped gardens around them. Use the gym before the heat and take the pool after it. Keep the barbecue area for the evening, when a group can gather together.
Getting around: roads, buses, no metro
JVC has few entry and exit points, which can bottleneck at peak hours. Most people end up with a car, because there is no metro inside the community. RTA route J01 runs through JVC and stops at 39 places inside it. It ends at Mall of the Emirates, the large mall that the route reaches.
Hotels beside the community
The First Collection JVC and Novotel Jumeirah Village Triangle are among the hotels in and beside the community. Hotels are the fair comparison here. A hotel room gives you a bed and a bathroom, while a studio here adds a kitchen, a swimming pool and a gym within the same building. For a stay of a month, that difference decides most comparisons.
Nurseries and a school for a longer stay
A family weighing a term here can look at nurseries first. Little Wonders Nursery in the AMSA Building on Kaheel Boulevard follows the British EYFS and is described as KHDA-approved. Chubby Cheeks Nursery in Park View Tower is also listed in JVC. JSS International School teaches the Indian ICSE curriculum from Pre-KG to Grade 12 inside the community.
Mosque and a Friday
A mosque at Circle Mall holds up to 300 worshippers and has a separate area for women. On a Friday you can pair it with lunch in the mall.
A day out of the district
Dubai Butterfly Garden and Dubai Miracle Garden are among the attractions around the community, and both make a full day. The roof or deck area is the place to end it.
How the circle began
Nakheel launched Jumeirah Village Circle as a freehold master development. By 2017 it had completed about 300 two-bedroom villas and about 400 townhouses, and district cooling had been supplied to the community.
What to weigh before you book
Construction is still going on in parts of JVC, so some streets are noisier than the finished districts. The quiet streets and the silence at night can feel strange if you want a busier lifestyle. A 19-storey tower is tall for the district, so it suits you less if you want low-rise calm. If you are comparing towers, our Masaar Residence guide is one to look at. Bloom Towers B page is another. Hyati Avenue guide is a third.
If you own here
An apartment needs Residential on its title deed to qualify for a holiday home permit, and hotel rooms and hotel apartments are not eligible. Royale Stays manages homes for owners from a management fee of 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communication and maintenance. The the Jumeirah Village Circle owner guide page covers the permit steps in more detail.
