District One West Phase 2: Large-Format Villas in Mohammed Bin Rashid City
District One West Phase 2 is a Nakheel development offering freehold villas in District One, Mohammed Bin Rashid City. This is the second phase of the West cluster, with nine villa unit types across four, five, and six-bedroom configurations.
Mohammed Bin Rashid City: Between Downtown and the Meydan Corridor
MBR City sits between Downtown Dubai and the Meydan area. Al Khail Road and Meydan Road are both accessible from the community, connecting residents to the wider highway network. Downtown Dubai is approximately 10 minutes by car. Dubai International Airport runs roughly 15 minutes in normal traffic conditions. Business Bay and DIFC are within the same short commute range.
For a buyer choosing between a villa and a high-rise apartment, the trade-off here is space over centrality. District One delivers large floor plans with private plots at a price point that reflects proximity to Downtown without the density of central Dubai. Based on location and price, this project sits within Dubai's prime freehold villa segment.
AED 13M to AED 21.2M: Three Configurations, One Community
The AED 12,996,645 to AED 21,152,194 range reflects three distinct products, not positional variance within a single type. Each price tier corresponds to a different bedroom count and floor area.
4-bedroom villas open at AED 12.99M, with built areas from 6,768 to 7,084 sq ft across layout types A, B, and C. Per-sq-ft rates range from roughly AED 1,835 to AED 1,920 depending on layout.
5-bedroom villas start at AED 15.74M. Floor area ranges from 7,091 sq ft (Type A) to 8,965 sq ft (Type C), both at the same starting price. The 1,874 sq ft gap within the same price band makes this the most floor-area-sensitive choice in the project. Type C delivers considerably more space at the same entry cost as Type A.
6-bedroom villas begin at AED 21.15M, with all three layout types above 11,000 sq ft. At this size and price, the typical buyer is a primary resident pursuing a long-term family home rather than a rental yield play. Per-sq-ft rates across the six-bedroom layouts sit at approximately AED 1,882 to AED 1,920.
What You Get on Site
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Pool & Leisure | Shared Pool, Leisure Lounge |
| Dining | Cafe and Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
The on-site package covers the essentials. A gym, shared pool, lounge, a dining option, and a children's play area are all present. The Leisure Lounge adds a dedicated social space beyond the poolside area. For a villa community at this price tier, the focus falls on the homes and their plots rather than on-site facilities. The children's play area alongside the cafe and lounge points to a family-oriented resident profile.
Handover in Q4 2027
Construction began in April 2024. The expected completion date is 18 November 2027, a build timeline of approximately three and a half years. For a buyer entering now, this is a mid-construction off-plan purchase. The project is already more than a year into the build, so payments against the 60% construction tranche are running, not pending. Capital is deployed against an active site through late 2027.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 60% |
| Handover | 20% |
The 20% down payment is the entry commitment. The 60% during-construction tranche carries the bulk of the obligation, spread across milestones over the build period. On a AED 12.99M four-bedroom, that means approximately AED 2.6M down, AED 7.8M across construction payments, and AED 2.6M at handover. On the AED 21.15M six-bedroom, those figures scale to roughly AED 4.2M down, AED 12.7M across construction, and AED 4.2M at handover. The full balance settles at handover in late 2027.
