Mas Barsha Residency

Mas Barsha Residency is a residential apartment building by Revi Realty, currently under construction in Al Barsha, one of Dubai's more established mid-city neighbourhoods. The development comprises 96 units across a single tower, offering one- and two-bedroom apartments priced from AED 1.96 million.

# The tower and its position in Al Barsha

Al Barsha sits between Sheikh Zayed Road and Umm Suqeim, roughly equidistant from the older commercial spine of the city and the newer waterfront districts to the south. It is a dense, mixed-use neighbourhood that has matured over the past two decades into a genuinely functional place to live rather than simply a bedroom suburb.

Mas Barsha Residency occupies a single building within this context. Construction is at an early stage, with the project currently at approximately 16 per cent completion and no confirmed handover date published at time of writing. The scale is deliberate: 96 units is small enough to avoid the anonymity of Dubai's larger residential blocks, and the architecture follows a contemporary urban register with clean proportions rather than decorative gesture.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The building offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. One-bedroom units range from around 944 sq ft to approximately 1,080 sq ft, a generous bracket for a single-bedroom configuration that allows for proper living and dining separation rather than a compressed open-plan layout. Pricing on one-beds runs from AED 1.96 million to around AED 2.73 million, with variation across floors.

Two-bedroom apartments are considerably larger. Sizes span from roughly 1,551 sq ft to just under 1,973 sq ft, and pricing ranges from AED 3.26 million to AED 4.08 million. That upper end of the two-bedroom range, at nearly 2,000 sq ft, is more typical of what developers elsewhere market as a three-bedroom footprint.

Kitchens are supplied with Siemens appliances. Beyond that, the specification follows a contemporary residential finish: neutral tones, quality materials, practical spatial planning. The broader furnishing position is kitchen-only, so buyers receive a fitted kitchen and finish the remaining interiors themselves. Service charges are set at AED 18 per sq ft per year.

# Amenities across the building

The facility list covers the main categories buyers expect at this price point. An infinity pool sits at the top of the amenity offering, alongside a gym, sauna and yoga room for wellness. A co-working space and home cinema address the two ends of the work-from-home spectrum that now factors into how buyers assess residential buildings. A café, kids' play area and the co-working lounge together suggest a building designed to reduce the number of reasons residents need to leave.

No amenity list replaces proximity to good streets and services, but for a 96-unit building, this range is substantive rather than perfunctory.

# Al Barsha as a practical base

Al Barsha's primary draw has always been convenience. The Mall of the Emirates, on Sheikh Zayed Road at the neighbourhood's western edge, anchors the area as a retail and dining destination and contains one of the few indoor ski slopes in the region. The neighbourhood itself holds a mix of restaurants, supermarkets, clinics and schools that support daily life without requiring a car journey.

Major road access is straightforward. Sheikh Zayed Road runs along the western boundary, and the metro's Red Line has a station serving the district, which matters to tenants even when it matters less to owner-occupiers. Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Hills are each within a 15-to-20-minute drive under normal traffic conditions.

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

The pricing at Mas Barsha Residency places it in a bracket that has attracted consistent interest from buy-to-let investors and end-users who want a mid-city address without paying waterfront premiums. A two-bedroom apartment at AED 3.3 million in Al Barsha compares reasonably against equivalent-sized stock in Dubai Marina or Business Bay, where the same footprint typically commands a higher per-square-foot rate.

For international buyers, the one-bedroom units above 1,000 sq ft at the AED 2.1 million to 2.3 million level represent a mid-range entry that is easier to manage remotely than a villa and generates rental demand from the professional population that fills Al Barsha's surrounding offices and schools.

The early construction stage carries the standard caveats. At 16 per cent completion with no published handover date, buyers are committing at a point where the finish, timeline and final common areas remain to be seen. That is a normal feature of off-plan purchases in Dubai, but it is the primary variable any buyer should price into their decision.
