A partly furnished large-format studio for sale in Ananda Residences, Motor City — 813 sq ft freehold with a private balcony plunge pool, a balcony, kitchen appliances, built-in wardrobes, and a Q2 2028 delivery, at AED 850,454 (approx. AED 1,046/sq ft). For buyers comparing studio apartment options for sale in Ananda Residences Motor City, this is the unit where the classification undersells the product: a standard studio label on a footprint that matches the building’s 1-bedroom tier — with a private pool on the terrace that no standard studio in this building, or in Motor City generally, comes close to offering.
The Private Balcony Pool: Not a Standard Studio
Standard studios in Ananda Residences run 367–403 sq ft. This unit is 813 sq ft. Standard studios do not include a private pool. This one does.
The private balcony plunge pool is confirmed as a “Private Pool in Apartments” feature — allocated to this unit, not shared with the building. In Motor City’s off-plan studio market, a terrace-integrated private pool at AED 850,454 is a specification that places this apartment in a completely different rental and resale category from standard inventory.
For an end-user: a private pool on the terrace transforms a studio into a resort-adjacent lifestyle home at a suburban price. For an investor: a private pool photographs and markets itself — it targets a higher-paying tenant demographic, supports holiday-home positioning, and commands a nightly rate premium that no standard Motor City studio can justify.
The Value Case: 1BR Footprint at a Studio Price
The math behind this unit’s value is straightforward.
- This studio: 813 sq ft at AED 850,454 — approx. AED 1,046/sq ft
- Ananda 1BR: 825 sq ft sold March 2026 at AED 1,336,650 — approx. AED 1,621/sq ft
- Size difference: 12 sq ft
- Price difference: AED 486,196
A buyer who acquires this studio gets 1BR-equivalent space at AED 486,000 below the 1BR transaction price — a 36% saving per square foot for a unit that delivers more private amenities than the 1BR. That is not a promotional offer. It is a structural price gap that reflects the studio classification on a unit that functionally operates as a premium large-format apartment.
Property Highlights
- Price: AED 850,454 — approx. AED 1,046/sq ft; 36% cheaper per sq ft than the Ananda 1BR for a virtually identical footprint
- Private Balcony Plunge Pool: A terrace-integrated private pool confirmed as “Private Pool in Apartments” — not a shared community facility; the single feature that moves this studio into its own category in the Motor City off-plan market
- Size: 813 sq ft — more than double the standard Ananda studio footprint; a layout that genuinely functions as a full residential space, with room to live, work, and entertain without compromise
- Pet-Friendly: Confirmed pets-allowed — a primary search filter for Motor City’s large pet-owning tenant demographic; reduces vacancy risk and broadens the qualified tenant pool immediately
- Central A/C: Building-infrastructure cooling throughout — consistent, efficient, no individual units to maintain
- Premium Fitted Baseline: Fully equipped kitchen appliances and built-in wardrobes included — significantly reducing the day-one fit-out capital required by the buyer
- Balcony: Private outdoor terrace with integrated private pool — the unit’s primary lifestyle and marketing asset
- Payment Plan: Inherited construction-linked plan — buyer assumes the seller’s original payment structure with construction instalments and a post-handover component; no massive upfront lump sum required
- Tenure: Freehold — full ownership rights available to all nationalities
- Handover: Q2 2028 — a structured 24-to-26 month investment cycle with a defined June 2028 endpoint
- Parking: Covered parking included
The Early-Phase Commitment: What It Means
Ananda Residences is in the foundational early phases of its construction cycle — the project is underway, the developer is established, and the Q2 2028 handover provides a defined endpoint. For a buyer, this means:
- Inherited Post-Handover Plan: The buyer assumes the seller’s original structured payment plan, spreading capital across the construction period and beyond handover without the massive upfront cash requirement typical of secondary market transfers
- Tiger Group’s track record: Ananda Residences is a sold-out 54-storey project by Tiger Group, an established Dubai developer with a track record of delivering at scale in this district
This is a structured 24-to-26 month investment cycle with a defined handover — not a Q1 2027 delivery. A buyer who acquires here does so at a specification premium that will be difficult to find in Motor City’s ready market at handover.
Best Suited For
- The lifestyle end-user: A professional or couple who wants a large-format home in Motor City with a private balcony pool — resort-adjacent daily living at a suburban price, in a pet-friendly building with full community amenities and a defined Q2 2028 delivery
- The premium short-term rental investor: A partially furnished 813 sq ft studio with a private pool, pet-friendly status, and a 54-storey Motor City address is a short-term rental asset with a specification profile that standard Motor City studios simply cannot match — the private pool drives nightly rate premiums and booking differentiation on holiday-home platforms that no shared-pool studio can justify
- The value-entry off-plan buyer: A buyer who wants freehold ownership in an established Dubai suburb at AED 850,454 — the price of a compact 1-bed in many Dubai districts — with a private pool, pet-friendly community, inherited construction-linked payment plan, and Q2 2028 handover
Building & Community
- Ananda Residences is a 54-storey freehold residential tower by Tiger Group in Motor City — a sold-out development featuring studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and duplex apartments with a full lifestyle amenity stack: outdoor pool, gym and health club, spa, tennis and basketball courts, children’s play area, running and walking track, BBQ area, co-working spaces, and 24/7 concierge
- Motor City is one of Dubai’s most established and liveable mid-density residential communities — lower-rise than Dubai Marina, less transient than Downtown, and consistently attractive to both owner-occupiers and long-stay tenants who want community character, green space, and practical suburban connectivity
- The community’s proximity to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Dubai Sports City, and the Dubai Autodrome places it within easy reach of the city’s western residential and entertainment corridor — practical for daily commuting, weekend leisure, and the school supply that family-oriented Motor City tenants consistently require
Location
- 5 minutes to Dubai Autodrome and 7 minutes to Dubai Sports City — the active lifestyle infrastructure corridor that defines Motor City’s residential identity
- 15–16 minutes to Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Hills Mall — two of Dubai’s most significant retail and F&B anchors within a single short drive
- 18–19 minutes to Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina — waterfront lifestyle access without a Marina address premium
- 20–25 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport — practical connectivity for business travel and city-wide access

Q: Is Ananda Residences a strong investment in Motor City’s off-plan market at AED 850,454? A: A freehold 813 sq ft partly furnished studio with a private balcony plunge pool and full community amenities in an established Motor City community at AED 1,046/sq ft is a competitive off-plan entry at this price band. Because the developer is completely sold out, secondary market resales like this are the only way to access this specific layout — there is no queue at the developer’s office.

Q: What does Q2 2028 handover mean for a buyer committing today? A: Q2 2028 means a structured 24-to-26 month investment cycle with a defined June 2028 endpoint. The structured payment plan spreads capital progressively across the construction period and post-handover, reducing the upfront cash requirement.
