Nest Residence: Getting In for 10% Down
AED 417,190 to AED 799,750. Apartments in International City, secured with a 10% down payment. Andi Properties is building this residential development in one of Dubai's more established, affordable districts. Construction is underway and handover is expected by 31 March 2027.
That 10% entry point shapes everything else about this project. It affects who can buy, how much capital they need to commit upfront, and what the cash flow looks like through construction.
International City: What Living Here Means in Practice
International City sits in Dubai's eastern corridor. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road connect it to the rest of the city. The area has retail, dining, and community infrastructure already built out. Dragon Mart is nearby. Commutes to Downtown Dubai or Business Bay take roughly 30 to 40 minutes by road. Dubai International Airport sits under 20 minutes away.
For a buyer who works in the east of the city or near the airport, the location is genuinely practical. The district offers a lower price floor than central Dubai communities, which makes it a natural fit for first-time buyers and investors looking for accessible entry points.
What AED 417K to AED 800K Buys You Here
Prices run from AED 417,190 to AED 799,750, all for apartments. The spread of nearly AED 383,000 reflects unit size. Studios and smaller one-bedrooms sit at the lower end. Larger one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms reach toward the ceiling.
At AED 417K, a buyer gets into an established, connected community at a price that leaves room in the budget for other commitments. At AED 800K, a buyer gets a larger apartment in the same location, still well below what equivalent square footage costs in central Dubai.
Who This Project Suits
All units are apartments. The price spread makes this project relevant to more than one buyer profile. At the lower end: a solo professional or investor wanting a compact unit with a manageable purchase price. At the upper end: a small family or buyer prioritizing space over centrality. The location supports demand from both.
Six Amenities, From Pool to Play Area
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Leisure | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Green Space | Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The amenity set covers the core needs of a residential building at this price level: fitness, outdoor space, family facilities, and on-site dining. The indoor swimming pool adds year-round usability that outdoor pools cannot offer. The children's play area and landscaped gardens point toward a project built with families and owner-occupiers in mind, not purely buy-to-leave investors.
Getting In for 10%: The Payment Plan
| Milestone | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 10% |
| During Construction | 85% |
| At Handover | 5% |
The 10% down payment means roughly AED 42,000 to AED 80,000 to secure a unit, depending on which you choose. The 85% spreads across the construction period, keeping installments predictable over the build timeline. The final 5% clears at handover, with no post-handover installment plan. The full purchase price settles by the time you receive keys.
Q1 2027: Where the Project Stands
Construction at Nest Residence began in September 2025. The expected handover date is 31 March 2027, roughly five months from now. The project is well into its build cycle. Buyers entering now face a shorter remaining construction timeline than those who committed at launch. The remaining installments concentrate in the final stretch before handover.
