Aurelia Residence

About Aurelia Residence

Aurelia Residence is Object 1’s only Dubai Sports City project carried by the listing portal, and the one that most clearly competes on price. Studios, one, two and larger family apartments across a mid-rise building, priced from AED 598,000 — below anything else the developer offers in JVC or JVT.

What is for sale. Three priced units: a 445 sq ft studio at AED 598,000 (AED 1,344 per square foot), a 760 sq ft one-bedroom at AED 972,000 (AED 1,279) and a 1,238 sq ft two-bedroom at AED 1,600,000 (AED 1,292). The developer additionally lists three and 3.5-bedroom layouts, which the portal does not price.

The district is the product here. Sports City is built around sport: the international cricket stadium and ICC headquarters, academies, training facilities, and golf next door. That gives the area a stable tenant base of coaches, athletes, sports-administration staff and families who want the facilities — and a fairly static one. It is not a district that attracts young professionals who work Downtown, and it is not walkable to a metro.

Cheap for a reason. At AED 1,344 per square foot this is priced below JVC and JVT, and the reason is distance: Sports City sits further from the western employment belt than JVC does, and its rents reflect it. That is not a flaw, it is the trade. If you are buying to let, the yield maths here can be better than a JVC studio at AED 1,798 per square foot — provided the building delivers and the service charge stays sensible.

The honest read. The value pick of the ten: the lowest entry price, the lowest rate per square foot, and a family-sized layout at AED 1.29 million. The risks are district liquidity — Sports City resells more slowly than JVC — and a Q4 2027 delivery date from a developer whose other towers are still in progress.

Compiled November 2026 from Object 1’s own AUREL1A Residence project page (unit types including 3.5-bedroom, amenity list, area description) and the listing portal’s record and description (priced floor plans, handover). The portal’s price records for this developer were last refreshed between July and November 2025, so every figure on this page is at least a year old by publication. Treat it as the shape of the pricing, not today’s price list. Not a valuation.

Layouts, sizes and price

Three unit types priced, and the cheapest rates in the portfolio:

This is the flattest price ladder on any of these pages: every type sits between AED 1,279 and AED 1,344 per square foot, a spread of about 5%. That is what a genuinely competitive price list looks like — no unit is being used as a loss leader and none is being marked up for optimism. It also means the two-bedroom at AED 1.6 million is the pick of the building on a per-foot basis.

Ask for the three and 3.5-bedroom prices. If they land near AED 1,300 per foot, a family apartment around AED 1.8 million in Sports City becomes a serious alternative to a townhouse in JVT.

Price and payment plan

No payment plan is published for Aurelia. On a Q4 2027 build, ask for the schedule before you reserve and check the weighting between construction and handover.

Budget about AED 634,000 all-in on the studio before legal and finance costs. This is the lowest all-in entry point in the Object 1 portfolio carried by the portal — and at this price level, a 4% DLD fee is a much smaller drag than on a AED 2 million apartment.

Amenities

The developer lists swimming pool, gym and fitness centre, spa and sauna, kids play area, landscaping and community spaces, restaurant and cafés, retail, supermarket, parking, cycling tracks and a healthcare facility nearby. The portal adds a health care centre, parks and leisure areas, and 24/7 security.

The supermarket and cycling tracks are the details that fit this district: Sports City tenants are practical people who want to shop and train locally. Ask which of the retail units are let and which are promised — a supermarket in the building is worth more to a tenant than a spa, and the developer’s list suggests they know it.

Where it is

Dubai Sports City sits inland between Al Khail Road and Emirates Road, south of the Marina and north of the Expo corridor, built around the international cricket stadium, ICC headquarters, academies and training facilities. Motor City, with the Autodrome and its own retail strip, is the next district along.

The location is a mixed blessing, honestly stated. Road access is good — Al Khail and Emirates Road reach the Marina, JLT, Al Barsha and the airport, and Al Maktoum International is a straight run south — but there is no metro, and the district is quieter than its brochures suggest. Tenants here drive, and they mostly work locally or in the western belt.

What Sports City has that newer districts do not is built amenity: the stadium, the academies, the golf course next door, schools and a retail base that already exists. For a family renting a two-bedroom, that is the pitch.
