Nad Al Sheba Gardens by Meraas: Large Villas in a Quiet Dubai District
Meraas Holding brings Nad Al Sheba Gardens to one of Dubai's established low-rise residential pockets. The project sits within Nad Al Sheba 1, a sub-district that attracts buyers who want space and calm without sacrificing city access. Villas here range from 4 to 7 bedrooms, with construction underway since April 2024 and handover scheduled for August 2028.
Where Nad Al Sheba 1 Places You
Nad Al Sheba 1 sits southeast of Business Bay, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai by car. Meydan Racecourse borders the district to the north. The area connects directly to Al Ain Road (E66) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, making commutes to Dubai International Airport and the wider city practical. This is a low-density district with limited through traffic. The trade-off is car dependency; daily needs require driving. For buyers weighing this location against busier villa communities closer to central Dubai, the draw here is land scale and quiet at a price point that reflects the sub-district's residential character.
What AED 10.6M to AED 22.5M Covers
Prices run from AED 10,567,333 to AED 22,451,000. This spread maps directly to bedroom count. 4-bedroom villas start at AED 10.6 million, with floor areas between roughly 4,900 and 5,600 square feet. 6-bedroom units start at AED 15.6 million, ranging from about 6,600 to 7,100 square feet across layout variants. At the top end, 7-bedroom villas price from AED 22.5 million at approximately 8,600 square feet.
The buyer at AED 10.6 million is entering at the base of the villa range within this community. The buyer at AED 22.5 million wants a large-format footprint: seven bedrooms at 8,600 square feet accommodates live-in staff and significant private outdoor space. These two ends serve different household profiles. The spread reflects product breadth, not pricing inconsistency.
4 to 7 Bedrooms, All Villas
All units are villas. Four bedroom configurations are available: 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom, 6-bedroom, and 7-bedroom. The 4-bedroom entry point suits families of four to six. The 6-bedroom tier offers multiple layout variants, giving buyers choices between different footprint arrangements. The 7-bedroom format is the largest unit, suited to extended families or households needing dedicated guest or staff accommodation.
Active Living Infrastructure

| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Safety | 24-hour Security |
The fitness provision stands out in this amenity set. Two gym spaces alongside a dedicated well-being centre and a cycle track point toward a community built around active daily routines. The children's play area and pool serve families with younger residents. Restaurants within the community reduce the need to drive for casual meals. This is an amenity set built for active families as the primary resident profile.
Completion in August 2028
Meraas broke ground in April 2024. Projected handover is August 2028, a construction timeline of just over four years. Buyers entering now are roughly halfway through that window. For investors, rental income starts only after handover. For end-users, the off-plan hold extends approximately two more years from today.
Getting In for 20%
| Phase | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 20% |
| During Construction | 60% |
| Handover | 20% |
The 20% down payment sets the initial commitment at signing. The structure is straightforward: 20% up front, 60% in phased construction payments, and 20% at handover. The full purchase price clears at key release. On a 4-bedroom at AED 10.6 million, that means AED 2.1 million at signing. On a 7-bedroom at AED 22.5 million, the down payment is AED 4.5 million. The 60% construction tranche represents the bulk of the purchase cost and runs through 2028.
