Lua Residences: Four to Six-Bedroom Villas in MBR City for 15% Down
Swank Developments built Lua Residences as a villa community in District 11, Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Booking opened in May 2024. Construction followed a month later, in June 2024. The expected completion date was January 2026, which has now passed. Buyers entering at this stage are approaching a project at or past the delivery threshold rather than committing to a long build-out period.
The development offers villas exclusively: four, five, and six-bedroom layouts. No apartments or townhouses.
Getting In for 15%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 15% |
| During construction | 35% |
| At handover | 50% |
The 15% down payment is the standout feature of this payment structure. On the four-bedroom at AED 6,300,000, the initial deposit comes to roughly AED 945,000. For the five and six-bedroom units at AED 8,670,000, that opening requirement rises to approximately AED 1.3 million.
The construction phase carries 35%, spread across the build period. The back-loaded 50% falls at handover. Since the original completion date has passed, that handover payment is the near-term financial event for buyers now.
What AED 6.3M to AED 8.67M Buys Here
The price range runs from AED 6.3 million to AED 8.67 million, a gap of AED 2.37 million. That spread is driven by size and bedroom count.
The four-bedroom villa at 3,437 sq ft opens the range at AED 6,300,000, which works out to approximately AED 1,834 per sq ft. Stepping up to five bedrooms brings two layout options: Type 1 at 4,579 sq ft or Type 2 at 4,842 sq ft, both priced at AED 8,670,000. The six-bedroom runs to 7,259 sq ft at the same AED 8,670,000 price.
That pricing structure means the choice between a five and six-bedroom is a size question, not a price question. The six-bedroom buyer gets roughly 2,400 to 2,700 sq ft more floor area for the same ticket price as any five-bedroom unit.
The four-bedroom suits buyers wanting to enter MBR City villa ownership at the lower price tier. The five-bedroom serves larger households or those needing separate space for staff, remote work, or extended family. The six-bedroom at 7,259 sq ft is a full-scale family residence.
District 11, Mohammed Bin Rashid City
MBR City occupies land between Downtown Dubai and Nad Al Sheba. District 11 is a residential villa zone within that master development, with Meydan to the south and Ras Al Khor to the northeast. Downtown Dubai sits roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Dubai International Airport is approximately 25 to 30 minutes east.
The address offers practical access to central Dubai while maintaining a lower-density, community-oriented environment. For families committed to villa living, the MBR City location brings central Dubai within commuting range without requiring an apartment trade-off.
What the Community Offers
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the notable item here. An indoor pool provides year-round usability, which matters when outdoor temperatures make outdoor pools impractical for several months of the year.
The remaining amenities align closely with a family resident profile: a gymnasium for daily fitness, landscaped gardens and a children's play area for outdoor use, and on-site restaurants for day-to-day convenience. CCTV security covers the development perimeter.
Six amenities in total. The list is focused and addresses the practical needs of a family household without expanding into an extensive resort-style amenity package.
