District One
Freehold villas set around a Crystal Lagoons lagoon in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, with the Meydan racecourse, golf course and hotel in the same part of the city.
Mornings in District One start at the water. The lagoon runs on Crystal Lagoons technology, and the 14 kilometres of shoreline are planned for leisure and family gatherings, so the water becomes part of the day rather than a view from a distance. The homes are freehold, so ownership is held outright by the buyer.
The developer plans a section of the lagoon in front of Meydan Mall as a public access lagoon, with ticketed entry.
Evenings and weekends belong to the racecourse. The Dubai World Cup, a race over 2,000 metres on dirt, is hosted at Meydan Racecourse and its grandstand, and the race has been run since 1996, first at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse before the move to Meydan.
The Track Meydan Golf is a nine-hole Troon course that stretches about 3,700 yards from the back tees, with a floodlit driving range among its facilities. The Meydan Hotel belongs to the same setting.
Nakheel is the developer behind the district. In March 2024 Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced that Nakheel and Meydan would be brought under Dubai Holding, and the combined group is led by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum.
In the same Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Sobha Realty builds Sobha Hartland, a waterfront community of about 8 million sq ft (about 743,000 sqm) with apartments, villas and townhouses, surrounded by a 22-hectare green belt. Sobha describes the community as close to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.
Our villas in District One are District One Villas. For a buyer who wants a freehold home in a district of lagoons, the natural next step is the other villas of the district.
Each residence offered here is handled personally by your advisor, with private viewings by appointment.
