V1STARA House

In Al Furjan, Object One bets on ceiling height and larger families

V1STARA House is being marketed with 3.10 metres between floor and ceiling. In Dubai's new residential supply, most mid-market towers fall well short of that figure. The tower sits on Al Asayel Street in Al Furjan and holds 133 units spread across fourteen residential floors. The unit mix runs from one-bedroom apartments up to a "three-and-a-half bedroom" layout, which makes this a more family-oriented product than most recent launches in the area. Handover is set for the first quarter of 2027, with a target date of 30 March. The name comes from the Sanskrit word "vistara," meaning "expansion," and the interior design is said to draw on Indian philosophy.

Only six to eleven apartments per floor

According to the brochure, each typical floor holds between 6 and 11 units. With 133 units in total, that's a fairly low density for a fourteen-storey residential tower. In practical terms, it means shorter waits for lifts and quieter corridors than in towers in JVC or JVT, where more than fifteen doors per floor is common. The 3.10-metre ceilings come on top of floor-to-ceiling windows, and the combination makes the space feel larger than the floor plans alone would suggest. For a landlord, both points are easy to verify during a site visit.

"Half" bedrooms paired with three or four bathrooms

The unit mix stands out for its generous layouts. Two-and-a-half bedroom apartments come with three full bathrooms (one with a bathtub) plus a guest toilet. Three-and-a-half bedroom units have four bathrooms, two of them with a bathtub, along with a guest toilet and a dedicated walk-in closet. The "half bedroom" typically works as a home office, maid's room or storage space. Even the one-bedroom unit has a full bathroom and a separate guest toilet. This level of bathroom provision is clearly aimed at expat families planning to stay several years, including the South Asian buyer base that is well represented in this part of Dubai South.

Separate gyms and prayer rooms

The podium houses most of the amenities, and one detail stands out: both the gym and the prayer room come in two versions, one for men and one for women. This is still uncommon in buildings of this size, and it answers to real demand from families who are reluctant to use mixed-gender spaces. Outside, a lagoon-style pool with sun loungers sits alongside a children's pool, a barbecue area, two outdoor lounges and a table tennis table. Indoors, residents get a cinema room, a clubhouse, a games room, a sauna and an indoor kids' play area. The overall offer stays at building scale, without trying to compete with a neighbourhood club.

Eight retail units at ground level on Al Asayel Street

The ground floor plan includes eight retail units around the main lobby, with a separate entrance for the parking. Two basement levels and two podium levels provide covered parking, four levels in total. Al Furjan metro station and The Pavilion mall are said to be five minutes away, Ibn Battuta Mall twelve minutes. Several schools sit within a short radius, including Ghaf Private School, Dove Green and The Arbor School, along with nurseries such as Redwood Montessori. The planned Dubai Green Spine corridor, which is meant to run through this area, should eventually add parks and walking paths.

Smart lock with three tiers of virtual keys

Every unit comes with a home automation system controlling lighting, music, temperature and security. The front door can be opened from a smartphone or smartwatch. Owners can hand out three tiers of virtual keys to family members, guests or service providers. A log keeps track of every entry and exit. For an investor who hands the property over to a management company or rents it out remotely, this feature simplifies key handovers and makes it easier to track who comes and goes.

Object One keeps building out its numbered naming series

Object One Real Estate Development signs its projects with a "1" worked into the name, as seen in LUM1NAR, TETR1S, ESSENL1FE and AUREL1A. The developer has so far concentrated its activity in JVC, JVT and Dubai Sports City, and V1STARA House marks its entry into Al Furjan. The freehold area already attracts several developers building to similar scale. Here, the difference lies less in the facade than in what's inside: ceiling height, bathroom count and low density per floor. It remains to be seen, as March 2027 approaches, whether the announced timeline holds.
