FAQ
Nad Al Sheba Gardens resale questions
What is Nad Al Sheba Gardens?
Nad Al Sheba Gardens is a gated, freehold community of 3-bed townhouses and 4 to 7-bed villas by Meraas (Dubai Holding) in Nad Al Sheba, about 10 minutes from Downtown Dubai. It was released in phases, all of which have sold out with the developer, so homes now trade on the resale market. The Grand community mall (anchored by Waitrose) opened in August 2026 and a Rugby School campus opened in the 2026-27 academic year.
Can I still buy from the developer?
All released phases have sold out with Meraas, so buying in Nad Al Sheba Gardens today means buying a resale from an existing owner, including off-plan units in later phases. Our guide covers what owners originally paid and what resales are registering now, phase by phase.
How much did early buyers pay in Phase 2 and Phase 3?
The median first sale in Phase 2 was AED 4.33M and in Phase 3 AED 4.91M, across all home sizes. Prices vary a lot by size; see the price table on each phase page.
What are Nad Al Sheba Gardens resales selling for now?
Over the last 12 months, 3-bed townhouses resold at a median of AED 5.7M in Phase 2 and AED 5.15M in Phase 3; 3-bed semi-detached homes at about AED 6.5M; and 4-bed villas at about AED 12M. See the type tables on each phase page.
Is it a good investment?
In Phases 2 and 3, townhouse and semi-detached resales over the last year registered 35% to 53% above the median original price, and 4-bed villas 11% to 24% above. Not every resale gained: a few sold flat or lower. Past prices are not a guarantee. Tell us your goal and we will give you an honest view for a specific unit.
What about Phase 1?
Phase 1 was largely plots sold and built independently, so homes are not standardised. DLD shows 20 resales of built homes at a median AED 11M. Phases 2 and 3 are where like-for-like comparison is possible.
What is the potential for future growth in Nad Al Sheba Gardens?
Meraas raised its price phase by phase. A 3-bed townhouse first sold for a median of about AED 3.8M in Phases 2 and 3, AED 4.6M to 4.9M in Phases 4 to 8, and AED 5.9M to 6.2M in Phases 10 and 11. Phase 2 and 3 townhouses now resell around AED 5.2M to 5.7M, ready to move into, below what Meraas charged off-plan for the latest phases. That gap is history, not a forecast, and later designs are larger.
Is Nad Al Sheba Gardens the right fit for me?
It suits buyers who want a spacious, modern villa or townhouse with a garden in a gated, exclusive community close to Downtown Dubai, from 3-bed townhouses to large independent villas. If you need a beach, a metro or a ready-made school next door, ask us to compare other communities honestly.
What return could an investor expect?
Track record first: owners who resold in Phases 2 and 3 made a median of about 18% to 20% over roughly two years, around 9% to 11% a year, and 97% or more sold above what they paid (DLD unit ledgers, before fees). Add a gross rent of about 5% and the unlevered return has been roughly 15% a year; a mortgage magnifies it either way. Past results are not a forecast; try your own numbers in our investor calculator.
Are the plot and unit numbers public?
