About Aria Residence
Aria Residence is a mid-rise residential building in JVC District 14, Jumeirah Village Circle, developed by Grovy Real Estate Development. Construction began in January 2019; Property Finder's own building guide lists handover in 2019, while Dubai Land Department records republished by propsearch.ae show an estimated handover of October 2020 and final completion by March 2021, both figures disclosed here since the gap likely reflects an initial partial handover versus the fully recorded completion date. The building comprises 123 residential units in total: 33 studios, 73 one-bedroom apartments and 17 two-bedroom apartments.
Aria Residence should not be confused with several similarly named but entirely unrelated developments. Aria Heights, also in JVC (District 12), is a separate, different project by a different developer, SRG Holdings. Aria by Beyond is another separate, still-under-construction JVC-area project by a different developer again. Aria by Nshama, in Town Square Dubai, is a wholly different community developed by Nshama, a division of Emaar, in a different part of the city. Arya Residences, on Dubai Islands, is a separate project by Citi Developers with a different spelling of the name. None of these buildings share a developer, location or ownership with Aria Residence by Grovy Real Estate Development.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Aria Residence sits in JVC District 14, part of Jumeirah Village Circle, one of Dubai's established, centrally located freehold districts. Listing data for the building places it roughly 20 minutes from Dubai Marina, 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 25 minutes from IMG World of Adventure by car.
District 14 sits on JVC's wider ring road, giving residents access to the community's shared parks, retail and dining without needing to leave the district for everyday needs. Aria Residence joins Royale Stays' wider JVC Building Guide cluster alongside other single-tower guides such as Harrington House and The Icon Casa.
Unit Types
Aria Residence offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments across 123 total units: 33 studios, 73 one-bedroom units and 17 two-bedroom units, per figures independently confirmed across two developer-facing project sites. Recent Dubai Land Department sale records republished by propsearch.ae show a 438 sq ft studio selling for AED 760,000 (around AED 1,730 per sq ft) in February 2026. Royale Stays has not independently verified a full size breakdown across every unit type beyond these individually recorded transactions, so owners should confirm their own unit's exact layout with building management.
Amenities
Amenities at Aria Residence include a heated swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and dedicated relaxation areas, a marble-floored reception with 24-hour concierge, assigned parking for residents, and a rooftop area designed for children with additional space for adult recreation. Listings for the building also note an on-site gym and kids' play areas, consistent with JVC's family-oriented mid-rise developments.
Transportation & Access
JVC has no on-site Metro station, so most residents and guests rely on a car, taxi or ride-hailing app. Aria Residence sits within JVC District 14, giving reasonably direct road access via the community's ring road onto Al Khail Road, with Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai both roughly a 20-minute drive away.
Rental & Price Trends
Recent rental contracts registered for Aria Residence show one-bedroom units letting in the AED 65,000 to 75,000 per year range across several 2026 transactions, two-bedroom units around AED 110,000 per year, and studios ranging from roughly AED 37,500 (a shorter, 7-month term) to AED 56,000 (a 12-month term) per year.

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Aria Residence, requires a DTCM holiday-home permit, along with confirming the building's own short-term letting policy before listing a unit. At least one unit at Aria Residence already operates as a short-term rental through a third-party operator, evidence that short-term letting is an active, established use case in this specific building rather than a purely theoretical one.
Royale Stays' own managed JVC portfolio shows studio units averaging AED 339/night at 88% occupancy (around AED 9,202/month), one-bedroom units averaging AED 432/night at 85% occupancy (around AED 11,344/month), and two-bedroom units averaging AED 750/night at 88% occupancy (around AED 20,400/month), a spread that lines up with Aria Residence's own studio-to-two-bedroom unit mix. Royale Stays handles the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications for owners at JVC buildings like Aria Residence, from a management fee starting from 15%.
Grovy Real Estate Development is a private residential developer, not a hotel brand: there is no policy reason, unlike Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand, that apartments at Aria Residence can't be run as licensed holiday homes.
