Dubai

Jumeirah Beach Residence.

The one district where the register is reassuring. JBR has 22 plots, and the tallest thing permitted on any of the unbuilt ones is two storeys.

How to read this

  • These are sales, not asking prices. Every figure comes from a transaction that completed and was registered — not from a listing someone hoped to achieve.
  • Mortgages and gifts are excluded. A mortgage’s value is a loan and a gift is often registered at a nominal amount. Counting either as a sale is the quickest way to a confident wrong number.
  • The year-by-year line is resale only. Off-plan medians move with whatever happened to launch that year, which looks like a price change and is not one.
  • A median is not a valuation. Floor, view, finish and layout move a price far more than a district median can show. For a specific unit, ask us.

How to read this

  • Permitted is not planned. A height limit is what a plot is allowed to become. Nothing has to be built, and what is built need not reach the limit.
  • Empty means no structure is recorded. Not that work is about to start, and not that the plot is for sale.
  • Counted by the register’s own district name, not by a rectangle drawn on a map. A box around a neighbourhood picks up its neighbours’ plots and produces confident, wrong numbers.

The district, drawn

Every plot in Jumeirah Beach Residence, and what it may become.

22 plots, drawn from the planning register rather than from a street map. Nothing here is vacant with a high-rise permission. 3 more are vacant but capped at low-rise. A further 5 are open space, roads and utilities, which the register does not permit building on at all — worth knowing before you read an empty plot as a future tower. The ringed plot carries the tallest permission still unbuilt here: up to 2 storeys.

Shapes are plot boundaries as the register holds them, not building footprints — a permitted envelope is what a plot may become, not what anyone has said they will build. Everything above is the register’s except the 10-storey line between high- and low-rise, which is ours.

What JBR is

The beachfront wall of towers along The Walk, between Dubai Marina and the sea, with the beach and the promenade on one side and the Marina on the other. It is one of the oldest large residential schemes on this stretch of coast and it has been finished for years.

Which is exactly what makes it unusual on this register.

Nothing tall can be added

Of 22 registered plots, thirteen are complete and eight are empty. But only two unfinished plots carry any height permission at all, and the tallest of those is G+M+1 — ground, mezzanine and one floor. Two storeys.

In a city where the honest answer to ‘will my view survive’ is usually ‘check the register and decide’, here the register says the sightlines are about as settled as Dubai gets. That is worth paying for, and worth knowing you are paying for.

Before you buy here

Ask us what is permitted on the plot next door.

For a specific building we will read the register around it — what stands there now, what is under construction, and what height the empty plots are permitted to reach. It takes us minutes and it is the question that decides whether a view is a feature or a temporary condition.

Jumeirah Beach Residence

Straight answers.

Will my sea view in JBR be built out?
On the evidence of the plot register, no. Jumeirah Beach Residence has 22 registered plots and only two unfinished ones carry a height permission at all — the tallest being G+M+1, which is ground floor, mezzanine and one storey. Nothing on the register permits a tower that could take a JBR sea view.
How much of JBR is built?
Thirteen of 22 plots are recorded as complete and eight as empty, with one in pre-construction. The empty plots are largely commercial, transport and hospitality land rather than residential development sites, and as above they carry almost no height.
Is JBR the same as Dubai Marina?
No, though they adjoin and are constantly conflated. JBR is the beachfront strip along The Walk; the Marina is the harbour district behind it. The register treats JBR as its own district — and does not contain Dubai Marina at all, which is why we publish register figures for one and not the other.
What does property cost in JBR?
We do not publish an area average, because we do not yet hold verified transaction data we would stand behind. Ask us about a specific tower and we will get the recorded comparables.
What do completed homes in Jumeirah Beach Residence sell for?
In 2026 so far the Dubai Land Department registered 284 sales of completed homes in Jumeirah Beach Residence, at a median of AED 1,615 per square foot. Most sat between AED 1,407 and AED 2,045 per square foot, and the median price paid was AED 2,540,000. These are completed transactions, not asking prices. Figures to 17 September 2026.
Are prices in Jumeirah Beach Residence going up or down?
Measured on completed homes, the median price per square foot in Jumeirah Beach Residence is down 5% against last year. We measure this on resale only: off-plan medians move with whatever projects happened to launch that year, which can look like a price change when it is really a change in what was on sale. Based on registered transactions to 17 September 2026.
What do these figures not tell me?
They are district medians, not a valuation. Floor, view, finish, layout and service charges move a price far more than a district median can capture, so a specific apartment can sit well outside these ranges for good reason. We also hold no rental or yield data — every figure here comes from sale transactions — and none for Abu Dhabi, which keeps a separate register. Where we cannot source something, we say so rather than estimate it.
