Additional information
  • Afnan District was the first phase of Deyaar's Midtown development. It was launched at the 2014 Cityscape Global event and offered to prospective investors in September 2015.

  • Afnan is a master-planned scheme containing a built-up area of 5 million square feet on 1.2 million square feet of land. It consists of a cluster of seven residential buildings ranging in height from seven to 17 floors and is surrounded by landscaped gardens.

  • The blocks contain 659 apartments (132 studios, 374 one-bed, 143 two-bed and 10 three-bed apartments) ranging in size from 40 to 189sq m and are suitable for middle-income families.

  • The developer says that ‘the neighbourhood is set to create a green and aesthetically pleasing environment by incorporating 400,000sq ft of landscaped terrain’.

  • Afnan District benefits from new infrastructure developments like Dubai Metro connectivity and proximity to City Centre Me’aisem, a multi-utility mall in Dubai Production City.
