Selora Residences: A Villa Community in the Heart of MBR City
Selora Residences is a villa development by Swank Developments, located in Mohammed Bin Rashid City in Dubai. The project offers a single villa product at a clear price point, with a structured payment plan and a completion timeline that puts it roughly two years out for buyers entering today.
Mohammed Bin Rashid City: What the Address Means
Mohammed Bin Rashid City occupies a central position in Dubai's residential geography. It sits between Downtown Dubai and the suburban eastern districts, giving residents access to the city's commercial core without living inside it. The district has become one of Dubai's more active villa and townhouse zones, drawing buyers who want space and greenery while keeping a short commute to Business Bay or Downtown. Drive times to Downtown Dubai run around 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. Dubai International Airport is roughly 25 minutes out. The location suits families and professionals who want room to live without giving up urban proximity.
For investors, a project at AED 12.5 million sits firmly in the premium segment for this district, targeting buyers who are not stretching to get in.
The Villa Offer
Selora Residences is exclusively villas. The project shows configurations ranging from four to six bedrooms, with floor areas from approximately 4,500 to 8,800 square feet. The five-bedroom Type 1 unit at 5,543 sq ft is listed at AED 12,504,000.
The buyer here is looking for substantial space. A 5,500-square-foot five-bedroom villa in MBR City at this price lands in territory where the buyer expects high-quality finishes and meaningful outdoor space. At the six-bedroom level, floor areas climb to nearly 8,800 sq ft, which is a serious family home by any standard.

|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor & Green Space | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor pool is the standout here. Most villa communities at this price point offer outdoor pools, so an indoor facility signals year-round usability regardless of Dubai's summer heat. Restaurants within the development means residents have on-site dining without leaving the compound. The amenity set reads as a self-contained family community: fitness, greenery, kids' facilities, and security all covered in one place.
Getting In for 15%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 15% |
| During construction | 15% |
| Handover | 70% |
The entry point is AED 1,875,600 (15% of AED 12,504,000). The construction phase requires another 15%, meaning 30% total before handover. The remaining 70% falls due at completion in April 2027. There is no post-handover installment option, so the full balance settles at the point of key collection.
A 15% down payment keeps the upfront commitment contained for a villa at this price tier.
Completion by April 2027
Construction started in June 2025. The expected completion date is April 2027, giving the project a build period of just under two years. The project is already under construction, which removes some of the early-phase uncertainty that longer-dated off-plan projects carry. For a buyer entering now, the handover horizon is near enough to plan around with reasonable confidence.
