About International City

International City is a large residential district in the Al Warsan area of eastern Dubai. Nakheel is its master developer. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road runs to its west and Al Awir Road to its north. The district is mostly low-rise apartment buildings grouped into country-themed clusters, and Dragon Mart, a large Chinese trading centre, sits beside it. The area has 88 buildings with 7,388 apartments, plus 3 villa communities with 749 villas: Warsan Village A, Warsan Village B and Warsan Village D. The first homes were completed in 2008 and the most recent in 2025. Danube Properties Development and Mars Properties Investment are among the developers who have built here. The largest buildings are the Lawnz Residence blocks. Daily needs are close by. The Dsouk mall is about 100 metres away, Care7 Medical Center is about 300 metres away and a park is about 400 metres away, all within walking distance.

International City is an apartment district of about 8,137 apartments, built from 2008 onwards. 88 buildings are complete; the villas sit in three communities. A typical building here has about 60 homes; the tallest, Ldb011, has 11 floors. The buildings come from 12 different developers rather than one master developer; the most active are International City, Danube Properties Development and Mars Properties Investment.

Over the last 12 months 543 apartments changed hands in International City at a median of AED 749 per sqft, up 4.0% on the year before. The typical sale was AED 568,000 for a 729 sqft apartment. One-beds are the largest share of the apartments at 47%, followed by studios at 27%; two-beds are 18% and three-beds are 7%. Rents run at AED 62 per sqft a year, a gross yield of 8.3% at today's prices, above the Dubai-wide 6.0%.
