Mayfair Gardens, Al Satwa: Central Dubai Apartments at 10% Down
Majid Developments is building Mayfair Gardens in Al Satwa, one of Dubai's most centrally located residential districts. Construction began in August 2024 and handover is targeted for August 2026, roughly two months away. The entry point is 10% down, which sits at the low end of Dubai's off-plan market.
Al Satwa: What the Address Delivers
Al Satwa sits just off Sheikh Zayed Road, between Jumeirah and the World Trade Centre. It is one of Dubai's older established districts: low-rise residential stock, retail at street level, and a density of daily services that newer master-planned communities are still building toward. Groceries, pharmacies, cafes, and local restaurants are within walking distance of most addresses in the area. The neighbourhood borders Jumeirah 1, which puts it a short drive from the beach.
The commute case is direct. Downtown Dubai is roughly 10 minutes by car. Dubai International Airport is around 20 minutes. The DIFC and Business Bay employment cluster sits close enough that Al Satwa is practical for anyone working along Dubai's main commercial spine. Sheikh Zayed Road is immediately accessible, and metro connections are within walking distance.
For investors, the district's central position supports a professional tenant base. Al Satwa has existing schools, clinics, retail, and community infrastructure in place. That infrastructure is already there. A tenant renting here gets a complete neighbourhood, not a construction site with promises.
Priced at AED 1.856 Million
Mayfair Gardens lists apartments at AED 1,856,309, a single price point. At this level, the project sits in the mid-market segment for centrally located Dubai apartments. The buyer here is choosing central access over square footage: an investor targeting professional tenants, or an owner-occupier who wants a city-centre address without the Downtown or Jumeirah premium. One price point simplifies the decision.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 50% |
AED 185,631 secures a unit. A 10% down payment is low by Dubai off-plan standards, where 20% or more is typical. The 40% construction tranche spreads across the two-year build period. The 50% falls due at handover, which is roughly two months from the time of writing. The structure delivers initial access on a small outlay, with the majority of the purchase price settling at completion.
What the Amenities Say About the Project
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Leisure | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor & Social | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
An indoor pool at this price point is not standard, and it is the standout item in the list. The full package includes a gym, indoor pool, landscaped gardens, barbecue area, and a children's play zone. It reads as resident-oriented rather than a specifier's checklist.
The Children's Play Area and barbecue area together point toward a project targeting families and longer-term residents over yield-focused investors. On-site restaurants add a practical daily convenience layer. CCTV security is a baseline feature but meaningful for landlords renting to professionals. The overall amenity set says this is a building for people who intend to stay.
Two Months to Handover
Construction began August 2024 and completion is targeted for August 2026, with the project roughly two months from its handover date at the time of writing.
For an off-plan buyer, entering at this stage means construction risk is largely resolved. The build is nearly done. What remains is the payment event: the 50% handover balance falls due in weeks. A buyer entering now gets the off-plan payment structure with near-complete construction certainty.
