LUM1NAR Tower 2

The middle tower of the LUM1NAR trio skips studios and bets on the extra room

The brochure for LUM1NAR Tower 2 lists 167 apartments, and not one of them is a studio. Object One Real Estate Development went the opposite way in the neighboring tower of the same complex, where studios and one bedroom units make up most of the program. Here, the building stacks a ground floor, five podium levels, nineteen residential floors and a rooftop, following the G+5P+19 layout given by the developer. The address sits in District 2 of Jumeirah Village Triangle, at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Khail Road (E44). Handover is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. The project is sold freehold, as is most of JVT.

111 one bedroom units, 56 with a half room

The unit mix is short. There are 111 one bedroom apartments, 18 one bedroom plus half units and 38 two bedroom plus half units. In Dubai, the "half room" refers to an extra space without the status of a full bedroom, most often used as a home office, a nursery or storage. A third of the program therefore comes with this additional space. It's a clear choice for buyers who work from home or are expecting a child, but aren't ready to jump straight to a full three bedroom layout. The typical floor plan, identical from the 2nd to the 19th floor, also makes it easier for off plan buyers to compare units.

Three levels of virtual keys on the front door

The technical specifications are among the most detailed parts of the brochure. Each unit comes with a smart lock that opens via smartphone or smartwatch, with three permission levels for family, guests and service providers. An access log records every entry and exit. For a landlord who hands the property over to a short term rental manager, this feature removes the need for physical key handovers between guests. Home automation also controls lighting, temperature, music and security. Air conditioning and ventilation run on Daikin equipment, with an inverter heat pump and humidity control, a factor that affects electricity bills in a climate where cooling is needed nearly year round.

VR gaming room and sauna on the podium

The five podium levels house most of the shared spaces. The outdoor pool with sun loungers is paired with a children's pool, an outdoor play area and an indoor games room with backlit milled panels. For teenagers and adults, a gaming room offers PlayStation consoles, VR headsets and a large screen. The rest of the amenities include a sauna, a gym with organically shaped walls, an outdoor yoga lounge, a barbecue kitchen and an open air lounge. One detail worth checking: the clubhouse and prayer room listings mention "LUM1NAR Tower 1," suggesting some amenities may be shared across the complex's towers rather than exclusive to this one.

Sunmarke School two minutes away by car

The developer provides travel times from the tower, and schools top the list. Sunmarke School is 2 minutes away, Arcadia School 5 minutes, JSS International School 12 minutes. For shopping, City Centre Me'aisem is listed at 11 minutes, Circle Mall and Mall of the Emirates at 15 minutes, Dubai Hills Mall at 17 minutes. Dubai International Airport is roughly 30 minutes away, the beach 15 minutes. The Novotel and Mövenpick hotels in JVT, 2 minutes away, offer a useful benchmark for visitors passing through and for gauging short term rental demand in the area.

Service charges set at 15 AED per square foot

The brochure quotes projected service charges of 15 AED per square foot per year. The figure remains indicative until the building is handed over and registration with the authorities is finalized. It covers a lobby with 24 hour concierge service and a podium packed with amenities, two items that add to ongoing maintenance costs. The timeline hinges on the handover planned for December 2026, while the neighborhood awaits the opening of Al Khail Avenue, a mall announced with supermarkets, cinemas, restaurants and hotels. For Object One, already present in JVT with W1NNER Tower and LUM1NAR Tower 3, this second tower rounds out a set of three buildings sharing a common style.
