Verdana X

Verdana X is a two-building residential development by Reportage Properties, positioned within Dubai Investments Park (DIP) and currently under construction. It comprises 59 apartments across one- and two-bedroom configurations, with a small number of four-bedroom units, priced from AED 980,000.

# Two Buildings in a Planned Industrial-Residential District

Dubai Investments Park occupies a substantial footprint in the south-western arc of the city, spanning a mixed-use zone that combines logistics, light industry and residential neighbourhoods within a single masterplan. For residential buyers, DIP offers a quieter density than Dubai Marina or Downtown, with broader roads and a lower rise urban grain that suits owner-occupiers looking for space over spectacle.

Verdana X sits within that context as a low-key, community-scaled addition. Two buildings, 59 units between them. The project is not trying to compete with the glass-tower skyline elsewhere in the emirate. Its pitch is practical scale: enough amenity to live comfortably, enough size per unit to make the price-per-square-foot argument work.

Construction is underway. No completion date has been confirmed.

# Residences, Layouts and Finish

The unit mix runs from one-bedroom apartments at 677–738 sq ft through to two-bedroom apartments that reach 1,947 sq ft at the upper end of the range. A four-bedroom configuration is listed at 3,250 sq ft, priced at AED 2,080,000, though only a single price point is recorded for that category.

One-bedrooms are priced from AED 920,000. Two-bedrooms open at AED 1,130,000 and extend to AED 1,590,000 depending on size. The spread within the two-bedroom category is significant: a buyer choosing between a 1,069 sq ft apartment and a 1,947 sq ft version at a comparable price tier is effectively choosing between two different product types.

Kitchens come fitted with cabinetry and countertops. Specification beyond that is partially furnished, covering the kitchen only. Buyers should factor in furniture and soft finishes when modelling total acquisition cost.

The service charge is set at AED 5 per sq ft annually, which is a modest figure by Dubai standards and relevant to buy-to-let buyers calculating net yield.

# What the Amenity Offering Covers

The amenities list is focused rather than extensive. A large swimming pool, a dedicated kids' pool, a gymnasium, an outdoor children's play area and a BBQ zone. That is the confirmed list.

It covers the essentials for a residential community of this scale. Buyers accustomed to the resort-style amenity floors of larger Downtown or Creek developments will find Verdana X more restrained. That restraint is reflected in the service charge, and for some buyer profiles, it is a straightforward trade worth making.

# Location and the Case for Dubai Investments Park

DIP connects to the broader city via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, giving reasonable access to Al Maktoum International Airport and the Expo City corridor to the south-west, and to the established commercial districts of Jebel Ali and Dubai South.

The neighbourhood is not a leisure destination in its own right. There are no confirmed nearby landmarks or retail anchors in the project data. Buyers considering Verdana X are effectively buying into a self-contained residential community within a larger planned zone, and should assess commute patterns to their own points of daily travel before committing.

# A Considered Entry Point for Yield-Focused Buyers

At AED 980,000 for a one-bedroom and a service charge at AED 5 per sq ft, Verdana X sits in the more affordable register of Dubai's off-plan market. The case for it is cleaner as a yield play than as a primary residence or a lifestyle purchase.

The low unit count, 59 apartments across two buildings, limits exposure to an oversupplied block. Reportage Properties has an established track record in the mid-market segment. The DIP location is unlikely to generate the capital appreciation seen in more coveted postcodes, but for an investor prioritising entry price, low running costs and rental demand from the surrounding employment base, the arithmetic is worth examining carefully.
