Motor City
Dubai’s Motorsport-Themed Suburb
Built around the Dubai Autodrome. Three distinct sub-communities. The best yielding family-suburb in Dubai.
Why Motor City Still Sets the Benchmark
Motor City is one of Dubai’s most quietly successful master-plans. Built by Union Properties around the Dubai Autodrome — the UAE’s only FIA Grade 1 circuit — the community combines the brand identity of motorsport with the practical reality of affordable suburban living. Over 20,000 residents live across four distinct zones: Green Community Motor City, UpTown Motor City, Fox Hill, and Green View.
The community has quietly become one of the most sought-after mid-market pockets in Dubai for young professionals and growing families. Apartments in Fox Hill and UpTown lease in days at gross yields of 7–9%, among the highest in Dubai’s apartment sector. Villas in Green Community Motor City offer a rare suburban lifestyle with mature landscaping at AED 1,000–1,400 per sqft — well below comparable Arabian Ranches pricing.
The Motor City advantage is the trifecta: affordable entry, proven tenant demand and a completed master-plan. Unlike many newer communities still waiting for amenities, Motor City already has First Avenue Mall, Motor City Centre, a veterinary hospital, dental clinics, GEMS Metropole School, Regent International and multiple nurseries — all inside the community.
