Sports City Overview
Dubai Sports City is being built around five major sports venues and features a number of sports academies. Located on Mohammad Bin Zayed Road the residential aspect of the project consists of mid-rise apartment buildings, townhouses and villas. Several of the sports facilities have been completed but there are several vacant residential plots where construction has not yet started.
Sports City contains three distinct residential districts: Canal Residence, Victory Heights and Gallery Villas.
Canal Residence is a collection of apartment buildings designed in different architectural styles bordering the 1.2 kilometre long, 15 metre wide waterway. There are studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments all sharing community gymnasiums, swimming pools, barbeque spots and children’s play areas.
Victory Heights is a seven-village development built on the golf course fairways and consists of almost a thousand villas and townhouses in different sizes with different facilities.
Gallery Villas is the upmarket district with 75 exclusive three- and five-bedroom villas and townhouses, also built around the golf course.
- The master developer is Dubai Sports City.
- From Sports City it takes roughly 22 minutes to drive to Dubai Mall, 17 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 19 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 20 minutes to The Walk JBR.
- Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 40 minutes' drive and the new Al Maktoum International Airport is roughly 29 minutes' drive. All durations are calculated by Google Maps and assume the fastest route in typical traffic conditions.

Sports City Amenities
The 18-hole Ernie Els designed golf course and clubhouse at the centre of Sports City is open for business and receiving some good reviews. So too are The Dome Dubai, a 10,000-seat multi purpose indoor arena, and the 25,000-seat cricket stadium which regularly hosts international matches and concerts. There are also sports academies for cricket, swimming, rugby, football, tennis and golf and the International Cricket Council has its HQ here as well. Still to come is a 60,000-seater stadium for football, rugby, track and field events, and a rugby sports park.
An attraction for many young families is sure to be The Bradenton Preparatory Academy, an American curriculum school that opened in 2009.
Construction History
The majority of the 160 building plots in Sports City are for mid-rise (ie up to 25 floors) residential towers. To date September 2020 we estimate that 57 buildings have been completed, 7 more are under construction, and 13 are ‘on hold’, so it’ll be some time before this place is finished.
