Empire Livings

About Empire Livings

Empire Livings is Empire Developments’ Dubai Science Park project: 14 residential floors on multiple podiums with a rooftop retreat, in studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms with private pools and duplexes. The developer sells it on curved balconies, smart-home features and a podium terrace, and the portal’s 25-feature list is the richest of the three projects — pools, gym, padel and tennis, spa and sauna, yoga areas, retail and restaurants, concierge and 24/7 security.

What is for sale. The studio is priced: 428 sq ft for AED 695,000, or AED 1,624 per square foot. The developer’s own plan list gives the rest of the range: studios from 352–428 sq ft, one-bedrooms 580–1,085 sq ft, one-beds with pool 622–1,085 sq ft, and a duplex at 1,071 sq ft. Note that the smallest studio here is 352 sq ft — genuinely compact — while the largest one-bedroom doubles it.

The district is the argument. Dubai Science Park is a working business and healthcare hub between Al Barsha South and Arjan, with hospitals, clinics, laboratories, offices and a growing residential component. That gives it something Liwan and Arjan do not: a tenant base that walks or drives two minutes to work, and an employer base that keeps rents supported. It is also close to Dubai Hills and the Al Khail Road corridor.

What is missing. No payment plan is published, no service charge, and no construction update on the developer’s page — which is mostly a 360-degree viewer and a contact form. The gallery includes a street-level image with tower cranes on the skyline, which is honest but also the only indication of site activity. Ask for the contractor’s programme before you accept Q4 2027.

The honest read. The best-located of the three Empire projects and the one with the most defensible rental story, sold with the least information. If you are choosing between them on address, this is the pick; if you are choosing on evidence, it is the one where you have the least.

Compiled November 2026 from Empire Developments’ own Empire Livings page (floor-plan sizes, unit types) and the listing portal’s record (studio price, handover Q4 2027, feature tags). A third-party tracker describes the project as planned and is labelled as third-party. The portal’s price records for all three Empire projects were last refreshed in November 2025, so every figure here is around a year old at publication. Not a valuation.

Layouts, sizes and price

One type priced, three on application:

The spread inside each type is wide, and it matters more than the average. A 352 sq ft studio and a 428 sq ft studio are different products with different rents, and a 580 sq ft one-bedroom next to a 1,085 sq ft one-bedroom is a 500 sq ft difference in the same building. Ask which stack your unit is in before you accept a “from” price.

At 428 sq ft the studio is workable; at 352 it is a hotel room with a kitchenette. Both can rent in Dubai Science Park because of the employee base, but price them separately rather than as one line in a brochure.

Price and payment plan

No payment plan is published for Empire Livings in text. The developer’s page for this project does not even list one as a download — it offers a 360-degree viewer and a contact form. Only Empire Estate publishes a structure. Ask for the schedule and read it against the Q4 2027 date.

Budget about AED 736,700 all-in on the studio. Because a third-party tracker still describes this project as planned, the payment schedule is the single most important document: a plan weighted to construction milestones on a building that has not started is really an unsecured loan to the developer for two years.

Amenities

The portal lists 25 features: adult and kids’ pools, infinity pool, gym and fitness centre, spa and sauna, yoga and meditation areas, tennis and padel courts, sports court, kids’ play area, multipurpose lounge, barbecue areas, walking and jogging tracks, cycling tracks, retail, restaurants and cafés, supermarket, concierge, 24/7 security, parking and a grand entrance lobby.

On a 14-floor building this is a stacked amenity programme rather than a resort — a podium pool, a gym, a court and a rooftop retreat. That is sensible for the address: Dubai Science Park residents work long hours and will use a gym far more than a lagoon. Ask which amenities are on the podium, which are on the roof, and whether the padel and tennis courts are shared with the neighbouring buildings, because shared facilities have a way of becoming someone else’s service charge.

Where it is

Dubai Science Park is a mixed-use district on the Al Khail Road corridor between Al Barsha South, Arjan and Dubai Hills, built around healthcare, laboratories, offices and education, with a growing residential layer above and beside them. Its selling point is proximity to work: Mediclinic Parkview and the surrounding clinics, the science and technology tenants, and Dubai Hills Mall are all within a short drive.

That gives it a tenant base with jobs on the doorstep, which is the most durable kind of rental demand. It also gives it traffic at commuter hours and a district that empties at weekends. There is no metro inside the park; the Red Line runs to the west via Al Barsha, and most people drive.

As a buyer, the question is whether you are buying a rental product or a home. For a rental product, a studio or one-bedroom close to the hospitals is one of the better small-unit bets in this portfolio. For a home, the district is short on parks and nightlife, and the amenity deck is doing a lot of the work.
