Wadi Villas: MBR City Villas from AED 14M with a 10% Down Payment
Wadi Villas is a villa-only development by Arista Properties in District 11, Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Bookings opened in March 2024, and construction started the same month. Completion is scheduled for December 2026. Buyers entering now are roughly four months from the handover date.
What AED 14M to AED 34M Gets You
The price range spans AED 14 million to AED 34 million across three villa configurations. That is a wide spread, but the gap tracks directly to the difference in built area across the three unit types.
The entry point is a 4-bedroom villa at 6,545 sq ft, starting at AED 14 million. That works out to roughly AED 2,140 per sq ft. The 5-bedroom at 8,020 sq ft starts at AED 16 million, a broadly similar rate at around AED 1,995 per sq ft. The top configuration is the 6-bedroom villa at 16,085 sq ft, priced from AED 34 million, or around AED 2,115 per sq ft.
The pricing across units is broadly consistent on a per-square-foot basis. A buyer moving up from the 4-bedroom to the 6-bedroom is paying for footprint, not a tier premium. The 4-bedroom suits a buyer who wants a large family villa at the lowest entry point in this community. The 6-bedroom, at over 16,000 sq ft, is a genuinely large home: more than double the built area of the entry unit, built for buyers whose space requirements and budget sit at the upper end of the range.
District 11, Mohammed Bin Rashid City
District 11 is a villa-focused quarter of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, east of Downtown Dubai along the Meydan Road corridor. Downtown Dubai is about 15 minutes by car. Dubai International Airport is roughly 20 minutes in normal traffic. The district is built around low-density, standalone villa plots.
This location delivers space and quiet within easy reach of the city. The area is primarily residential, without walkable retail or dining. Buyers looking for a large private home in a low-density setting, with a fast commute to Business Bay and DIFC, will find the location practical for that objective. The trade-off relative to a central Dubai address is straightforward: you give up walkability, you gain space and privacy.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Handover | 40% |
The 10% down payment is low for villas in this price bracket. Securing the entry AED 14 million unit requires AED 1.4 million at signing. Securing the 6-bedroom at AED 34 million requires AED 3.4 million upfront.
With completion in December 2026, construction is in its final months. Buyers entering now will find the 50% during-construction installments largely already falling due within a compressed window. The dominant near-term obligation is the 40% due at handover before year end.
What the Amenity Set Says About This Community
| Category | Amenity |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Running Track, Shared Pool |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Infrastructure | Security |
Four shared amenities: a running track, a shared pool, a children's play area, and round-the-clock security.
The set is practical. The running track and pool cover daily fitness and leisure. The children's play area points to a family-oriented buyer profile. A buyer selecting a villa of 6,545 sq ft or more is making most of their lifestyle investment within the private home itself. The shared amenities here complement that rather than compete with it for the buyer's attention.
Handover in December 2026
Construction began in March 2024. Completion is scheduled for December 2026, approximately four months from now. Buyers who entered at launch are close to receiving their homes. For a buyer entering today, the payment schedule is compressed: any outstanding construction installments and the 40% handover balance both fall within the next few months. The timeline leaves little room if completion slips.
