The Willows Residences

The Willows Residences is a low-rise apartment building by SCC Vertex Development, located in MBR District 11, Meydan South, with completion scheduled for Q1 2027.

# A single building in a district still taking shape

Meydan South sits within the Mohammed Bin Rashid City masterplan, a broad arc of residential and mixed-use development extending south from the Meydan Racecourse corridor. District 11 is among the earlier-delivery quadrants of this zone, with land plots and streets consolidating gradually around an established grid of boulevards and green corridors.

The Willows Residences is a single building. At 26 units in total, the scale is deliberately contained. That restraint carries practical consequences: fewer residents sharing amenity spaces, tighter community character, and a service charge of 13 AED per square foot that reflects the modest operational footprint of a small block rather than a large managed complex.

Construction is under way, with a registered escrow account (012019069387) in place.

# Residences, layouts and what the floor-plate data shows

The building holds one- and two-bedroom apartments, all semi-furnished, ranging from 700 square feet to 1,444 square feet. Pricing runs from approximately AED 1.3 million at entry to AED 2.78 million at the top of the range.

One-bedroom apartments cluster between roughly 700 and 815 square feet. The spread within that band is narrow, suggesting minor plan variations rather than genuinely distinct typologies. Pricing on these units ranges from AED 1.3 million to AED 1.57 million, with the higher figures corresponding to the slightly larger 810-815 square foot plans.

Two-bedroom apartments divide more clearly into two groups. The first sits between 909 and 980 square feet, priced from approximately AED 1.69 million to AED 1.82 million. The second group is materially larger, at 1,405 to 1,444 square feet, and is priced at AED 2.71 million to AED 2.78 million. These larger two-bedrooms represent the upper end of the building entirely, and at that size they sit closer to a townhouse footprint than a conventional apartment plan.

The developer references 3.2-metre ceilings, double-glazed windows, quartz kitchen surfaces, built-in appliances including a gas hob, oven and dishwasher, and large-format flooring. The semi-furnished designation typically covers fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes rather than loose furniture; buyers should confirm the precise scope with the developer.

# Amenity provision for a 26-unit building

The building includes a swimming pool, gym, yoga space, children's play area, and garden. For a project of 26 units, this is a functional rather than resort-style amenity set. Each facility will see limited concurrent use, which for many buyers is preferable to the queuing dynamics of a larger complex.

No rooftop or elevated pool deck is confirmed in the verified facts, despite references in the original developer materials. Buyers should seek written confirmation of any amenity specification at point of purchase.

# What the address means in practice

Kent College Dubai sits 1.7 km from the building, making it the closest major landmark and a relevant detail for buyers with school-age children. Downtown Dubai is 12 km away, a 15-to-20-minute drive under normal conditions. Dubai International Airport is 21.1 km, placing it within a manageable commute corridor for frequent travellers.

Nad Al Sheba Park, at 10.1 km, and The Arch Mall, at 9.8 km, provide the nearest green space and retail respectively. Jumeirah Beach is 22.5 km. None of these distances are especially short, and buyers accustomed to the walkability of, say, Downtown or Dubai Marina should factor in the car-dependent character of this part of the city. Meydan South is a district oriented around road access rather than pedestrian infrastructure.

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

At AED 1.3 million for a 700-square-foot one-bedroom, the entry price point positions The Willows Residences within a bracket that appeals to first-time Dubai buyers, regional investors seeking a yield-oriented asset, and purchasers looking for exposure to the MBR City masterplan without committing to the higher absolute values of more central Meydan addresses.

The larger two-bedrooms, at just under AED 2.8 million for 1,444 square feet, offer end-user appeal for smaller families or buyers who want meaningful internal space without the maintenance burden of a villa. The 26-unit ceiling keeps the building intimate, and delivery in Q1 2027 leaves a reasonable construction timeline for off-plan buyers managing liquidity.

Meydan South continues to develop around it. That is both the risk and the case for early entry.
