NAS 3

NAS 3 is a residential tower by Rabdan Developments on Arjan's low-rise skyline, delivering 284 apartments across a ground-plus-two-podium-plus-twelve-storey structure, with completion scheduled for Q2 2026 and construction now at 98 per cent complete.

# The tower and its position in Arjan

Arjan sits in the southern arc of Dubailand, bordered by Al Barsha South and a short drive from the arterial junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. The district is mid-density by Dubai standards: mostly residential blocks of modest scale, with a growing retail base and proximity to the Dubai Miracle Garden. NAS 3 occupies this neighbourhood as one of the more architecturally considered buildings in the submarket, its facade oriented toward the community's landscaped corridors rather than a highway edge.

At 12 residential floors above a double podium, the tower is compact rather than monumental. That scale is deliberate. The unit count of 284 residences across a single building produces a manageable, less anonymous community than is typical of towers three times the height in nearby districts.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The range runs from studios to three-bedroom apartments. Every unit includes a private pool, which distinguishes the building clearly from standard mid-market product in Arjan, and each comes with a balcony. Two-bedroom configurations are available in duplex format, which adds internal volume without requiring a move to a larger floor plate.

Kitchens are fitted and equipped. Finishes use high-quality materials, though JRE does not hold specification sheets confirming brand or grade at the time of writing. The building is delivered unfurnished, giving buyers latitude to fit out to their own standard.

Service charges are estimated at 14 to 16 AED per square foot annually, which sits at the lower end of what comparable buildings in more central districts command, and is worth factoring into yield calculations for investors.

# Amenities on-site

The shared facilities are focused rather than exhaustive: a swimming pool and a gym. Given that each apartment carries its own pool, the communal pool functions more as a social space than a practical necessity for most residents. The gym addresses daily fitness without the overhead of a multi-facility wellness centre.

Buyers accustomed to hotel-branded amenity decks in Downtown or Business Bay will find NAS 3 deliberately restrained. The trade-off is lower service charge exposure over the hold period.

# Arjan's connectivity and catchment

Dubai-Al Ain Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and Al Khail Road all feed into Arjan's immediate perimeter, giving residents road access to the airport in under 30 minutes and to the Marina in a comparable window depending on traffic. The Mall of the Emirates is roughly 10 minutes by car. Schools, supermarkets, and medical clinics are available within the community and the adjoining Al Barsha South corridor.

The Dubai Miracle Garden, which draws significant visitor numbers seasonally, is a short walk. For residents, that proximity is primarily a minor seasonal inconvenience rather than a lifestyle asset.

# Who NAS 3 is built for, and where it fits in the current market

The project is now sold out, which reflects demand for private-pool apartments at a price point that was clearly below what comparable specifications command in Palm Jumeirah or Downtown. For investors who entered at launch, the near-complete construction stage and low service charge structure make exit or tenanting a near-term option rather than a waiting game.

For buyers exploring similar product, NAS 3 is a useful benchmark: it demonstrates that private-pool apartments are no longer confined to villa communities or ultra-premium towers, and that Arjan's land economics allowed a developer to deliver that specification at mid-market pricing. The neighbourhood's trajectory, supported by improving retail and continued residential absorption, gives the submarket credibility as a medium-term hold rather than a speculative bet.
