Reef 996

About the project

Reef 996 is an active residential project by Reef Developments in Dubai Production City. The building is planned as 1B + G + 3P + 20 and will contain studios plus one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Construction was 5% complete at the latest inspection, with completion scheduled for 30 September 2028.

The project and its outdoor design

Reef 996 is designed around outdoor living features developed for Dubai’s climate. Every residence includes a patented Outdoor-Cooled Sunken Balcony, conceived as an extension of the internal living space. The project also introduces Outdoor-Cooled Garden Lounges, described as the world’s first of their kind within a residential building. These lounges form part of the shared amenity offering alongside pool, fitness and sports facilities. The building configuration comprises one basement level, a ground floor, three podium levels and 20 further floors. The apartment collection spans four layouts: studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. Interior descriptions include high ceilings, panoramic windows, selected finishes and contemporary design details.

Apartment types and interior specification

Studios at Reef 996 range from 400 to 473 square feet. One-bedroom apartments range from 691 to 852 square feet, while two-bedroom residences measure from 1,063 to 1,274 square feet. The three-bedroom range extends from 1,369 to 1,932 square feet. Each residence is specified with a patented Outdoor-Cooled Sunken Balcony. Kitchens include built-in Bosch appliances. Bathrooms are fitted with Grohe bathroom fittings, and the windows and façades use Gutmann aluminium systems. The lobby is planned as a spacious, light-filled arrival area with contemporary finishes, while the corridors use flowing lines and refined finishes. The residence mix provides options from compact studios through to three-bedroom apartments with separate living, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom spaces.

Amenities for leisure, fitness and sport

The amenity programme includes Outdoor-Cooled Garden Lounges, a cinema area and a BBQ area. Fitness facilities comprise a gym, yoga studio, Pilates studio, CrossFit area and locker room. Water-focused spaces include an infinity swimming pool, kids pool, Baja shelf, cabanas and a decking area. The sports offering covers a basketball court, wall climbing, cricket pitch, badminton and volleyball court, cornhole court, and a tennis and padel court. There is also a dedicated kids playing area. These facilities are shown on the first-floor amenity layout, which combines indoor exercise areas with poolside, garden and sports spaces. The project’s cooled outdoor lounges and sunken balconies are the central design features within this wider collection of shared facilities.
