About Zazen One
Zazen One is a nine-storey residential tower in JVT District 7, Jumeirah Village Triangle, Dubai, developed by ZaZEN Property Development. Property research source propsearch.ae, which also publishes the building's own Dubai Land Department (DLD) transaction history, describes it as the developer's first completed project. The developer's own website independently confirms the same building, describing it as an award-winning, solar-powered community delivered in January 2022.
Construction began in January 2020 and the building was completed by December 2021, with an estimated handover of January 2022, per propsearch.ae. The developer's own site instead records handover in February 2022, a roughly one-month difference between the two sources. Architectural consultant Kaizen Architects & Engineers designed the building, with interior design handled by Note-D and the main construction contract carried out by Aroma International Building Contractors. According to the Land Department, the project was valued at AED 72,000,000 at the time of registration, an estimate submitted by the developer before construction began.
The developer markets Zazen One around sustainable, community-focused living, citing rooftop solar systems and shared landscaped courtyards and open spaces as part of the building's green design. The developer also states the building sold out within six months of launch and is home to residents from 27 nationalities; these are the developer's own claims and have not been independently verified beyond the building's own marketing material.

Unit Types at Zazen One
Zazen One comprises 86 units in total, a figure confirmed independently by both propsearch.ae and the developer's own site. Propsearch.ae describes the unit mix in short as one- and two-bedroom apartments plus duplexes, while the developer's own site gives a fuller breakdown: one-bedroom, two-bedroom, two-bedroom-with-maid's-room and three-bedroom-with-maid's-room apartments, plus four duplex units, all within the same 86-unit total. Recorded Dubai Land Department transactions confirm one-, two- and three-bedroom units have all changed hands at the building.
Amenities
The developer positions Zazen One around sustainable community living rather than a resort-style amenity list, citing rooftop solar energy systems and shared landscaped courtyards and open spaces as its main built-in features. A dedicated gym or swimming pool was not separately itemised in the sources reviewed for this specific building, so neither is claimed here; prospective buyers should confirm current in-building facilities directly with the developer or a listing agent.
Transportation & Access
From Zazen One it takes roughly 20 minutes to drive to Dubai Mall, 15 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 18 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 17 minutes to The Walk, JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 28 minutes away by car, and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is roughly 25 minutes away.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Land Department transaction records classify units at Zazen One under the standard residential "Flat" sub-type, not a hotel-apartment classification, so the building follows the usual freehold-apartment route for a Dubai holiday-home permit rather than needing to go through a building management company. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for how a DTCM permit application generally works for a freehold owner in this position, covering eligibility, required documents and the general approval process. JVT is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so no active-management history or earnings figures are implied for this specific building.
The developer's own marketing material cites annual long-term rental rates of roughly AED 98 to AED 130 per sq ft and a rental yield of 9% to 13%, sourced by the developer from DXB Interact and Dubai property listing sites. This is a long-term-rental yield figure, not an Airbnb-style short-term-rental income estimate, and it is the developer's own claim rather than independently verified rental data.
Owners of a comparable Dubai freehold apartment elsewhere in Royale Stays' core managed areas can enquire about the company's standard short-term rental management services, which start from a 15% fee and cover furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications and maintenance.
