Opal by Crystal is a chamber-like residential complex by Crystal Group located in the heart of Jumeirah Village Circle. The project is inspired by the aesthetics of precious gemstones. Just as opal refracts light and reveals its sophisticated hues, the tower conveys the architectural idea of ‘quiet luxury’ through its rounded shapes, expressive balconies, rich colours and textures reminiscent of vintage modernism.
The residential complex covers 24,892 sqft (2,313 m²), including a ground floor and four residential storeys. The lower level is designed in a townhouse style, with a double-height lobby, parking spaces and entrances to the residences. There are 96 residences in total in the project — property at Opal by Crystal comprises 41 studios, 54 one-bedroom apartments and a single three-bedroom layout on the top floor. The size varies from 337 sqft (31 m²) to 1,073 sqft (100 m²). The living spaces are focused on minimalism, comfort and light. The studios feature fold-down beds, while the one-bedroom units have guest bathrooms, laundry niches and private sleep and relaxation zones. At the same time, the layouts remain compact and functional. All residences are equipped with a smart home system for controlling lighting, climate and security.
The main tone in the design of the apartments at Opal by Crystal is set by a matte eggshell paint colour, complemented by striking accents and tactile materials. The finishes include porcelain stoneware floors with a marble texture, veneer and laminated panels, stone countertops and premium tile backsplashes. Built-in Bosch or similar category appliances, kitchen modules with hidden storage, soft ceiling skirting boards with integrated smart lighting — all this allows you to easily adapt your home to your personal taste. Furniture is available at the buyer's request — this option is arranged individually at a fixed price and depends on the unit type.
The infrastructure of Opal by Crystal is designed with an emphasis on comfort — there is a two-level car park, EV charging stations, an elegant lobby, a fitness room, a steam room and showers, a 28-metre swimming pool with a lounge area, a dedicated children's pool and playground, as well as an outdoor padel tennis court and a multifunctional area for socialising or events. The recreation areas are framed by green landscaping and sophisticated lighting.
The location of Opal by Crystal at JVC is one of the project's strong points. The area is already well-established, with Circle Mall, Spinneys supermarket, Cinépolis cinema, dozens of cafés, pharmacies and local shops. Within a 10-minute drive are JSS International School and Sunmarke School, medical centres, parks and beauty salons. Convenient access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Hessa Street provides quick links to key areas of the emirate. Dubai Hills Mall is a 10-minute drive away, Dubai Marina is 15 minutes away, Downtown Dubai is 20 minutes away, and DXB Airport is 25 minutes away. This prime location generates stable interest from buyers and tenants for properties at JVC.
In terms of investment, Jumeirah Village Circle is one of the top three most popular areas in Dubai in terms of the number of deals. This is due to the moderate entry threshold and high profitability. According to 2024 data, the average ROI of apartments at JVC is 7-8% per annum. Stable rental demand, low vacancy rates and ongoing infrastructure expansion support capitalisation growth.
The win-win set of factors makes buying property at Opal by Crystal at an early stage a wise investment decision, with the prospect of growth by the time the project is completed. Starting prices for studios in the development are 650 000 AED (177 000 $), and for one-bedroom apartments are 995 000 AED (270 900 $). The financial terms of buying are reasonable — a flexible 20/80 installment plan, where 20% is paid upfront and 80% upon handover. Construction is scheduled for completion in Q4 2027.
