About the area

MAG City Residences is a residential enclave within MAG City in the Meydan area of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City). The masterplan evolved from an initial concept of 28 mid-rise apartment blocks to a smaller cluster of built blocks, with much of the originally planned land reallocated to Ketura, a neighbourhood with luxury villas and larger apartment buildings.

What this place is and where it sits

MAG City Residences sits within the broader MAG City district in Meydan, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The development began as a mid-rise apartment scheme, with an original plan for 28 mid-rise buildings. During planning and construction, the scheme was scaled back. Several originally numbered blocks were not constructed, and the land was repurposed as Ketura, which now contains villas and larger apartment buildings. The neighbourhood therefore combines different housing types.

Early plans included building numbers MAG 700, 710, 720, 730, 740, 750, 760 and 770, which were not part of the realised development.
