Sierra by Iman

Sierra by Iman is a 40-unit residential building by Iman Developers, currently under construction in Dubai Motor City, with completion scheduled for Q1 2029. Studios and two-bedroom apartments make up the current available mix, priced from approximately AED 916,000 to AED 1.97 million.

# The building and its position in Motor City

Motor City occupies a distinctive corner of southern Dubai, a low-rise, green-edged district built around the Dubai Autodrome and characterised by wide roads, generous landscaping and a residential pace that sets it apart from the denser neighbourhoods to the north. Sierra sits within this setting as a single building, which at 40 units keeps the scheme deliberately compact. That scale is a considered choice: it avoids the anonymity common to larger towers and gives the project a more contained, community-oriented character.

The building is currently at the groundworks stage, with a four-year build programme running through to early 2029.

# Residences, layouts and sizes

The available unit types run from studios of around 416 to 422 sq ft, priced from AED 916,000, to two-bedroom apartments spanning 1,060 to 1,176 sq ft, with asking prices reaching AED 1.97 million. The two-bedroom tier splits into two distinct bands, one ranging from AED 1.70 million to AED 1.89 million across the tighter floor-plate configurations, and a second, slightly larger band from AED 1.75 million to AED 1.97 million. Residences are delivered unfurnished.

Service charges are quoted at AED 17 to 19 per sq ft annually, a figure buyers should factor into their yield calculations at the outset.

# Amenities and shared facilities

The amenity provision covers a reasonable spread for a building of this size. A fitness centre, swimming pool, steam and sauna facilities, and a yoga zone address health and wellness. The aqua gardens and clubhouse give residents communal social space without requiring the project to deliver the sprawling podium decks associated with much larger developments.

Family provisions include both indoor and outdoor children's play areas, a BBQ area, and sports facilities alongside the pool. For a 40-unit building, the list is thorough rather than excessive.

# Distances and daily connections

Emirates British Nursery sits roughly 1 km away, a practical point for families with young children. Green Community Motor City Lake is 1.3 km distant, offering accessible green space within the district itself. First Avenue Mall is about 2.9 km out, covering day-to-day retail.

Longer journeys are manageable: Downtown Dubai is 22 km away, broadly a 25-to-30-minute drive depending on time of day. Al Maktoum International Airport is 32 km to the south, positioning the project well for buyers anticipating expanded connectivity as the airport scales up operations. Sufouh Beach is around 13 km.

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

At under AED 1 million for entry-level studio units, Sierra by Iman occupies a relatively accessible price bracket within a district that attracts owner-occupiers and yield-focused investors alike. Motor City historically carries lower price-per-square-foot figures than Palm Jumeirah or Downtown, which appeals to buyers prioritising size and liveability over postcode prestige.

The 2029 completion date gives buyers a four-year off-plan horizon. For GCC and international purchasers diversifying into Dubai real estate, the combination of a modest unit count, a green suburban setting and a mid-market price point makes Sierra a considered option rather than a speculative headline play.
