Vio Residences: Apartments in International City Phase 2
Modelux Real Estate Development launched Vio Residences in early 2025. The project sits in International City Phase 2, within the Al Warsan 4 district of Dubai. Handover is scheduled for December 2026.
What Al Warsan 4 Means in Practice
International City Phase 2 sits east of the original International City cluster, in the Al Warsan corridor. Dragon Mart is nearby, giving residents direct access to one of Dubai's largest retail destinations. Al Khail Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road are accessible from here, putting Downtown Dubai roughly 30 to 35 minutes away by car and Dubai International Airport around 20 minutes away.
The area is not central, but it is established and self-contained. At these price points, it draws buyers who want meaningful yield exposure without paying a central-address premium. For end-users, the trade-off is a longer commute in exchange for more space per dirham.
The Spread: AED 535,000 to AED 1,250,000
The range runs from AED 535,000 at the low end to AED 1,250,000 at the top. That is a wide spread for a single property type, and it reflects a meaningful difference in unit sizes within the project.
At AED 535,000, the entry point is accessible for a Dubai apartment. These units are likely studios or compact one-bedrooms, suited to first-time buyers and investors focused on rental income in this corridor. At AED 1,250,000, you are looking at larger configurations, probably two-bedrooms, aimed at families wanting more space without paying a central-Dubai premium.
Apartments Only
Vio Residences is entirely apartments. The property type fits the resident profile of International City Phase 2: mid-income workers, young families, and buy-to-let investors. No mixed-use complications, no villas to price around.
What Seven Amenities Signal
| Theme | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Community | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Lifestyle | Cinema |
| Building services | Security |
Seven amenities at this price bracket is a solid count. The indoor pool stands out for an entry-level project in this part of the city. A cinema room and a dedicated children's play area point toward residents planning to live here, not just investors chasing yield.
The barbecue area and landscaped gardens reinforce a community-focused brief. Taken together, the amenity mix targets families and young couples looking for a complete living environment at a price point that would be out of reach in more central districts.
Off-Plan with December 2026 Handover
Construction started January 2025. Handover is expected December 2026. That is a roughly two-year build cycle. For a buyer entering now, off-plan exposure runs just over a year from today. The payment schedule moves through that window at pace.
Getting In at 20%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| On handover | 40% |
The 20% down payment is an accessible entry for Dubai off-plan. One-fifth of the purchase price to lock in a unit preserves capital during the build. The 40% construction tranche spreads across the period from early 2025 to late 2026, and the remaining 40% falls due at handover. The full balance settles when keys are handed over.
