Cybele by Wadan

Cybele by Wadan is a furnished residential building by WADAN Developments, currently under construction within Dubai Residence Complex (DLRC). The project comprises 28 apartments across one building, priced from approximately AED 1.1 million, and sits adjacent to the community park.

# The building and its position in DLRC

Dubai Residence Complex occupies a broad stretch of outer Dubai, a district better known internationally for its proximity to the theme park belt, including Dubai Parks and Resorts, than for residential density. That relative openness is part of the appeal. The neighbourhood retains a lower-rise, community-oriented character that distinguishes it from the denser corridors closer to Sheikh Zayed Road.

Cybele occupies a park-fronting position within DLRC. The architecture draws on a restrained palette: glass façades, sculpted terraced forms, and neutral tones that defer to the greenery opposite rather than compete with it. At 28 units, the building is deliberately small. That scale shapes everything from parking ratios to how the amenity spaces will actually feel in use.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and specification

The project offers one- and two-bedroom apartments. One-bedroom formats range from approximately 663 sq ft to just over 1,019 sq ft, a notably wide spread that reflects meaningfully different footprints rather than just balcony variations. Two-bedroom units run from 1,257 sq ft to around 1,404 sq ft.

All apartments come fully furnished. Specified brands include Bosch for appliances, Laufen for bathrooms, Bose for audio, and UniFi for networking infrastructure. The interior material language runs to stone surfaces, timber detailing and warm lighting rather than the high-gloss finishes common across much of Dubai's mid-market supply. Service charges are set at AED 15 per sq ft annually.

Balconies feature across the floor plans, extending the living area outward toward the park view. Given the park-fronting orientation of the building, upper-floor units in particular should hold meaningful green outlooks.

# Amenities: wellness infrastructure and community space

The amenity programme punches above what a 28-unit building would ordinarily justify. The pool is configured as an infinity design, supported by a jacuzzi and cabanas. The wellness provision extends to an ice bath therapy area, a yoga and Pilates studio, and both indoor and outdoor gyms.

For families, there is a dedicated kids' park and pool alongside a playroom. Social infrastructure includes an outdoor cinema, BBQ area, co-working spaces and a community centre. The breadth of that list, across recovery, fitness, remote work and family use, suits a building where residents are likely to spend more time on-site than in a pure investment unit.

# Location and the DLRC context

DLRC sits in the outer growth corridor of Dubai, a zone that has expanded substantially over the past decade. The district connects to the broader city via Emirates Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, though like much of outer Dubai, it remains car-dependent for most daily errands.

The presence of major leisure infrastructure nearby, including Legoland, Motiongate and Bollywood Parks, makes the area legible to international buyers with families. Golf courses and cycling infrastructure within the community add to the active-lifestyle credentials of the district.

# Who Cybele suits, and where it sits in the current market

The pricing band, AED 1.1 million to approximately AED 1.73 million for a furnished, park-facing apartment, positions Cybele within reach of buyers who find the Palm or Downtown entry points increasingly strained. A furnished one-bedroom at under AED 1.1 million in a building with this amenity depth is a credible proposition for an end-user relocating to Dubai, or for an investor targeting the furnished short-stay or long-let market in a family district.

The small unit count limits liquidity risk relative to larger developments where resale supply can pile up at handover. The trade-off is lower name recognition for WADAN as a developer, which buyers should weigh against the specification quality, the escrow framework and construction progress when conducting due diligence.

For buyers benchmarking against comparable product elsewhere in DLRC or adjacent communities, the park-fronting position and the furnished specification at this price point make Cybele worth examining carefully.
