Business Bay · RKM Real Estate and Dar Global Properties
Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive. Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published: they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
Located in Business Bay, completed in 2021. Developer — RKM Real Estate and Dar Global Properties. Architect — QHC Architects & Engineers.
J One is a residential complex of several buildings in Business Bay, completed in 2021.
The developer is RKM Real Estate and Dar Global Properties. The architecture is by QHC Architects & Engineers.
The complex holds 347 apartments in total. The tallest tower rises 20 storeys. Layouts, according to the developer's brochure — 1 and 2 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 2 lots in this project, from 1 650 000 AED; 2 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 26%.
Two blocks totalling 347 apartments in Business Bay, handed over in 2021. A joint project by RKM and Dar Global, with one- and two-bedroom apartments.
J One is a multi-block residential complex in Business Bay. The property record lists 20 storeys and 347 apartments, developers RKM Real Estate and Dar Global Properties, architecture by QHC Architects & Engineers, and handover in 2021. Confirmed amenities: a pool, a gym, security, a retail gallery and restaurants.
The catalogue mix is one- and two-bedroom apartments. That's a practical cut for Business Bay: the district runs on rental turnover, and most of it happens in small and mid-sized formats.
Twenty storeys is mid-range for Business Bay. The building isn't competing for a panorama with its neighbouring skyscrapers, and its price is set not by the view but by its position within the district and the condition of the unit.
Business Bay is one of the densest districts in the city, and its buildings differ more than the map suggests. Three parameters matter most: walking distance to the canal, whether there's a retail gallery and restaurants in the building itself, and what the view is blocked by.
J One settles two of those three from the property record: the complex has a gallery and restaurants. That noticeably raises convenience for a tenant, and it usually shows up in the rate.
The building was handed over five years ago, which is a convenient age: the engineering is still fairly new, but a history of deals and rates has already built up. Compare your unit against actual contracts inside the complex itself — with 347 apartments, there's enough data to evaluate against.
First, which block and which side. In a multi-block development, some apartments face an internal courtyard and some face the street, and in a dense district that's a meaningful difference.
Second, the community fee (Dubai's term for the building's service charge — the annual per-square-foot cost of upkeep). A complex with a gallery and restaurants costs more to maintain than a plain building; ask for the figure per foot per year and compare it against neighbours.
Third, the unit's condition. After five years of active rental, wear on the finishes varies between units, and listings rarely reflect that.

20 — that is the tallest building of the complex. The complex has 347 apartments.
Yes, the building was handed over in 2021. This is ready housing: you can move in or let it out right after the deal.
1-bedroom and 2-bedroom, according to the developer's brochure. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
Business Bay. The canal district next to Downtown: conceived as offices, built mostly as apartments, now one of the most tenanted parts of the city.
The database currently holds 2 lots in this project, from 1 650 000 AED; 2 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 26%. The list changes daily — I will send a fresh selection for the building on request.
Swimming pool, Gym, 24/7 security, Shops, Restaurants. The list comes from the project description and covers the whole complex.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Business Bay
ValuStrat's Dubai index for September 2026 stood at 218.6, down 0.1% on the month and 4.5% on the year. 80% of villa and 77% of apartment communities saw no change. Off-plan took 70.3% of sales, led by Majan and JVC.
Berkeley Tower is Ellington Properties' AED 2.8 billion office tower in Business Bay: 60 floors above ground, 109 offices, an indicative AED 4,300–4,800 per sq ft, a 70/30 payment plan and handover in Q3 2030.
A shell and core office comes without floors, ceilings or partitions. It is cheaper than a fitted unit, but in our Business Bay model a 1,550 sq ft office needed AED 620,000 of fit-out, about AED 400 per sq ft, and 4–6 months without a tenant.
Dubai’s tallest completed residential tower is Princess Tower: 414 metres, 101 floors, 2013. Seven of the top ten stand in Dubai Marina. Taller ones are rising: Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co at 557 m, Tiger Sky Tower at 532 m, Six Senses Marina at 517 m.
Selling before handover returns 25% on capital if prices rise 10% and you have paid 40%. Renting pays 5.5–6.5% net every year. Flipping a villa: buy at AED 12.5m, spend 3m, sell from 19m. Three Dubai strategies compared on cash, time and risk.
Five mistakes Dubai property investors repeat: trusting the 8% listing yield when the net is 6.7%, comparing prices instead of payment plans, buying the district not the building, entering with no exit plan, and believing a guaranteed 7%.
Business Bay recorded 14 prime transactions in August 2026 against Palm Jumeirah's 10 — while Dubai-wide transaction volume fell 37% year-on-year and value fell 44%. Rental search demand rose 44% over the same period. What these seemingly contradictory numbers actually mean.
Corinthia Dubai, twin towers above 500 m on Sheikh Zayed Road with a rooftop pool and a Corinthia hotel, is due by 2030. Al Habtoor Group has announced an AED 5bn ($1.36bn) office tower in Al Habtoor City. What the two projects say about the market and who should care.
Omniyat bought a reclaimed island in Marasi Bay to build the Burj Khalifa district's only urban beach club and Sunset Park, a private floating island for VELA Viento residents. In March 2026 it priced a $600m sukuk at 7.25% and said its $11.7bn launched portfolio is fully funded to completion.
