The Cube Residences: Apartments in Mohammed Bin Rashid City
The Cube Residences is an apartment project by Amwaj Development, positioned within Mohammed Bin Rashid City in Dubai. Construction started in October 2024. The handover target is December 31, 2026. Prices run from AED 1,300,000 for one-bedroom units to AED 2,380,000 for the two-bedroom, a mid-range off-plan entry in one of Dubai's central master-planned districts.
What MBR City Delivers for Daily Life
Mohammed Bin Rashid City occupies a central position in Dubai, between Downtown and the Dubai Creek corridor. Al Khail Road runs along its western boundary, connecting residents to Business Bay and Downtown Dubai in roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Dubai International Airport sits east along the same road network. Meydan Racecourse is within the district, and DIFC is within a 15-minute drive.
For a buyer weighing location, MBR City offers direct access to Dubai's commercial core without sitting inside the densest parts of it. The district's master plan includes established parks, open spaces, and leisure infrastructure that is already built out. The combination of central connectivity and established infrastructure serves both daily commuters and buyers planning a long-term hold.
What AED 1.3 Million Gets You Here
All one-bedroom units start at AED 1.3M. The single two-bedroom unit is priced at AED 2,380,000. The spread across the project is driven by bedroom count, not floor area.
The one-bedroom range is notable for how wide the sizes run. Eight 1BR layouts span from 709 sq ft to 1,837 sq ft, all at the same AED 1.3M starting price. That means a buyer at the entry price can choose between a compact 709 sq ft layout and a 1,837 sq ft apartment at identical cost. The largest one-bedroom, Type B at 1,837 sq ft, is bigger in floor area than the two-bedroom at 1,316 sq ft.
The two-bedroom (Type A, 1,316 sq ft) at AED 2,380,000 carries an 83% premium over the one-bedroom starting price. That premium is for the bedroom count, not extra floor area. Buyers choosing between the two should determine which they actually need.
One-Bedroom Layouts in Detail
Eight 1BR layouts cover a range of buyer requirements. Compact formats at 709 to 785 sq ft (Types A, C, D, E, F, G) suit single occupants or couples who prioritize the MBR City location over floor area. The 831 sq ft Type H sits in the practical mid-range. Type B at 1,837 sq ft is the standout: at that size, it exceeds the project's two-bedroom unit in floor area and suits buyers who need a home office, a dedicated guest room, or want space as the primary criterion at the lower price tier. All 1BR units share the same AED 1.3M starting price.
What the Building Offers
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Leisure | Indoor Swimming Pool, Landscaped Parks |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Services | Valet Parking, CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool extends usability through Dubai's summer months when outdoor pool temperatures become impractical for daily use. Valet parking is a service inclusion that points to an active building management model. The children's play area and landscaped parks give the project a family-friendly character. CCTV security provides continuous building monitoring. Taken together, the amenity set is consistent with an owner-occupier buyer profile, particularly families and professional couples.
Handover in Late 2026
Construction started in October 2024 with a scheduled handover on December 31, 2026. An off-plan buyer entering now has roughly 19 months to completion. Construction payments continue through that period, with the largest single payment falling due at handover.
Getting In for 20% Down
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 30% |
| At handover | 50% |
The 20% down payment is the standard off-plan entry point in Dubai. The 30% during-construction payment runs across a roughly 26-month build period, creating a spread of costs before handover. The back-loaded 50% at handover is the largest single commitment: AED 650,000 for a one-bedroom and AED 1,190,000 for the two-bedroom. Mortgage-backed purchases need financing in place before December 2026 to cover that balance.
