Shams 2

About Shams 2

Shams 2 is a 40‑storey residential tower in the Shams cluster of Jumeirah Beach Residence, a beachfront district along The Walk and the Dubai Marina shoreline. Completed in 2007 by Dubai Properties Group, the tower forms part of a large, mixed-use waterfront community known for its lively promenade, sandy beach access and extensive dining and retail options. Homes in Shams 2 are primarily 1‑ to 4‑bedroom apartments, with a limited number of 4‑bedroom penthouses on upper levels. Typical layouts are generously sized for the area, with many apartments oriented for Marina or sea views. Building quality is consistent with JBR’s high-rise stock from the mid‑2000s, featuring solid construction, floor‑to‑ceiling windows in many units, and practical, family‑friendly floor plans. Residents benefit from a comprehensive amenity offering within the tower, including a fully equipped gym, swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi, children’s play area and an outdoor garden. The building provides 24‑hour security and concierge service, multiple high‑speed elevators, district cooling and dedicated basement parking, with additional visitor parking available nearby. The tower is pet‑friendly, and everyday conveniences—supermarkets, cafés, salons and clinics—are within short walking distance across the JBR podium. The location supports an active, coastal lifestyle. The public beach and waterfront promenades are a few minutes on foot, while Dubai Marina’s yacht berths and leisure venues sit just across the road. Bluewaters Island and its attractions are also close by. For families, several nurseries operate within the immediate area, and a wider selection of schools is reachable by car in surrounding districts. Connectivity is straightforward. Shams 2 links quickly to Sheikh Zayed Road via local access roads, and residents have nearby options on the Dubai Tram with connections to the Dubai Metro for travel to key business hubs such as Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and Downtown Dubai. This combination of beachfront setting, urban amenities and transport access makes Shams 2 a practical choice for those seeking high‑rise living in JBR.
