Fairway Residences

About Fairway Residences

Fairway Residences is the smallest of Prescott’s four active buildings: 156 apartments in a 14-storey tower on the edge of Dubai Sports City, with studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. Every home is sold fully furnished, with smart-home technology, and the building’s selling point is literal — the fairways of the Els Club, with golf views from the apartments that face them.

The cheapest way into this developer’s product. A 419 sq ft studio is portal-listed at AED 585,000, or AED 1,396 per square foot — the lowest rate of the four Prescott projects, and roughly 20% below the studio rate at Legado. Only the studio is priced; the one-, two- and three-bedrooms are on application, which is the more common arrangement in this market and the reason Verano’s full ladder is worth reading as a comparator.

Furnished changes the sums. A furnished handover is genuinely useful: it removes a five-figure fit-out from your first year and it makes the unit lettable immediately. It also raises two questions. What exactly does “fully furnished” include — loose furniture, white goods, kitchenware, curtains — and who replaces it when it wears out? And does the building permit short-term and holiday-home lets, because furnished studios near a golf club and a cricket stadium are exactly the stock that short-let operators want, and buildings often restrict them after handover. Get both answers in writing.

The date problem, stated plainly. The portal says Q3 2026. That quarter has ended, and the developer’s last published count is 44.05%, from the end of Q2 2026. Nothing in the public record says the building has been handed over or is about to be, and the developer’s site files Fairway under on-going projects with no completion date. Treat Q3 2026 as missed and ask for the revised date. If you are buying to live in, this is the item that decides the purchase; if you are buying to let, it decides your first year of income.

Amenities sized to a small building. The portal lists an infinity pool and a rooftop pool, a private cinema, co-working space, a games room, a business lounge, a gym, kids’ play areas, barbecue and outdoor dining areas and retail outlets. For 156 apartments that is a lot of amenity per unit — good for the lifestyle, and expensive per owner, because the same pool plant and cinema maintenance is divided by fewer apartments than in a 600-unit tower. This is the building of the four where the service charge matters most.

The honest read. Fairway has the best product story of the four: small, furnished, with a real golf frontage, in a district that already has schools, clinics and the stadium. It also has the weakest delivery story: a portal handover date that has passed and a 44% build. Buy it for the product and the price per square foot, not for the date, and make the revised handover date and the service charge conditions of the reservation.

Compiled November 2026 from Prescott Developments’ own Fairway Residences project page (156 homes, furnished specification, amenities, travel times) and Quarter 2 2026 construction update (44.05%), and the listing portal’s record (studio price, 14 storeys, Q3 2026 handover), whose Fairway figures were last refreshed in May 2025. Not a valuation.

Layouts, sizes and price

One type priced, three on application:

The studio is the only row with a number, and it is a good one: AED 1,396 per square foot is the lowest rate in this portfolio, below Serene Gardens II at 1,509, Verano at 1,559 and Legado at 1,637. Part of that is the district, part of it is the late handover, and part of it is simply that studios are cheapest where the building is cheapest.

Ask for the one-, two- and three-bedroom prices before you commit to the studio. In a 156-unit building the larger units are the scarce stock, and if the one-bedroom prices under about AED 1,100,000 it will come in below AED 1,400 per square foot — which would make it the better purchase on rate and the better rental on space.

Note also what a small building means for resale: fewer apartments means fewer competing sellers at any one time, which helps, and a thinner pool of comparable sales, which makes valuation harder. Ask what the last three resales in the building or its neighbours achieved.

Price and payment plan

No payment plan is published for Fairway Residences, and no service charge. On a building whose amenity list includes two pools, a cinema, a co-working floor and retail, the service charge is the number that most affects your annual cost, and it is the one nobody will volunteer. The developer’s general FAQ confirms DLD registration at 4% plus administrative fees and registration within 60 days of sale.

About AED 620,000 to complete on the studio. Because the handover date has passed, there are three specific things to ask for that do not apply to an early-stage project: the revised completion date and the delay clause, whether any compensation for delay is built into the sale contract, and what the status of the unit is now — off-plan, or a completed unit being sold on. If it is still off-plan after the portal’s date, your money is in a building that is 44% finished, and the schedule should reflect that.

Also ask whether the price includes the furniture package in the sale contract or as a side arrangement, because a furnished handover that is not written into the contract is not a furnished handover.

Amenities

The developer promotes five amenities on the page — barbecue area, business lounge, games room, gym and kids’ play area — and the body copy leans on the golf: direct views across the fairways, a furnished specification and smart-home technology in every home. The portal adds an infinity pool and a rooftop pool, a private cinema, co-working space, outdoor dining areas, a health care centre and retail outlets.

Two of those are worth pressing. Two pools in a 156-unit building is generous and costly; ask which one is for residents, whether the rooftop pool is shared with any hospitality operation, and what the pool plant adds to the service charge. And retail outlets and a health care centre are almost certainly neighbouring buildings or the district, not this tower — a 14-storey residential block on a golf course does not contain a clinic. Take the developer’s five named amenities as the building’s own and treat the rest as area features.

Where it is

Dubai Sports City is a mature, low-density district built around sport: the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the Els Club golf course, academies and sports facilities, with Motor City next door and the Marina about fifteen minutes away. It is unusually green for Dubai, and unusually quiet — it was built for families and for people who play.

The developer’s own travel times: Dubai International Cricket Stadium 3 minutes, The Els Club 5, Dubai Marina Mall 15; The Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai 5, Renaissance School 10, Emirates International School 15; Saudi German Clinic 5. Those are the numbers that sell this district — schools and clinics within five to ten minutes are rarer than they should be.

There is no Metro in Sports City, and no funded line through it. Everyone drives; Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Hessa Street do the work, and the Marina is the nearest employment and leisure hub.

For a buyer, this is a family-rental district with a limited supply of furnished studios and one-bedrooms. That is the gap Fairway is aiming at — but check what similar furnished units in Sports City and Motor City actually rent for, because the golf view is a premium buyers pay for and tenants often will not.
