About Reef Residence
Reef Residence stands in District 13, in the south of Jumeirah Village Circle, close to Sunmarke School and Dubai Autodrome. Main construction ran from July 2014 to November 2017, with National Engineering Bureau as architectural consultant, and the tower has been a lived in address for years.
The 38 storey tower holds 378 homes: studios, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments, served by high speed lifts. Residents share a landscaped leisure deck with two swimming pools, a gym, a children's play area and barbecue areas.
Studios make up the biggest share of the rental contracts registered in the building with the Dubai Land Department, followed by one and two bedroom apartments, and it is one of the busier rental towers in JVC. That makes it a sensible choice for first time buyers and investors after an affordable, easy to let unit.
