LUM1NAR Tower 3

Studios and one-bedrooms make up 76% of the scheme in the final tower of the LUM1NAR trio

Out of the 184 units in LUM1NAR Tower 3, 140 are studios or one-bedroom apartments. That figure alone sums up the positioning of this tower, the third and last in a residential complex that Object One Real Estate Development is building in District 2 of Jumeirah Village Triangle. The building follows a B+G+5P+20+R configuration: one basement level, a ground floor, five podium levels, twenty residential floors and a rooftop. Four retail units sit at the base of the tower. The official brochure lists handover for the third quarter of 2027, with service charges estimated at 15 dirhams per square foot.

69 studios, 71 one-bedrooms, only 6 large units

The unit mix leaves little room for doubt. There are 69 studios (37.5% of the total), 71 one-bedroom apartments, 38 two-bedroom units and 6 three-bedroom-plus-maid's-room layouts. Larger units account for barely 3% of the total, making them a marginal part of the offering. With an average of roughly nine units per floor, density sits in line with other recent JVT towers. The floor plans separate levels 2 to 18 from levels 19 and 20, which follow a different layout, suggesting larger units toward the top of the building.

Three 25-storey towers built to the same rhythm

LUM1NAR isn't a standalone building. All three towers share the same 25-storey height and a common architectural language, conceived as a single complex rather than three separate projects. The interiors follow a minimalist approach: large windows, wood accents, indirect lighting. The entrance lobby relies on backlit frosted glass panels paired with wood and darker tones. The brochure even reuses some of the text from Tower 1 (clubhouse, prayer rooms), a sign that the three buildings largely share the same specifications.

Smart lock with three tiers of virtual keys

The smart home features go further than what's typical in this segment. Every door opens with a smartphone or smartwatch, and owners can grant access through three tiers of virtual keys (family, friends, service providers). An activity log records every entry and exit. For a landlord managing short-term rentals remotely, this removes the need to hand over physical keys in person. Air conditioning is handled by Daikin, with an Inverter heat pump and ventilation that refreshes air and controls humidity, both factors that affect the electricity bill.

VR gaming room, outdoor yoga deck and outdoor kitchen

The amenities list covers the usual expectations for JVT: a swimming pool with sun loungers, a kids' pool, a gym and a sauna. Three features stand out from the rest. A gaming room fitted with PlayStation consoles, VR headsets and a large screen clearly targets teenagers and younger tenants. A barbecue area with an outdoor kitchen and open-air dining space rounds out the social offering. Yoga takes place on an outdoor deck rather than in an enclosed room, and a concierge staffs the lobby around the clock.

Sunmarke School two minutes by car

JVT sits at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Khail Road (E44), two routes that connect to Dubai Marina, Business Bay and Expo City. The brochure places Sunmarke School 2 minutes away and Arcadia School 5 minutes away, a direct selling point for expat families. The Novotel and Mövenpick hotels in JVT are 2 minutes away, City Centre Me'aisem is 11 minutes away, and Mall of the Emirates and Circle Mall are 15 minutes away. JBR and Palm Jumeirah remain about twenty minutes out. The upcoming Al Khail Avenue mall, announced with cinemas, supermarkets and hotels, should add to the area's amenities once it opens.

June or September 2027: two dates in circulation

Market data points to a handover date of June 30, 2027, while the brochure refers to key handover arriving in the third quarter of 2027. The gap is small but worth clarifying with the developer before signing. Object One has several projects underway in Dubai at the same time, including AUREL1A Residence in Dubai Sports City and V1STARA House 2 in Al Furjan, all sharing a common signature (the number 1 worked into the name, smart home tech as standard). The tenure is freehold, as is the case throughout JVT. For buyers, Tower 3 is the last phase to come online in the complex, which means the progress of the first two towers can be observed before committing.
