Saddlewood Park

Saddlewood Park is a low-rise residential building by MAK Developers, situated in Nad Al Sheba 1 within the broader Meydan district of Dubai. The project comprises 30 apartments across a single building, with one-, two- and three-bedroom residences priced from AED 1.725 million to AED 4.5 million. Completion is scheduled for Q3 2027.

# The building and its position in Nad Al Sheba 1

Nad Al Sheba 1 occupies a distinct position in Dubai's residential geography: low-density, largely villa-scaled, and bordered by the Meydan Racecourse to the north. The area carries a quieter character than the dense corridors of Business Bay or Downtown, while sitting close enough to both for the distance to feel manageable rather than remote.

Saddlewood Park draws its architectural language from that equestrian context. The design references classic stable architecture through warm tones, structured lines and a gold gradient accent detail, placing it at the more considered end of Nad Al Sheba's residential stock. With only 30 units in a single building, the scale is deliberately intimate.

Construction is underway, with delivery targeted at Q3 2027.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The building covers one-, two- and three-bedroom formats, ranging from approximately 770 sq ft for the entry-level one-bedrooms to 2,512 sq ft for the three-bedroom penthouse-scale unit. That range is broad enough to serve both a single professional and a family requiring genuine spread across multiple rooms.

One-bedrooms are priced consistently at AED 1.725 million at the lower end, rising to AED 2 million depending on position and floor. Two-bedrooms span a wider band, from AED 2.45 million for the more compact 1,077 sq ft layouts up to AED 3.9 million for the largest, which extends to 2,558 sq ft and likely carries terrace or duplex space. The single three-bedroom is priced at AED 4.5 million across 2,511 sq ft.

All residences are delivered semi-furnished. The developer's specification references warm wood finishes, veined stone surfaces and brushed gold hardware, alongside a smart home system supplied by Systeme Electric. Kitchens are equipped with Miele appliances, and sanitaryware draws from Villeroy and Boch and Gessi. The service charge is set at AED 17 per sq ft per year.

# Smart home integration

The building incorporates AI-driven features at the unit level, including adaptive lighting and automated entry systems. These are built into the standard specification rather than offered as optional upgrades.

# Amenity floors and shared facilities

The amenity programme is extensive relative to the building's 30-unit count. A rooftop infinity pool anchors the upper level, with sun beds and an outdoor seating area surrounding it. A floating cinema sits alongside a games area and what the developer describes as see-saw lounges, suggesting a more playful approach to shared social space than most comparable buildings in the district.

Wellness provision covers an AI-powered gym, pilates studio, yoga deck, sauna and steam room. A co-working space and clubhouse address the practical needs of residents who work flexibly. A padel court rounds out the active facilities.

# Distances and daily connectivity

Nad Al Sheba 1 sits roughly 11.7 km from Downtown Dubai and 22.1 km from Dubai International Airport, placing both within a reasonable commute in typical traffic. Jumeirah Beach is 11.1 km away. For daily retail, Avenue Mall in Nad Al Shiba is approximately 10.5 km distant, while Nad Al Sheba Park sits just 4 km from the building.

The Bilingual French International School ICE is 2.3 km away, a proximity that will register with European families considering a Dubai relocation.

The district connects to Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, giving residents direct access to the main highway grid without routing through the congestion that affects some inner-city neighbourhoods.

# Who Saddlewood Park suits, and where it sits in the market

At AED 1.725 million for a sub-800 sq ft one-bedroom, Saddlewood Park prices above the Meydan baseline but below the premium commanded by comparable boutique projects in City Walk or the Design District. That gap reflects both the district's lower density and the current phase of Meydan's longer development arc.

For buyers whose priority is space per square foot, proximity to equestrian facilities, and a building count low enough to preserve some sense of residential privacy, the project makes a coherent case. The three-bedroom at AED 4.5 million across 2,511 sq ft would be priced considerably higher in most central Dubai locations.

International buyers, particularly those from the UK or France already familiar with the appeal of low-density, school-adjacent neighbourhoods, are the most natural audience. Investors targeting the mid-to-long rental market in a district that continues to attract owner-occupiers will find the entry price and service charge manageable, though as with any pre-completion project in Dubai, delivery timeline and escrow arrangements are worth verifying directly with the developer before committing.
