An apartment building of 326 units, completed in 2014

Fortunato was completed in 2014, and Dubai Land Department's completion date for the building is 2014-12-14. Nakheel developed it. The building has 326 units, and it holds studios, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments.

A building that has been finished for years has an advantage over one still being built: you can see what has happened to it. Look at the lobby, the corridors, the lifts and the pool, and judge how well they are kept. Condition after a decade of use tells you more than a brochure ever could, so spend time on it during the viewing.

What sellers were asking in October 2026

These are asking prices from listings, not sale prices. In October 2026:

A studio was listed at an asking price of AED 600,000, for a size of 425 sq ft. This was the only studio listing seen in the latest 90 days.
One-bedroom apartments were listed at typical asking prices of AED 883,000 to AED 975,000, for typical sizes of 850 to 978 sq ft. There were 7 listings.

This guide quotes asking prices for studios and one-bedroom apartments. For two-bedroom or larger apartments, ask for the current listings and confirm the size and layout of each unit with the seller, since a listing is the seller's own description. Seven one-bedroom listings is also a small sample, so one apartment priced well above or below the rest can change the picture. Ask how long an apartment has been on the market and whether the price has moved.

The 15 sales Dubai Land Department recorded in the building

In the past 12 months, Dubai Land Department recorded 15 sales in Fortunato. The latest was on 2026-06-19, and the median price per sq ft across those 15 sales was AED 869.43.

Fifteen sales across a building of 326 units is a modest number, and a median covers every apartment type and floor together. Treat it as a rough guide and not a price for the apartment you are viewing. For a specific apartment, ask for registered sales of the same type in this building, with their dates.

Large pool, health club and trails: the shared facilities

The building has:

a large swimming pool
a gymnasium
a health club
children's play areas
gardens
walking trails
jogging trails
cycling trails
24-hour security
CCTV surveillance

Ask how these work in practice. For the pool, find out the opening hours and the rules for guests. For the gym and the health club, ask whether the equipment is maintained and whether any part of the club is charged separately. For the trails, take a walk along them yourself, since a path that looks good on a plan can be quiet at one hour and busy at another.

Covered and basement parking

Fortunato has covered parking and basement parking. That is useful to know before you view, but what matters is how many bays come with the apartment in front of you and whether they are assigned. Ask where the bay is, how you reach it from the lift, and where visitors park. Many households have more than one car, so confirm what happens if you need a second bay.

Where Fortunato sits in JVC

Jumeirah Village Circle lies between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Khail Road (E44), and the building is part of it. JVC is a community of residential buildings, with shops, cafes and clinics spread through it.

Drive the routes you would use at the hours you would use them, such as your commute or the school run, because traffic changes a lot through the day.

Jumeirah Village Circle in registered transactions

These figures are for the whole of Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), not for Fortunato. Over the latest 12 months, Dubai Land Department recorded 17,285 sales in the area, 11,734 of them off-plan and 5,551 in completed buildings, at a median of AED 1,502.24 per sq ft. The most recent was on 2026-05-12. In the same period it registered 11,139 rental contracts in the area, with a median annual rent of AED 70,000.

Most of the sales counted were off-plan, which is a different kind of purchase from a completed apartment in this building. An area median also mixes studios with larger apartments, older buildings with newer ones, and low floors with high ones. Use the numbers as background, and ask for dated figures from this building before you make an offer. Sale records show what was registered, not what any apartment is worth today.

A viewing checklist for Fortunato

The building is finished, so you can check what you are being offered. Take this list with you.

Ask for the apartment's floor plan, floor number and exact size, and check them against the title deed or the sales contract.
If you are buying, ask to see the title deed and confirm that the seller's name matches the owner on it.
Ask for the owners' association service charge budget for the building and what the charge covers, including the pool, gym and health club.
Ask which parking bay comes with the apartment, whether it is covered or in the basement, and where visitors park.
Visit at different times, such as a weekday morning and a weekend evening, to see how long the lifts take and how busy the pool and gardens are.
Check the kitchen, the bathrooms, the air conditioning and the windows, and look at what the windows face.
Walk the trails and the gardens, and look at how the common areas are kept.
Ask for registered sales of the same apartment type in the building, with their dates, and treat asking prices as a starting point only.
If you are renting, ask in writing what the rent includes. After you sign, register the tenancy in Ejari and keep the contract, the Ejari certificate and every payment receipt.
If you are buying, complete the transfer through Dubai Land Department and check that the new title deed carries your name.
