Beverly Gardens

About Beverly Gardens

Beverly Gardens is HMB Homes’ Discovery Gardens project: 220 apartments in a mid-rise building, with studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and — the detail the developer leads with — select one and two-bedroom units with private pools. The developer’s copy sells calm, and the amenity list backs the pitch: a hotel-style lobby, adult pool, outdoor kitchen and dining, fountains, a children’s pool and splash pad, indoor and outdoor kids’ zones, a “calming retreat” zone, open-air cinema, bonfire area, gym, jogging track, padel court, poolside water terrace and barbecue.

What is for sale. Only the studio is priced publicly: 400 sq ft at AED 600,000, or AED 1,500 per square foot. The one and two-bedrooms — including the private-pool units — are all “ask for price” on the portal. That is a strange way to sell a family building, and it is worth saying plainly: the published price is for the unit type least suited to the district, and the units most people would want are unquoted.

The lateness, in context. HMB Homes is not a large developer and Discovery Gardens is not a large site, so a two or three-quarter slip is not a collapse — but it is information. Two of the six HMB Homes projects on the portal have now passed their stated handover quarters while the developer continues to describe both as under construction, and neither has a published construction percentage. If you buy here, the completion date and the delay clause in your sale and purchase agreement are worth more attention than the finishes.

Why Discovery Gardens might still be the right buy. It is the only district in this portfolio with a metro station on the Red Line inside it, next to Ibn Battuta Mall, and it has a deep, established rental market of families and airport and Jebel Ali staff. The low-rise garden district has an older, greener feel than JVC or Arjan, and the developer is right that yields here are strong — it quotes 9–11%, which is a claim rather than a fact, but registered rents in the district are genuinely high relative to purchase prices. A 400 sq ft studio at AED 600,000 with metro access is a coherent investor product in a way that the same unit in Dubailand is not.

The honest read. A sensible building in the most connected district in this portfolio, sold with the least information and delivered late so far. If you buy, buy on a revised completion date in writing, with a delay penalty, and price the studio against registered Discovery Gardens rents rather than the yield claim.

Compiled November 2026 from HMB Homes’ own Beverly Gardens project page (220 units, unit types, amenity list, area notes) and the listing portal’s record (studio price, handover Q2 2026, feature tags). The developer’s site still lists the project as under construction. The portal’s price records for HMB Homes projects were last refreshed between April and November 2025, so every figure on this page is between twelve and nineteen months old at publication. Treat it as the shape of the pricing, not today’s price list. Not a valuation.

Layouts, sizes and price

One type priced, two on application:

A 400 sq ft studio is on the generous side for the type — most of what is being built in JVC now runs 360 to 410 sq ft — and at AED 1,500 per square foot it is the cheapest rate HMB Homes publishes anywhere. That is the whole investment case in one line.

Ask for the price list by type before you form a view on the private-pool units: in this market a private pool on a one-bedroom usually adds AED 150,000–250,000 and a maintenance obligation, and it narrows your resale market to buyers who want the same thing. Get the service-charge apportionment for those units specifically.

Price and payment plan

Beverly Gardens offers a payment-plan download on the developer’s own page, but no percentages are printed in text anywhere we could find — not on the developer’s site, not on the portal. So the schedule exists; you just have to ask for it, and read it against a completion date that has already slipped.

Budget about AED 636,000 all-in on the studio. Then add the part most buyers forget on a late project: every month of delay is a month of rent you do not receive and a month of service charge you may still owe from handover. Ask what the developer’s position is on delay compensation, and whether the completion date in the contract is the one printed in the brochure.

Amenities

The developer claims 25+ amenities and names them: hotel-style lobby, adult pool, outdoor kitchen and dining, fountains, children’s pool, splash pad, indoor and outdoor kids’ zones, calming retreat zone, open-air cinema, bonfire zone, gym, jogging track, padel court, poolside and water terrace, and barbecue. The portal’s feature list adds 24/7 security, covered parking, a supermarket, retail and restaurants, and beach access.

One claim is worth checking rather than repeating: beach access in Discovery Gardens means a drive to JBR or the Jebel Ali beaches, not a beach at the door. The rest of the list is plausible for a 220-unit mid-rise, and the padel court and pool are the two that will actually decide what the building feels like on a weekend. Ask how the amenity deck is maintained and what it costs per square foot, because 220 units carrying a pool, a gym and a padel court is a thin base over which to spread those costs.

Where it is

Discovery Gardens is a low-rise garden district on the Red Line between Ibn Battuta Mall and Jebel Ali, built in phases around landscaped courtyards. It has a metro station of its own, a mall next door, supermarkets and clinics inside the district, and the Al Maktoum airport and Jebel Ali port corridors within a short drive — which is why its rental market is deep and why the yields the developer quotes are not plucked from nowhere.

The trade-off is age and sameness. Much of Discovery Gardens was built in the 2000s, the buildings are low-rise and close together, and a new tower stands out because there is nothing else like it. That is good for a new building’s rental premium and bad for its resale ceiling: buyers here compare against a large pool of older apartments at lower prices.

For a buyer the key question is who your tenant is. Discovery Gardens rents to families and to staff working at the airport, the port and the industrial zones, with the metro as the link to the rest of the city. That tenant profile suits a one or two-bedroom far more than a studio, which is worth remembering given that the studio is the only type the developer has priced publicly.
