Nad Al Sheba Gardens Phase 7: Townhouses and Villas from AED 4.43M
Meraas Holding is the developer behind Nad Al Sheba Gardens Phase 7, a release within the established Nad Al Sheba Gardens masterplan in Nad Al Sheba 1, Dubai. The project brings together 3-bedroom townhouses and villas up to 7 bedrooms, with construction underway since January 2025 and handover targeted for August 2028.
A Residential District Between Downtown and the Southern Highways
Nad Al Sheba sits southeast of Downtown Dubai. Business Bay and Downtown are roughly 15 minutes away under normal conditions, with Mohammed Bin Zayed Road providing a direct arterial connection to both the northern and southern parts of the city. Al Ain Road is also accessible from this location, giving the area a practical bypass option when the main highways are congested.
The district is predominantly residential in character, with relatively low density compared to areas closer to Downtown. Phase 7 sits within Nad Al Sheba Gardens 8, a sub-community within the broader masterplan. This is not a road-fronting location: the project addresses an interior residential pocket, consistent with a community built for living rather than passing through.
The Meydan racecourse is nearby, a landmark most Dubai residents recognise.
What AED 4.43M to AED 20.9M Actually Covers
The price range here spans almost fivefold. That spread reflects a genuine bifurcation in product type, not a wide unit-size variation within one category.
At the entry point, AED 4,430,000 buys a 3-bedroom townhouse. Floor areas range from approximately 2,705 to 3,291 sq ft across multiple layout types, giving buyers some choice within the townhouse category. These are large homes by townhouse standards. The footprint alone sets them apart from apartment alternatives at a comparable price level.
The villa product occupies a different tier entirely:
| Bedrooms | Size (sq ft) | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| 4-bedroom | 4,795 | AED 10,780,000 |
| 5-bedroom | 5,650 | AED 12,660,000 |
| 6-bedroom | 6,872 | AED 16,120,000 |
| 7-bedroom | 8,705 | AED 20,900,000 |
A buyer choosing the 7-bedroom villa at AED 20.9 million is pursuing compound-scale space within a managed community. That is a different decision from the townhouse buyer, who is prioritising community infrastructure and a private garden without the scale or cost of a standalone villa.
The Amenity Set Points at Full-Time Family Residents
| Category | What's Included |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Golf Club and Clubhouse, Community Park |
| Education | International School |
| Worship | Mosque |
| Daily Living | Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The golf club and clubhouse is the headline differentiator. A golf amenity within a residential community perimeter is uncommon, and it places this project above the standard pool-and-gym package. The indoor pool adds year-round usability that an outdoor pool cannot offer in Dubai's summer months.
The international school on-site is the most practical amenity for families with school-age children. Removing the school-run commute changes daily logistics in a meaningful way. Paired with the mosque, restaurants, and retail, the development reduces dependency on services outside the community boundary.
Taken together, the amenity profile points at full-time owner-occupier families rather than investors targeting short-term rentals or seasonal use. The investment in this level of community infrastructure is consistent with a long-term residential offer.
Handover in August 2028
Construction started in January 2025. The expected handover date is August 2028, approximately 3.5 years from build commencement. Off-plan buyers entering now have roughly two years remaining before the property transfers.
The project is mid-build rather than early-stage, which carries a different risk profile from a day-one launch. The August 2028 date gives a defined planning horizon for buyers structuring their financing.
Getting In for 20%
| Payment Stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 20% |
| During Construction | 40% |
| On Handover | 40% |
The 20% down payment is a standard entry point for an off-plan project from an established Dubai developer. The remaining 80% divides evenly: 40% phased across the construction period, 40% due at handover in August 2028.
The 40% on handover is the largest single commitment outside the initial deposit. At the townhouse level, that works out to approximately AED 1.77M due in August 2028. For a 7-bedroom villa buyer, the equivalent figure is AED 8.36M. The staging is straightforward, with construction-period payments spreading the cost across the remaining build window.
