Moonsa Residences: Entry-Level to Family-Sized Apartments in Al Warsan 4
Dugasta is the developer behind Moonsa Residences, a residential project in International City Phase 2, Dubai. The development sits in Al Warsan 4, a well-established district in the city's eastern corridor, roughly 25 kilometres from Downtown Dubai. It is a mid-market project in a location that has consistently drawn mid-market demand.
What the Location Means in Practice
Al Warsan 4 sits east of Mirdif and south of Muhaisnah. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road runs along the western edge of International City, connecting residents directly to Business Bay, DIFC, and Dubai International Airport. The Dragon Mart retail complex is within the district. Commutes to central employment hubs typically run 25 to 35 minutes.
International City is a mid-market district. It draws residents who want space without paying for a central postcode. The area has accumulated retail, schools, and services over the years, making it self-contained enough for daily needs. For an investor, the area's price positioning relative to central Dubai creates a clear rental demand base. For an end-user, this is a practical choice that prioritises value per square metre over address prestige.
What AED 400K to AED 2M Buys Here
AED 400,000 at the floor and AED 2,063,012 at the ceiling. For an apartment-only project, a five-fold spread indicates the unit mix runs from compact studios through to large family-sized apartments.
The spread is wide enough that buyers at different budget levels are effectively in different markets within the same building. A studio buyer and a three-bedroom buyer here have almost nothing in common in terms of goals or timeline.
The lower end suits an investor targeting the district's rental demand or someone making a first purchase in Dubai. The upper end, approaching AED 2 million, targets a buyer who wants more space than the same budget would deliver in Jumeirah, Business Bay, or Downtown. Both profiles have a clear reason to look at this project.
Apartments Across the Range
All units are apartments. The price spread indicates a mix running from studios and compact one-beds through larger two- and three-bedroom layouts. A buyer in the mid-range, around AED 800,000 to AED 1.2 million, is likely looking at a two-bedroom layout at a competitive price point for this location.

The indoor swimming pool stands out. An enclosed pool adds year-round usability. Residents can use it through the summer months without contending with outdoor temperatures. The construction cost is materially higher than an outdoor pool. For a project at this price point and in this district, it is an above-standard inclusion.
The gym, outdoor green space, children's play area, barbecue zone, and on-site restaurant together point to a building where people live rather than one that cycles through short-stay occupants. For investors, buildings that draw long-term residents typically hold occupancy more reliably.
Timeline
Construction started in July 2024 with an expected completion date of January 2025. As of late 2026, that date has passed by roughly two years. This project has most likely already reached handover.
The 50/50 Payment Structure
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| During Construction | 50% |
| At Handover | 50% |
Half the purchase price is due during construction; the other half falls due at handover. This is a two-step structure with no extended milestone payments within either phase. Given that construction has likely completed, a buyer entering now is effectively purchasing a ready or near-ready property. The split still governs the transaction timing and determines when each instalment is owed.
