About May Residence
May Residence is a freehold residential complex in JVC District 10, Jumeirah Village Circle, developed by May Real Estate Development, a subsidiary of Landmark Holdings. Construction began in January 2016, the estimated handover date was the fourth quarter of 2018 and propsearch.ae records completion in December 2019. The architectural consultant was MBA Engineering Consultancy.
Propsearch.ae counts 329 units and Dubricks describes 329 apartments and four retail spaces. The Dubai Land Department files sales under separate tower names, including May Residence Tower 2, Tower 3 and Tower 5, so the records below cover the complex rather than a single block. Propsearch.ae gives the project value as AED 80,000,000 (about USD 21.8 million), a developer estimate made before construction.
Developer, architect and construction start confirmed by propsearch.ae and dubricks.com. Disclosed conflicts no source could break: storeys are 6 on dubricks.com and 4 on bayut.com; units are 329 on propsearch.ae, bayut.com and dubricks.com against 339 on dxbinteract.com (including 7 commercial); completion is December 2019 on propsearch.ae, dubricks.com and 2020 on bayut.com.

Airbnb Income Potential at May Residence
May Residence is a residential complex with no hotel operator, so the standard route applies: the owner holds the title, the unit is registered as a holiday home with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, and Royale Stays handles the application, the furnishing plan, photography, pricing, guest check-in, communications and maintenance under a management fee from 15%. Our Airbnb management in JVC page covers how that works across the community, and the wider Airbnb property management in Dubai guide covers the service in full.
What works in its favour: a pool, gym and sky garden, shops and a cafe on the ground floor, parks within a few minutes on foot and a mix of studios to two-bedroom units. What works against it: it is a car-first location, and with more than 300 units there are many comparable listings in the same complex.
