Union Properties Breaks Ground on ‘Mirdad’, AED 2 Billion Community Development in Motor City
Union Properties PJSC (DFM: UPP) has officially broken ground on ‘Mirdad’, a flagship AED 2 billion master-planned community development in Dubai Motor City, marking the company’s second major project in the area and reinforcing its renewed growth strategy.
The groundbreaking represents a key milestone for Union Properties as it advances a development approach centred on innovative master planning, architectural excellence and wellness-driven urban living. The ceremony was attended by Mohamed Fardan Ali Al Fardan, Chairman; Abdul Wahab Al Halabi, Vice Chairman; Eng. Amer Khansaheb, CEO and Board Member; along with other members of the board.
Comprising four architecturally designed towers, Mirdad reflects Union Properties’ vision for modern, connected and sustainable communities that foster a strong sense of belonging. The development spans 356,931 square feet and will deliver 1,087 residential units, including a limited collection of luxury lofts and well-appointed apartments designed to maximise natural light, panoramic views and efficient layouts.
Residents will have access to more than 26 indoor and outdoor lifestyle amenities, supporting a holistic living experience. The project incorporates smart building technologies, landscaped green spaces and extensive sustainability features, including EV charging infrastructure across 647 of the 1,294 parking spaces, energy-efficient façades and environmentally responsible materials.
Enabling works for the project include the excavation of 446,000 cubic metres of soil and the construction of a 716-metre shoring boundary, establishing the foundation for the next phase of construction.
Strategically located in the heart of Motor City, Mirdad is surrounded by established retail and leisure destinations, with proximity to two upcoming public park developments. The project also benefits from connectivity between Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport, enhancing its appeal to both residents and investors seeking accessibility, lifestyle value and long-term growth potential.
Scheduled for completion in Q4 2028, Mirdad is guided by principles of sustainable design and architectural distinction, underscoring Union Properties’ ongoing commitment to delivering future-ready, liveable communities aligned with Dubai’s long-term urban vision
