Havelock Residences

Havelock Residences is a single residential tower by HMB Homes Real Estate Development, located in Discovery Gardens on the western edge of Dubai. The project comprises studios through to three-bedroom apartments, with completion scheduled for Q1 2027.

# The tower and its position in Discovery Gardens

Discovery Gardens sits between Al Furjan and Ibn Battuta Mall, roughly 6.5 kilometres from JBR and well clear of the density that characterises central Dubai. It is a low-rise, garden-threaded district, which makes a taller residential building here both visible and commercially useful: buyers get open sightlines that a more crowded neighbourhood would not permit.

Havelock Residences is a single building, currently at around 5 per cent completion against a Q1 2027 handover. The architectural approach favours glass-forward facades and clean horizontal lines, keeping the aesthetic contemporary without departing sharply from the existing fabric of the area.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The building spans a range of formats: studios from approximately 380 square feet, rising to three-bedroom apartments at the upper end of the range, with the largest units reaching just over 2,246 square feet. Pricing runs from AED 750,000 to AED 2,000,000, covering a broad spectrum of buyer and investor types within a single project.

All residences include a fitted kitchen with appliances. Balconies are a consistent feature, providing private outdoor space regardless of unit size.

The service charge is set at AED 14 to 15 per square foot. Furnishing is kitchen-only, so buyers should factor in fit-out costs for the remainder of the unit.

# Amenities across the building

The facility list is extensive for a single-tower project of this scale. A beach pool sits alongside a gym, with more active provision in the form of a basketball court and skate park. For families, there are both indoor and outdoor children's play areas, a gaming arena, and a cinema. A clubhouse ties the social spaces together.

These are meaningful differentiators in Discovery Gardens, where the surrounding community offers standard pool and playground provision but fewer purpose-built leisure facilities within a single building.

# Distance to key destinations

Ibn Battuta Mall is 2.8 kilometres from the building, covering the main retail and dining requirement for day-to-day life. Marina Beach and JBR are 6.5 kilometres away, accessible by car in under ten minutes outside peak hours.

# Airport and city-centre proximity

Al Maktoum International Airport is 29.8 kilometres south, making Havelock Residences a practical base for frequent travellers as the airport's expansion continues. Downtown Dubai is 28.8 kilometres east, which is a considered commute but consistent with the trade-off buyers accept in this part of the city in exchange for lower price points and a quieter residential setting.

Little Diamond Nursery in The Gardens sits 1.3 kilometres away, alongside a community children's park at 1.1 kilometres. Both reflect the family-oriented character of the district.

# The buyer profile this project addresses

At AED 750,000 for entry-level units, Havelock Residences occupies a price band that remains accessible to first-time Dubai buyers and yield-focused investors, particularly those tracking proximity to the Al Maktoum expansion corridor. The larger three-bedroom formats, approaching AED 2,000,000, position the project also for families who want more square footage than central Dubai affords at equivalent price points.

The combination of an equipped kitchen, a broad amenity stack, and a sub-2030 completion in an established residential district gives the project practical coherence. It is not a prestige address, but it is a credible, well-specified option in a part of Dubai that tends to attract long-term occupiers rather than short-cycle speculators.
