International City 2 is a district of Dubai.
International City 2 is a planned extension of Nakheel’s International City in Dubai’s Warsan 4 area. Covering 731 hectares, it combines the areas commonly known as Phase 2 and Phase 3. The district is in the early stages of development, with mid- and low-rise residential neighbourhoods, newly released land parcels and a central zone designated for taller towers.
International City 2 forms part of Nakheel’s International City programme and occupies land within Warsan 4. The site is bounded by Emirates Road to the west, Academic City to the east, Dubai Silicon Oasis to the south and International City 1 to the north. A DEWA high-voltage power reservation corridor separates it from International City 1 along the northern edge. Along the eastern boundary, frontage to Academic City Road is separated from the site by an easement reserved for a potential Dubai–Sharjah gas pipeline. The masterplan includes a central high-rise circle surrounded by low- and mid-rise neighbourhoods.
Public transport access is currently limited. The nearest Dubai Metro station is on the Red Line, around 9,071 metres from the site, making it impractical to reach on foot. A Blue Line metro route and station are planned for the corridor originally designed as a green belt between Phase 2 and Phase 3, which could significantly improve local accessibility.
Typical driving times from International City 2 include:
There is currently no direct transport connection to Dubai Silicon Oasis despite its immediate proximity.
The central circular area of International City 2 is allocated to taller towers, while the remainder of the site is planned for low- and mid-rise apartment buildings. Unlike International City 1, land parcels were sold to private developers, resulting in a varied architectural character rather than a uniform building style. The area originally labelled Phase 3 was developed before Phase 2, so the two phases progressed in a non-sequential order.
Phase 2 was rebranded as Greenview and redesigned for townhouses and villas, with parcels made available to private developers. Phase 3 is associated primarily with mid-rise apartment buildings.
Roads and pavements are substantially in place across the site, with pavements installed along most streets. Landscaping and planted greenery remain limited, while public open spaces are being established in line with the staged masterplan. On-street parking is common on sand curbs and undeveloped plots between buildings. The community remains at an early stage of development, with basic infrastructure and a small number of grocery and retail outlets in operation.
Nakheel awarded an AED 250 million infrastructure contract to GMT Consortium, a joint venture of General Mechanic Co, Melli Sakhteman Co and Tossar International Construction Co. The 11-month works programme includes road construction, district cooling, power and communications networks, water distribution, sewerage, fire services and irrigation.
The masterplan divides International City 2 into five character zones, each with a distinct role in the neighbourhood layout:
Private developments in International City 2 include Zyra Hills, Sports View Residence, 4B Living, Moonsa Residences 2, Moonsa Residences, Elevia Residences 3, Elevia Residences and Dar Al Aiham One.
International City 2 may appeal to buyers and occupiers comfortable with a neighbourhood in transition. The area combines Greenview townhouse and villa parcels with mid-rise apartment neighbourhoods, while a significant share of plots has been allocated to private developers. Those considering a move should take account of the staged delivery of public-realm and utility improvements when planning their timing and occupation.
Q: Is there a Dubai Metro station in International City 2?
A: The nearest Red Line metro station is approximately 9,071 metres away and is not within walking distance of the development. A future Blue Line route and station are planned for the corridor between the phases, which could improve public transport access.
Q: What types of homes are planned?
A: The masterplan includes a mix of homes. Mid-rise apartment buildings are concentrated outside the central circle and in Phase 3, while Phase 2, rebranded as Greenview, is planned for townhouses and villas. Private developers have created a variety of building designs across the district.
Q: What is the current state of utilities and roads?
A: Road networks and pavements are largely in place across most streets. An AED 250 million infrastructure programme covers road works, district cooling, power and communications, water distribution, sewerage, fire services and irrigation.

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved +20% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 9 years, from 2017.
* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
