Nad Al Sheba Gardens Phase 8

Nad Al Sheba Gardens Phase 8 is a low-rise residential community developed by Meraas, situated within the established Nad Al Sheba Gardens district south of Dubai Creek. The release comprises two buildings and, at the current stage, just two available configurations: six- and seven-bedroom villas priced from AED 18.81 million, with completion scheduled for Q1 2029.

# The community and its place in Nad Al Sheba

Nad Al Sheba carries a particular kind of weight in Dubai's residential geography. The district sits south of the Creek, historically associated with the older, more established parts of the city, and borders Al Quoz and the Meydan corridor. It is neither a marina community nor a tower district. The prevailing character is low-density, land-oriented and family-facing, which is precisely why demand for freehold product here has held firm across market cycles.

Phase 8 extends an already substantial masterplan that Meraas has been delivering incrementally. At 22% construction progress, the project is actively under way, with handover set for Q1 2029. The service charge is fixed at AED 6 per square foot.

# Six and seven-bedroom villas: scale, layout and specification

The two available unit types are large by any measure. The six-bedroom villas run to 6,873 sq ft and are priced at AED 18.81 million. The seven-bedroom versions reach 8,706 sq ft, priced at AED 24.154 million. Both figures represent a single fixed price rather than a range, indicating Meraas is working from a standardised specification rather than a bespoke model.

The developer describes equipped kitchens and high-quality materials as standard throughout. The residences are delivered unfurnished, which gives buyers latitude to commission interiors to their own brief. Floor plans of this scale are typically structured around a central living volume with dedicated family space on the upper level, generous bedroom suites and private outdoor areas including garden and terrace.

At roughly AED 2,735 per square foot for the six-bedroom and AED 2,773 per square foot for the seven-bedroom, the pricing sits within the broader range for masterplan villa product in this part of Dubai.

# Amenities across the masterplan

The Nad Al Sheba Gardens masterplan integrates a school, a mosque and retail directly within the community, which meaningfully reduces the daily dependency on arterial roads for school runs and errands. Beyond those essentials, the amenity programme includes a lagoon, a wave pool, a club house, a yoga lawn, sports courts, a gym, running tracks, a dog park, an events lawn with an amphitheatre, children's play areas and a neighbourhood park. For a community at this price point, the breadth of the leisure offer is coherent with the family demographic the product is clearly built around.

# Distances and daily connectivity

The Square Nad Al Sheba Gardens, a local retail hub, sits 2.2 km away. Kinder Castle Nursery at Meydan is 2.6 km out, relevant for buyers with younger children not yet enrolled in the on-site school. Al Khail Mall is reachable at 9.4 km, Downtown Dubai at 12.7 km, Mercato Beach at 14.7 km, and Dubai International Airport at 23.9 km. The road network around Nad Al Sheba connects easily to Al Khail Road, which keeps central Dubai genuinely accessible without requiring motorway-grade commutes.

# Who this product suits and where it sits in the Dubai villa market

Phase 8 is already sold out, which is the most direct signal of where demand stands. For buyers tracking the wider Nad Al Sheba Gardens masterplan, that sell-through rate reflects consistent appetite for large-format Meraas product in a district that continues to attract families relocating from Europe, the GCC and South and East Asia.

The buyer profile is fairly specific: households that prioritise internal space over location prestige, that want a developer with a demonstrable track record, and that can absorb a 2029 horizon. For that buyer, this part of Dubai offers something the tower districts cannot: ground-level space, a school within the community boundary, and a streetscape built at human scale.
