Lusin Residences

Lusin Residences is a 34-unit mixed-use building by Ermax Development, situated in International City, one of Dubai's largest established residential communities in the Al Warsan district to the east of the city. Completion is scheduled for October 2027, with units currently on sale from AED 636,000.

# The building and its position in International City

International City occupies a particular place in Dubai's residential geography. Its themed clusters, each drawing loosely on the architectural language of a different country, give the district a character distinct from the glass-and-steel corridors elsewhere in the city. Within this setting, Lusin Residences takes a more contemporary line: a single building rising above a ground-floor retail base and a parking podium, its façade combining light surfaces with projecting balconies, vertical contrasting elements, and green planting that softens the streetscape.

The scale is deliberately modest. Thirty-four residences across one building means the community remains tight and the shared spaces do not get lost to volume.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The collection runs from studios through to two-bedroom penthouses, covering a size range of roughly 467 to 2,634 square feet. That upper figure belongs to the penthouses, which sit at the top of the building and include private terraces with lounge areas and their own swimming pools.

Every apartment arrives with a turnkey fit-out: fitted kitchen cabinetry and countertops, Italian appliances, and built-in wardrobes are all included, so buyers take ownership of a home rather than a shell. Bathrooms carry stone-look porcelain tiles and modern fixtures. A smart home system governs lighting and power throughout.

Each residence also comes with a dedicated covered parking space, a detail that matters more in practice than it tends to in brochures.

# Shared facilities and outdoor space

The amenity offering is arranged on a landscaped podium deck. There is an adults' swimming pool with a seating area, a separate children's pool, a lounge zone, an outdoor play corner for younger residents, and a barbecue area with green open space around it. A styled arrival lounge handles the entry sequence for residents and guests.

The building incorporates smart home solutions and green building features designed to reduce energy consumption.

# Location, road access and the Metro Blue Line

International City connects directly to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Manama Street, placing Dubai International Airport, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Academic City, Downtown Dubai, and the Dubai World Trade Centre within reasonable road distance. Dragon Mart and the Dubai Central Fruit and Vegetable Market are close at hand; City Centre Mirdif and Dubai Festival City Mall are a short drive further.

Public buses currently link the community to Dubai Metro stations. The planned Blue Line includes a station serving International City, which would meaningfully reduce the dependence on private transport that has historically defined the area's daily rhythms.

# A measured entry point for investors with a long horizon

International City has long drawn its rental demand from expatriate professionals and students attending the universities of Dubai Academic City. Pricing at Lusin Residences, starting below AED 640,000, reflects the area's position as one of Dubai's most affordable freehold markets, open to buyers of all nationalities.

The investment logic here is structural rather than speculative. Improving transport infrastructure, a stable tenant base, and a supply-constrained building of only 34 units combine to make Lusin Residences a considered proposition for buyers who prioritise long-term yield over short-cycle capital plays.
