Elie Saab À Vie

About Elie Saab À Vie

Elie Saab À Vie is the designer-branded phase of The Fields, the townhouse masterplan that G&Co Properties has been building in District 11 of Mohammed Bin Rashid City since 2015. Two-storey townhouses, four bedrooms in the layout the listing portal prices, interiors by the Lebanese fashion house Elie Saab, private gardens, and a community clubhouse shared with the neighbouring clusters. The developer’s project site calls it “luxury finds a home in Meydan” and puts two songs between the community and Downtown; the address on the title is District 11, which is the Meydan South side of Mohammed Bin Rashid City.

What “branded” means here — and what it does not. This is not a hotel-branded residence. There is no operator, no concierge service programme, no brand licence running through your service charge and no benefits scheme in a loyalty app. Elie Saab’s contribution is design and fit-out: interiors, finishes and the visual language of the house. That distinction matters at resale, and in the buyer’s favour: a design premium is baked into the home and cannot be cancelled, whereas a hotel brand can walk away at the end of a management agreement. What you are paying for is the specification you can see, and what you should test is whether the market still pays for it when you sell.

The price, and the only number worth arguing about. The portal lists a single four-bedroom townhouse of 3,562 sq ft at AED 4,850,000 — about AED 1,362 per square foot. The useful comparison is not another city, it is the same street: The Fields contains several clusters by the same developer with different specifications, and the gap between the Elie Saab phase and the plain ones is the design premium, priced in public. Ask what the neighbouring clusters trade at, subtract, and decide whether the interiors are worth the difference. If they are, buy the best-kept example; if they are not, buy next door.

The community you are joining. The Fields clubhouse gives residents a gym, a wellness centre, a yoga area, indoor and outdoor children’s play, a residents’ lounge, a children’s party hall and an outdoor gardening area, according to the developer. The portal’s description adds a community mall with retail, groceries, dining and pharmacies inside the masterplan. District 11 also has the racecourse next door and the Meydan retail and hospitality cluster a short drive away — and, in 2026, a liquid resale market: the developer’s own published figures, citing Dubai Land Department data, counted 1,281 sales across Meydan One and Meydan Avenue between January and late October 2026.

The honest state of play. Because the community is finished, the questions change. You are buying a resale or a resale assignment, so the diligence is a title deed, a statement of account, a service-charge certificate, a snagging history and a look at who has been living next door. Completed branded stock also has a second-hand problem that off-plan does not: the interiors are now used, and how the previous owner kept them is worth more of your attention than the original render.

What to weigh. The service charge. A clubhouse with a gym, wellness centre, lounge and party hall, plus landscaped streets and a community mall, is a real cost base. Ask for the current rate per square foot and what the master community charges on top.

Layout and plot. The developer claims plots 18% larger than the market; treat that as marketing until you have the plot dimensions in the title plan. In a townhouse, the garden is half the value.

The brand’s resale behaviour. Designer interiors age differently from hotel services. Look at what other Elie Saab-branded homes in The Fields have asked and achieved, not at the launch brochure, and expect the premium to be largest in the first resale and thinner afterwards.

The commute. District 11 is a car address. Al Khail Road is close and Downtown is a straight run north, but there is no metro inside the district and school runs are on the road, not on foot. Drive it at 8am before you decide it works.

Compiled November 2026 from G&Co Properties’ project site for Elie Saab VIE at The Fields (delivery target, launch payment plan, clubhouse list, plot claim), its corporate site (company history, delivered schemes, contact details) and its published 2026 article citing Dubai Land Department sales figures for Meydan; together with the listing portal’s record for the price, size, floor plan, amenities and status. Third-party completion dates are described as third-party. Prices are the portal’s and are not a valuation.

Homes, sizes and price

The portal carries one priced floor plan for this community. Everything else in The Fields is priced by whoever is selling it.

A rate of about AED 1,362 per square foot is the number to carry into every conversation about this community. It is a built-area figure, so it says nothing about the garden — and in a townhouse the plot is a large part of the price. Ask each seller for the plot area, the built-up area and whether the garage and terraces are counted, then re-run the rate on a like-for-like basis. Two homes at the same price with different gardens are not the same home.

The portal describes the home as a villa; the wider release describes two-storey townhouses. Naming aside, check which side of the row you are on — an end unit with a larger plot and only one shared wall behaves differently at resale from a mid-terrace.

Price and payment plan

At launch the developer advertised a 40 | 60 payment plan — 40% during construction, 60% on handover — and the project site still shows it. The listing portal records no payment plan at all. On a completed community both facts are history: the original buyer’s 60% has been paid, and what you are negotiating is the price of a finished house.

Budget roughly AED 5.14 million before legal fees and any mortgage costs, and remember that the service charge is a separate annual bill rather than a one-off. If the seller is still on a payment plan of their own — unusual, but it happens where a unit was never formally handed over — the statement of account tells you what remains and who owes it.

There is a second reason to read the paperwork: the address. Confirm on the title deed that the unit is registered in District 11, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, and that the project name on the DLD record matches the name on the brochure. Communities marketed under a landmark’s name often carry a different official description.

Amenities

The developer’s own list is short and specific: The Fields Club House, with a gym, a wellness centre, a yoga area, indoor and outdoor children’s play, a residents’ lounge, a children’s party hall and an outdoor gardening area. That is a sensible community set for townhouses, and the gardening area is a nice touch in a market where private gardens are usually the only green space.

The portal’s list is longer and looser: it includes a swimming pool, spa and sauna, a central park, a community clubhouse and centre, a health care centre, an amusement park and beach access. Two of those need flagging plainly. District 11 is inland: any beach is a drive, not an amenity. And no amusement park appears in the developer’s description of The Fields — the nearest things of that kind are in the wider Meydan and Al Barari area. Treat the portal’s tags as what is around the district, and ask the developer which facilities are inside the community and which belong to a neighbouring cluster.

Also ask about the shared facilities’ management. Clubhouses in multi-cluster masterplans are sometimes owned and run by the master community rather than the building, which changes both access rules and cost allocation. Get the answer in writing before you buy into it.

Where it is

District 11 sits in the Meydan South part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, with Meydan Racecourse and Nad Al Sheba to the north and Al Khail Road the main approach to the city. It is a low-rise, gated, car-dependent district: townhouse clusters, landscaped streets, schools and retail inside the masterplan, and the Meydan retail and hospitality cluster a short drive away.

The address is genuinely central by Dubai standards — north up Al Khail Road takes you to the Trade Centre and Downtown, east to Dubai-Al Ain Road and the inland districts. What it is not is walkable to a metro: there is no station inside District 11, and the nearest practical line is a drive away. For a family with two cars that is fine; for a household expecting to commute by train it is not the district.

Liquidity is worth knowing about. G&Co’s own published figures, citing Dubai Land Department data, counted 1,281 registered sales across Meydan One and Meydan Avenue between 1 January and 25 October 2026. That is a healthy volume for a district of this size, and it means a resale here has comparables — provided you compare like with like, which in District 11 means cluster, plot and spec.

For the wider area see our Meydan community guide and the MBR City guide. If you are drawn to the designer name rather than this address, note that Dubai has a second Elie Saab-branded community by a different developer in Arabian Ranches — see Elie Saab Villas — and the two are not interchangeable.
