99 Parkplace

99 Parkplace was scheduled for completion in 2025. That date has passed, which makes this a different proposition from most of what sits in an off-plan catalogue. The building either stands finished or is within weeks of it, and anyone considering it can do something no off-plan buyer can: walk in and look.

102 homes over six floors

The building runs six storeys with 102 apartments, covering studios from around 416 sq ft, one-bedrooms from 737 and two-bedrooms from 1,300, with entry pricing that opened near 630,000 dirhams. Those two-bedroom sizes are generous by JVC standards, and the amenity set points the same way: a zero-entry pool at podium level, a children’s water park and jacuzzi, a panoramic pool and sun deck above, an outdoor cinema, playground and barbecue areas, with concierge, lobby lounge, business centre and wellness facilities inside. This is a building aimed at people living in it rather than at investors buying the smallest available box.

What to inspect in a finished JVC building

Once a building is complete the useful questions change entirely, and all of them can be answered in an hour on site. Ride the lift at eight in the morning and time it. Walk the corridors and look at the paint, the carpet and the door frames, because six months of wear tells you how the place will read in five years. Count the cars in the parking at nine at night, which gives a truer picture of occupancy than any brochure. See whether the pool is in use or sitting empty. Ask the security desk how many units are short-let. Check what is under construction on the neighbouring plots and how long it has left to run. None of that is available on an off-plan purchase, and all of it is decisive.

Confirm the numbers before anything else

Published figures for this project vary more than usual. Entry pricing has been quoted from around 630,000 dirhams, and payment schedules have appeared in more than one version, including one opening at ten per cent and another at forty. On a building that has reached or passed its handover date these differences matter in a particular way, because what is available now may be remaining developer stock, resale inventory, or a mix, and the terms differ between them. Establish which you are being offered before discussing price at all. Gorilla Real Estate can confirm the delivery status, identify what is genuinely available and pull the rents that comparable units in the building are already achieving.
