Condor Golf Links 18

Condor Golf Links 18 is a completed residential tower by Condor Group in Dubai Sports City, comprising 45 apartments across studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations. The building reached practical completion ahead of its scheduled Q2 2026 handover and is now fully built out, with semi-furnished units available for immediate occupation.

# The tower and its position in Dubai Sports City

Dubai Sports City sits in the south-western arc of the city, a planned district built around active use rather than retail or financial anchors. Golf Links 18 occupies a plot with direct orientation towards the ELS Club Golf Course, which gives the building a landscape frontage that most mid-rise towers in the district cannot replicate.

The tower is a single building of 45 units. That scale is deliberate: the low unit count keeps corridors quiet, lift wait times short, and shared facilities from feeling oversubscribed. Architecturally, the facade combines warm-toned cladding with generous glazing, a composition that reads as measured rather than showy. The lobby centres on an olive tree set beneath a high ceiling, an interior detail that grounds the space without resorting to the marble-and-chandelier formula common to Dubai residential lobbies of similar positioning.

# Residences, layouts and finish

Studios sit in the 382 to 394 sq ft range, priced between approximately AED 726,000 and AED 867,000. They read as compact investment units rather than primary residences, though the golf-course orientation adds an amenity value that equivalent square footage elsewhere in the district would not carry.

One-bedroom apartments run from 650 sq ft to 804 sq ft, with pricing from around AED 1.33 million to AED 1.5 million. The variance in size across the one-bed category suggests differentiated floor plans, likely with distinct layouts for corner and mid-floor positions. Two-bedroom units cluster at 1,097 to 1,100 sq ft, priced from AED 1.54 million to approximately AED 1.62 million.

All apartments are delivered semi-furnished. Kitchens are equipped. Interior finish follows a neutral, minimal palette with floor-to-ceiling glazing as the primary architectural feature. The service charge is set at AED 14 per sq ft per year, a figure that sits within the typical mid-market band for a building with rooftop and pool facilities.

# Amenities: outdoor-first, without excess

The amenity deck reflects the building's sports-city context. Two infinity pools anchor the offer, supported by a jacuzzi, loungers and open cabanas. A rooftop yoga deck and outdoor fitness box address the active-lifestyle positioning without duplicating the sporting infrastructure already available across the broader district.

For residents who socialise in the building rather than out, there are BBQ stations, a picnic area and an outdoor cinema. Families are accommodated through a dedicated outdoor children's play area. Inside, a gymnasium and steam room cover the core fitness and recovery requirements.

# Practical additions

A delivery riders' parking area is a small but telling detail. It acknowledges how residents in this price bracket actually live, ordering food and parcels daily rather than relying on a concierge to manage deliveries. A viewing deck adds a quieter vantage point above the pool level.

# Location, travel distances and daily infrastructure

The Wonder Years Nursery is 0.5 km from the building, relevant for buyers with young children and unusually close for a district this size. A Waitrose at 1.2 km provides the grocery anchor that international buyers typically require as a baseline condition for daily comfort. The Sports City rugby pitch sits 1.1 km away.

Al Maktoum International Airport is 31.1 km out, and Downtown Dubai is 26.1 km. Neither is close by Dubai standards, and buyers should price in road travel times during peak hours accordingly. The district does not currently have metro access, so a car or car-service arrangement remains a practical necessity.

Pine Beach is the nearest coastal option at 14.6 km.

# The buyer this building suits, and where it sits in the market

Golf Links 18 is a completed building, which removes the construction-risk premium that off-plan buyers in Dubai still carry in 2024. At AED 14 per sq ft in service charges and entry points below AED 800,000 for studios, the numbers work for buy-to-let buyers targeting the Sports City rental market, where demand is supported by the district's institutional sports facilities and a resident community that skews towards active professionals and young families.

For owner-occupiers, the case rests on the golf-course frontage and the building's deliberate low density. The 45-unit count and the quality of the amenity stack position it above the volume-developer product that accounts for most of Dubai Sports City's supply.

International buyers from the UK and Europe will find the proximity to Waitrose and the nursery more reassuring than it may initially sound: they are markers of a self-sufficient neighbourhood rather than an isolated development. The building is sold out through the primary market. Secondary market availability would need to be confirmed with JRE directly.
