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.

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.
