Forest City 2

Forest City 2 is a single residential building by HZ Development, located within Dubailand Residence Complex and scheduled for completion in Q2 2027. The project comprises 70 fully furnished apartments ranging from studios through to three-bedroom residences, priced from AED 720,888 to approximately AED 1.92 million.

# The building and its position in Dubailand Residence Complex

Dubailand Residence Complex sits within the broader Dubailand corridor, one of Dubai's most expansive inland districts, characterised by lower plot densities and a heavier emphasis on family-oriented living than the coastal or downtown precincts. Forest City 2 occupies this setting as a single, self-contained building rather than a sprawling gated campus, which keeps the owner community compact at 70 units.

Construction has commenced, with the handover target set at Q2 2027. At this stage, readiness progress is early, which is typical for projects at this point in their build cycle. The developer holds escrow account number 3717370312516, registered with the relevant Dubai Land Department oversight, providing the standard buyer protections applicable to off-plan purchases in the emirate.

The project takes its name from a design philosophy oriented around greenery and a calmer residential atmosphere, positioning itself as an alternative to the denser, more commercially saturated corridors closer to Sheikh Zayed Road.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and specification

The 70 apartments span four configurations: studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units.

Studios range from roughly 457 to 940 square feet, a span wide enough to reflect meaningfully different internal arrangements rather than a single template. Pricing sits between AED 660,888 and AED 866,888 at the broader end of that range. One-bedroom apartments run from approximately 800 to 893 square feet, priced from around AED 997,000 to AED 1.09 million. Two-bedroom units are standardised at 1,418 square feet across the available inventory, with prices spanning AED 1.52 million to AED 1.63 million.

Three-bedroom apartments, at 1,765 square feet, represent the project's largest floor plates, with asking prices from AED 1.85 million to just under AED 1.99 million.

All residences are delivered fully furnished. Kitchens are fitted and equipped on handover, which reduces the additional capital outlay buyers typically face after completion of an off-plan purchase. The service charge is set at AED 10 per square foot annually.

# Amenities on the podium and terrace levels

The amenity package is modest in scale but coherent for a 70-unit building. A fully equipped gym, adult and children's swimming pools, a kids' play area, a BBQ area, a lounge, and a fountain feature are provided across the podium and terrace levels. The focus is on day-to-day residential functionality rather than the resort-style programming found in larger master developments.

For families with children, the proximity of GEMS First Point School in The Villa community, 650 metres away, is a practical and significant detail.

# Distances and road connections

The location places Forest City 2 roughly 19 kilometres from Downtown Dubai and 22.9 kilometres from Dubai International Airport. Nad Al Sheba Park sits 11.7 kilometres away. Jumeira Public Beach and First Avenue Mall in Motor City are both reachable, at 25.6 and 17.3 kilometres respectively, though both require a car journey of some duration.

The area is, by its geography, car-dependent. Buyers should factor that into day-to-day logistics, particularly if occupying the property as a primary residence rather than holding it as an investment.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the Dubai off-plan market

At AED 1,100 to AED 1,200 per square foot across the mid-range inventory, Forest City 2 sits firmly within the affordable-to-mid segment of the Dubai off-plan market. The entry point for a studio, at under AED 700,000, and for a one-bedroom at just over AED 1 million, puts it within reach of buyers who might otherwise be pushed to smaller or less well-specified product in comparable suburban locations.

The fully furnished delivery adds tangible value for investors targeting the rental market, removing a post-handover cost that can run to AED 40,000 to AED 80,000 for a furnished fit-out. For end-users, particularly families with school-age children, the GEMS school adjacency and the quieter residential character of Dubailand Residence Complex carry real weight.

This is not a project for buyers seeking a Downtown address or a waterfront view. It is suited to those prioritising space per dirham, a furnished ready-to-occupy product, and a mid-distance suburban setting within a controlled community of 70 households.
