Strengths

  • A distinct motorsport identity: Dubai Autodrome (racing, karting and entertainment) sits at the centre of the community, unusual for a Dubai residential district.
  • A mix of formats: mid-rise apartments (studio to 4-bedroom) in Uptown and villas and townhouses (3 to 5-bedroom) in the gated, lake-facing Green Community.
  • Direct road access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Qudra Road, plus an on-site school (GEMS Metropole School - Motor City) and several nurseries.

Limitations

  • No metro station within Motor City; the nearest is Mall of the Emirates on the Red Line, about 15 minutes by car, also reachable via the F37 feeder bus.
  • A large share of the master development is still unlaunched or under construction: Union Properties reports about 6.6 million sqft of unlaunched gross floor area in Motor City.
  • Retail and dining are concentrated in a few hubs (First Avenue, The Ribbon Mall, the Motor City Retail Area) rather than spread evenly across the community.

Lifestyle

Motor City is built around Dubai Autodrome, a motorsport, karting and entertainment venue at the centre of the community, master-planned by Union Properties. The community is split into three parts: Uptown Motor City, mostly low and mid-rise apartment buildings (studio to 4-bedroom) centred on the First Avenue plaza with cafes, nurseries and retail on the ground floors; Green Community Motor City, a gated cluster of villas and townhouses (3 to 5 bedroom) set around a lake; and Business Park Motor City.

Transport

Motor City has direct road access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Qudra Road. There is no metro station within the community; the nearest is Mall of the Emirates on the Red Line, about a 15-minute drive, and the F37 feeder bus connects Motor City to that station, also stopping in Dubai Sports City along the way.

Schools

GEMS Metropole School - Motor City offers the National Curriculum for England from Foundation Stage to Year 13. Nurseries in the community include Emirates British Nursery, Jebel Ali Village Nursery Motor City and Building Blocks Nursery, all following the British EYFS curriculum.

Healthcare

Medcare Medical Centre Motor City, at The Ribbon Mall, is a multi-specialty clinic with around 13 doctors covering dentistry, dermatology, ENT, family medicine, gastroenterology, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedics, paediatrics and physiotherapy. Prime Medical Center and Medicentres also operate clinics in the community.

Before you buy

Motor City is a freehold area, master-planned by Union Properties, open to foreign buyers under the same national framework as Dubai's other freehold areas (Law No. 7 of 2006 and Regulation No. 3 of 2006): a buyer of any nationality can hold full title to the unit and register it with the Dubai Land Department. Union Properties reports a substantial unlaunched pipeline in the master development, so buyers should check each project's own handover date. Dubai Land Department registration fees and other transaction costs are the same citywide, see our buyer costs guide for the current breakdown. Service charge is set per building by its owners' association and varies across Uptown and Green Community, not published in aggregate here.
