Type A Villas in District One Phase III: Entering a Completed Community
District One Phase III sits inside Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), one of Dubai's largest master developments. The Phase III Type A villas are sold by District One, the developer behind the broader community. Phase III is the later-stage residential release within that plan, available in four, five, and six-bedroom configurations under the Type A villa layout.
Inside MBR City: 10 Minutes from Downtown Dubai
Mohammed Bin Rashid City runs east of Downtown Dubai, with Al Khail Road as the main access route. From District One, the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa corridor are roughly 10 to 15 minutes by car. Business Bay and DIFC sit in the same direction. Dubai International Airport is approximately 20 minutes in the other direction.
MBR City sits between the high-density central districts and Dubai's outer residential zones. District One is a gated sub-community within that master development. The gate creates a private living environment while keeping the commercial core within easy reach. The location suits buyers who want residential-scale living within a short drive of Dubai's major employment and retail hubs.
For investors, the gated structure and the MBR City address position this product in the established premium villa segment of the Dubai market.
AED 8 Million: One Price, Three Bedroom Options
The listed price is AED 8,000,000 across all configurations. Phase III offers the Type A layout in 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom, and 6-bedroom options at this price.
The 4-bedroom villa suits families who want the District One address without the scale of a larger home. The 5 and 6-bedroom villas serve larger households or buyers who want more space within the same community and price bracket. With all three configurations at the same listed price, the bedroom count becomes a decision about space rather than affordability.
Amenities: Built for Family Living
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Shared Pool, Children's Pool, Barbecue Area |
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Safety | Security |
Six amenities is a focused residential package. The children's pool is a specific inclusion that marks the community's target resident. The barbecue area and landscaped gardens support outdoor living at the household and community level. The gymnasium provides an in-community fitness option without requiring residents to leave the gated perimeter. Taken together, the amenity set is built around family living within a managed, secure environment.
Past the Off-Plan Stage: Completion Was December 2023
Construction started in October 2021. The scheduled completion was December 30, 2023, which is now more than two years past. This project has moved through the construction phase. Buyers entering now are purchasing a community that exists in its finished form, not an active off-plan development.
The roads, landscaping, common facilities, and security infrastructure should be in their completed state. That distinguishes this purchase from a conventional off-plan commitment, where the delivered product is a future event.
Getting In at 10%: A Back-Loaded Structure
| Payment stage | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 50% |
The 10% down payment is low for a villa at this price point. The structure is back-loaded: 50% of the purchase price falls at handover. On an AED 8 million villa, that is AED 4 million in a single transfer at the point of title change. The construction-period instalments spread the remaining 40% across the build, but the dominant cash event falls at the end. With the scheduled handover in December 2023 now elapsed, the original construction-period schedule has run its course.
