Dubai Motor City is a harmoniously planned residential cluster that has emerged over recent years as one of Dubai's most sought-after residential and investment areas. The location is strategically located in the emirate and neighbours Dubai Sports City and Arabian Ranches. Covering an area of about 420 hectares, the development offers everything necessary for a comfortable living — from modern residential complexes to well-developed social and commercial infrastructure.
Dubai Motor City was developed by Union Properties, one of the oldest and most respected property development companies in the UAE. The title reflects the exclusive concept of the district, inspired by the world of motorsport. The basic idea was to create an entire themed space where the infrastructure, architecture and ambience echo the automotive theme. First of all, this is manifested in the stylised facades of buildings and street names. But most importantly, it is home to a world-famous autodrome with a race track. As well as promoting the automotive concept, Dubai Motor City was conceived as a universal family cluster, where emphasis is placed on comfort, greenery and modern urbanism.
The area is roughly divided into zones, with Uptown Motor City offering mid-rise and low-rise residential complexes with apartments, and Green Community providing villas and townhouses. Motor City Business Park features a number of commercial skyscrapers with offices and showrooms. There are also three specialised business zones within Dubai Motor City. Applied Technologies District is focused on high-tech industrial businesses. Retail Commercial District is centred around shopping centres and retails, forming the backbone of the commercial sector's infrastructure. Auto Commercial District accommodates the automotive industry and is home to car dealerships, service centres and specialised companies.
Dubai Motor City is strategically located within 15-20 minutes drive from Downtown Dubai, 20 minutes from Dubai Marina and 25 minutes from Dubai Intl. Airport. The property at Dubai Motor City is in demand even among those who work in other parts of the emirate due to its excellent transport accessibility. There are convenient accesses to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road from every corner of the area. Public transport is also well developed here. Several bus routes, including the F30, F32 and F33, connect the area to Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Internet City metro stations. Comfortable environment for pedestrians and cyclists has been created on the territory of Dubai Motor City: the total length of bicycle lanes exceeds 8 kilometres, and wide pavements with high-quality lighting can be safely walked at any time of day.
The infrastructure of the district is perfectly adapted for family living. Dubai Motor City is home to several nurseries, such as Raffles Nursery and Building Blocks Nursery. School children can study at GEMS Metropole School, Victory Heights Primary School. GEMS Wellington Academy is a 20-minute drive away and offers international standards of education. Prime Medical Centre and Health Bay Clinic provide basic medical care to residents of the area. Emirates Hospital Day Surgery & Medical Centre offers specialist treatment, while dental services are available at Park Avenue Dental Clinic on Detroit Road.
Dubai Motor City has all the infrastructure necessary for a comfortable daily routine. Grocery shopping is convenient at Spinneys, the area's largest supermarket, with a bank branch, pharmacy and opticians. A special pride of the area is First Avenue Mall, which houses about 70 shops of famous brands and 15 restaurants, located on the open boulevard zone. For the convenience of travellers, a 4-star Park Inn by Radisson Hotel adjoins the mall. Dubai Motor City has a farmers' market on Saturdays. There are several parks with playgrounds and recreational areas for families.
The main attraction of the area is, naturally, Dubai Autodrome. This is a modern motor racing circuit of international level with a FIA-certified track over 5 kilometres long. It regularly hosts prestigious races, including the 24-hour Hankook 24H Dubai. You can also spend active and extreme time on the territory of the autodrome — there is a professional racing school and karting, as well as a business park, VIP-zones and a shopping gallery. Fans of aesthetics and cultural leisure can visit Dubai Miracle Garden, or Dubai Butterfly Garden — both theme parks are located close to the neighbourhood.
The property market at Dubai Motor City is full of offers from ambitious developers. Sobha Realty has unveiled its Sobha Solis and Sobha Orbis projects here. They offer spacious apartments with panoramic views of the motor racing track. An innovative ‘smart home’ system has been implemented in the complexes, and infinity pools with recreation areas are equipped on the landscaped roof. A key feature of Sobha Solis is the premium Arsenal Fitness Zone, developed in co-operation with the world-famous football club. And Sobha Orbis' residents have access to premium resort-style locations.
Union Properties presented its large-scale development Takaya, consisting of 3 stylish multi-storey complexes with apartments, around which villas and townhouses are concentrated. The project realises the concept of ‘vertical gardening’ where residents have access to private garden terraces in each property unit. Additionally, these apartments at Dubai Motor City are offered with innovative control systems that utilise advanced technology to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Another exciting project within the area is IMAN 15 Cascade, presented in partnership with Versace Ceramics. It features a ‘cascading terraces’ concept, which is rare in Dubai, with seating areas on each floor. Properties at 15 Cascade at Motor City include spacious studios and apartments, as well as duplexes and penthouses with private pools. All developments within the area feature well-designed infrastructure with fitness centres, children's play areas and convenient pedestrian walkways connecting the locations to the Motor City's main attractions.
The investment appeal of property at Dubai Motor City is due to several factors. The prices here are more affordable compared to the central areas of Dubai, while the average rental yield is a stable 6-8% per annum. Apartments are in demand among young professionals working in the nearby business hubs, while townhouses and villas at Dubai Motor City attract families who value comfort and security.
The area still undergoing development, with new residential projects appearing here regularly, infrastructure is being improved and transport accessibility is being improved. All this makes the buying of property at Motor City promising for those looking for comfortable housing in Dubai, and for investors considering the opportunities for significant capital growth. The mix of convenient location, developed infrastructure and affordable prices forms a steady demand for homes in this area, which ensures its long-term investment attractiveness.
