Where Meydan builds

Meydan City Meydan City Meydan City is a residential district in Dubai, located close to the Meydan Racecourse, and comes from the Arabic language for ‘meeting place’. The district consists of a mix of low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise buildings with both villas, apartments and offices with retail space in the area, with all buildings and interiors in the area, designed in an oriental style. The total area of the district is 40 million sq. ft. and is a convenient place to live and work. Meydan was initially developed from a small residential area located in the heart of Nad Al Sheba into the real metropolis that it is today. The district hosts world-renowned events every year. AED 2.50m Area median AED 2,671 per sq. ft. MBR City MBR City Mohammed Bin Rashid City, or MBR City, is a freehold master community developed by Meydan Group, located minutes from Downtown Dubai. Launched in 2012, the area is divided into several residential districts, each with its own developer and identity. District One focuses on waterfront villas and mansions, Sobha Hartland combines apartment towers with villas, while Meydan includes family communities around the racecourse and golf course. The masterplan covers more than 54 million sq. ft. and was designed as one of Dubai’s largest mixed-use developments. Alongside residential districts, MBR City includes retail, hospitality, leisure and recreational destinations, with Meydan serving as a key part of the wider masterplan. MBR City remains one of Dubai’s strongest residential markets due to its central location and steady pipeline of new developments. The community includes both completed neighbourhoods, such as Sobha Hartland and much of District One, and off-plan projects including District One West and Sobha Hartland 2, with handovers continuing through 2028. The continued release of new phases has helped maintain buyer demand while expanding housing options. Waterfront villas around the Crystal Lagoon remain the area’s premium segment, while apartments in Sobha Hartland continue to attract buyers looking for newer homes close to Downtown Dubai. AED 1.32m Area median AED 2,397 per sq. ft. Nad Al Sheba Nad Al Sheba Nad Al Sheba is a deeply established residential powerhouse in Dubai, strategically positioned south of Dubai Creek and intensely bordering Meydan and Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Officially divided into four sub-communities (Nad Al Sheba 1 to 4), it is globally celebrated for housing the monumental Meydan Racecourse (home to the elite Dubai World Cup) and The Meydan Hotel. The real estate portfolio features ultra-spacious luxury villas (heavily showcasing Mediterranean and Moroccan styles), newer aggressive townhouse mega-projects like Nad Al Sheba Gardens, and a highly selective number of apartments in Nad Al Sheba 1. Nakheel has strongly anchored massive villa developments here. Flawlessly positioned along Al Ain Road (E66) with rapid links to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, it strictly places Downtown Dubai within an incredibly fast 15-20 minute drive. It is a strictly car-oriented sanctuary for affluent families demanding massive space immediately outside central Dubai. AED 12.35m Area median AED 2,076 per sq. ft. District 11 (MBR City) District 11 (MBR City) District 11 is an exclusive low-density residential sub-district within Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City) in south-eastern Dubai, master-developed by the Meydan Group. Strategically situated at the convergence of Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), it borders Nad Al Sheba and Meydan near Sobha Hartland. Organized as a gated, family-friendly community across distinct parcels, its key sub-projects include Meydan Heights South (Parcel A) and The Fields. All residences offer 100% freehold ownership to all nationalities. It sits roughly 15-20 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 27 minutes from Dubai International Airport. AED 14m Area median Al Safa Al Safa Al Safa is a deeply established, low-rise residential enclave in Dubai, officially divided into Al Safa 1 and 2, elegantly bordering Sheikh Zayed Road near Jumeirah. The community is predominantly defined by ultra-spacious luxury villas and secure compounds (three- to six-bedroom layouts), complemented by a highly selective number of low-rise apartments set along mature, tree-lined avenues. Its most famous landmark is the sprawling Safa Park, while the stunning Dubai Water Canal cuts right along its edge. Flawlessly serviced by Red Line metro stations and local buses, it commands rapid access to City Walk, Downtown Dubai, and Jumeirah’s pristine beaches. It is the ultimate choice for families seeking a mature, central address near the coast. AED 2.10m Area median Sheikh Zayed Road Sheikh Zayed Road The Sheikh Zayed Road is the main road artery in the emirate of Dubai, and is also the longest, with a length of 55 kilometers. The highway did not have an official name until 1990, as back then people called it the “Dubai – Abu Dhabi Road”. After reconstruction in the 1990’s, the road was significantly widened, and roundabouts were replaced with road exits and junctions. The highway was then named after the first President of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. AED 1.77m Area median AED 5,435 per sq. ft. Sobha Hartland Sobha Hartland Sobha Hartland heavily dictates the luxury market as an ultra-premium, freehold waterfront masterplan executed by Sobha Realty in Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City). Dominating an incredible 8 million sq ft directly at the massive intersection of Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66), it radically prioritizes nature—dedicating a staggering 30% of its footprint to lush open green space and direct Dubai Water Canal frontage. The property matrix forcefully delivers high-yield studios, premium 1-3 bedroom apartments, sprawling penthouses, and colossal 4-6 bedroom mansions. Flawlessly housing elite international schools and sitting close to Downtown Dubai and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, it completely corners the market for central, low-density luxury.   Sobha Hartland is a freehold community that has reached a mature stage, with most of the original development completed and handed over. The market includes ready properties with an established resale history alongside newer off-plan opportunities, with apartments representing the main segment of transactions. The area is still receiving major investment, with Sobha Hartland 2 expanding the wider residential destination and Hartland Mall adding a major retail facility. Sobha Realty has maintained control over most of the development, including design and construction, creating consistency across the community’s projects. The reports below track apartment resale activity in Sobha Hartland, including transaction volumes and average price per square foot. AED 1.26m Area median AED 2,127 per sq. ft.
