Velos Residence: Motor City Apartments at AED 805K to AED 1.9M
CITYVIEW Developments is behind Velos Residence, a new apartment building in Motor City, Dubai. The developer broke ground in July 2025, and handover is scheduled for June 2028. That puts any buyer entering now roughly three years from delivery.
Motor City is a residential district in southwest Dubai, established over the past two decades as a mid-market alternative to more central locations. It runs along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, giving solid road access to the main urban corridors: roughly 20 minutes to Dubai Marina, 25 minutes to Downtown Dubai, and 30 to 35 minutes to Dubai International Airport depending on traffic. The Dubai Autodrome sits within the district. Retail, restaurants, and green space sit alongside the residential stock, creating a largely self-contained environment. The character is suburban and low-density. That suits residents who want space and quiet without a long commute to the major employment hubs.
What AED 805K to AED 1.9M Buys You Here
The price range spans nearly AED 1.1 million from floor to ceiling. The driver is the unit mix. Studios start at AED 805,777 and cover 357 to 489 sq ft. One-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,233,777, ranging from 669 to 897 sq ft depending on layout. Two-bedroom units start at AED 1,923,777, with areas between 991 and 1,234 sq ft.
The studio price puts the project in a segment that typically attracts investors as much as owner-occupiers. The price step from studio to one-bedroom is roughly AED 428,000, a gap wide enough that buyers prioritising budget will stay in the studio tier. Moving from one-bed to two-bed adds another AED 690,000. The two-bedroom buyer is generally a family or someone who needs a dedicated work space and can absorb the premium. At AED 1,923,777, the two-bed entry sits in the mid-market price band for Dubai apartment developments.
Studios, One-Beds, and Two-Beds
All units are apartments. The project carries multiple layout variants within each bedroom category, and unit sizes vary across layouts even at the same bedroom count. Studios range from 357 sq ft to 489 sq ft, all at the same starting price, so a buyer at entry level can prioritise a larger unit without paying a premium. One-bedroom layouts range from 669 sq ft to 897 sq ft at the same starting price, offering similar flexibility.
What the Amenities Tell You
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Leisure & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Green Space | Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| F&B | Restaurants |
| Safety | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the standout feature. Outdoor pools are more common across Dubai's apartment stock, and Dubai's summer heat limits their usability for several months of the year. An indoor pool removes that constraint entirely. Paired with the gymnasium, the building covers core fitness needs in-house. The rest of the set, a children's play area, landscaped gardens, and an on-site restaurant, paints a clear picture of the target resident: family-oriented, planning to stay long-term, and not focused on short-stay rental returns.
Three Years to Handover
Construction started July 2025. Expected completion is June 2028. Groundwork has been underway for roughly a year. A buyer entering now is committing off-plan with approximately two to three years remaining until handover. For an investor, rental income is roughly three years out. For an end-user, current housing arrangements will continue until mid-2028.
Getting In at 20%
Velos Residence offers two payment paths, both starting at the same entry point.
| Stage | Option 1 | Option 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% | 20% |
| During construction | 15% | 20% |
| On handover | 65% | 60% |
The 20% down payment is standard for Dubai off-plan. Option 1 keeps the construction installment at 15%, reducing the cash outflow during the build. Option 2 spreads more into the construction period, trimming the handover balance to 60%. Either way, the bulk of the purchase price falls due at handover in 2028. The full balance is payable at keys with no subsequent installment schedule.
