Oak Yard at a glance
Oak Yard
is an off-plan residential project by One Yard in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai. The development is marketed through Oliva, a RERA-licensed buyer-side brokerage (BRN 1573501). On off-plan purchases, the developer pays Oliva's commission and the buyer pays nothing for representation. The published price position is heavily oriented to apartments under AED 2,500,000: 55 of the 57 priced units sit at or below that threshold, with one-bedroom units starting at AED 1,133,058.
Handover
is targeted for January 2027. The payment plan is back-loaded: 20 percent on booking, 30 percent after booking and 50 percent upon handover. Because the 'after booking' milestone is not tied to a dated milestone in the available facts, buyers should confirm exactly when the second instalment falls due before committing.
The unit mix comprises 28 one-bedroom and 29 two-bedroom units, though the overall project size is not stated in the current listing data. Buyers should confirm the total number of units, common facilities and service charge framework directly with the developer.
Pricing breakdown
The one-bedroom stock comprises 28 units with listed prices between AED 1,133,058 and AED 1,492,577. Sizes range from 662.94 to 962.40 square feet. This is the cheapest entry point in the published table.
The two-bedroom stock comprises 29 units with listed prices from AED 1,680,218 to AED 7,030,321. Sizes range from 1,021.71 to 5,645.13 square feet. The upper end is considerably higher than the AED 2,500,000 threshold, but the table does not break down how many two-bedroom units exceed that level.
Across both bedroom types, 57 priced units are listed. Of these, 55 are priced at or under AED 2,500,000. The overall price range is AED 1,133,058 to AED 7,030,321. Buyers seeking to stay below the AED 2,500,000 mark will find the vast majority of published units qualify, but they should confirm the final price including any floor or view premiums before making an offer.
The payment schedule
The main payment plan has three milestones: 20 percent on booking, 30 percent after booking and 50 percent upon handover. Handover is targeted for January 2027. This structure keeps the largest cash outflow until the end of the project, which can suit buyers who want time before the final payment, but it also means a substantial balance is due around the time the unit is delivered.
The 'after booking' milestone is not assigned a specific number of days or a date in the published project facts. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of when the 30 percent instalment becomes due and what triggers the payment. Without that date, the actual front-end cash requirement cannot be fully assessed.
The JVC (Jumeirah Village Circle) setting
Oak Yard is located in JVC (Jumeirah Village Circle), a residential district in Dubai. The project's published facts do not include area-level aggregates such as average prices or rents, so this review cannot compare Oak Yard's pricing against a JVC benchmark. Buyers should verify access to road networks, community facilities, retail and schools independently, and should check how the specific plot within JVC affects daily travel.
Because JVC is a built-up community, the practical experience depends on the specific location. Visit the site, test the access at peak times and request the current RERA community information before relying on any location advantage.

Due diligence checklist
Escrow. Verify that the project's escrow account is registered with the Dubai Land Department under Dubai Law No. (8) of 2007. Before transferring any funds, ask One Yard for the escrow account details and confirm them directly with DLD. Do not pay into a non-escrow account.
Oqood. Confirm that the sale is registered with Oqood (the DLD's off-plan property registration system) after signing the sales and purchase agreement. This gives the buyer a registered interest and is a standard item to verify.
Service charges. No service charge figure is published in the Oak Yard facts. Service charges are set through the RERA-approved owners association budget and are typically confirmed closer to handover. Ask the developer for the current estimated budget and confirm how charges are allocated across the building.
Handover date. The published handover window is January 2027. Off-plan completion dates can shift, so confirm the final contractual handover date in the sale and purchase agreement and verify any compensation or extension provisions.
Payment plan enforceability. The stated plan is 20 percent on booking, 30 percent after booking and 50 percent upon handover. Check that these percentages are written into the contract and confirm the trigger for the second instalment. A verbal or marketing summary is not the same as a binding payment schedule.
Our read
Oak Yard presents a simple off-plan offer in JVC with a price range that starts at AED 1,133,058 and places 55 of 57 priced units at or under AED 2,500,000. That makes it relevant for buyers whose budget is capped at that threshold and who are comfortable with a back-loaded payment plan. The two-bedroom upper range extends to AED 7,030,321, so the project is not uniformly entry-level; buyers must check the specific unit's price.
The lack of area-level benchmarks and total unit count means the location and project scale need independent due diligence. For a per-unit view, Oliva's free underwriting report delivers a buy or do-not-buy verdict on a specific unit, using the unit's price, payment plan and project facts.
