About Ketura Reserve by MAG Group

Ketura Reserve is MAG Group’s most prestigious and design-led residential development — a landmark luxury wellness community built around the concept of Bio Living in District 7, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Meydan, Dubai. Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Charles Wu — whose portfolio spans high-profile residential and commercial projects in the UK, Asia, and the United States — Ketura Reserve reimagines the townhouse typology as a 3-storey villa-type home that blurs the boundary between private mansion and resort living. The development comprises 4-bedroom townhouses, 5-bedroom townhouses, 1–4-bedroom apartments, and 4-bedroom full-floor penthouses, with a design philosophy rooted in Biophilic Design — the integration of natural elements into architecture to engage all five human senses and promote physical and mental well-being. Each 3-storey townhouse is organised as two distinct zones connected by a passerelle bridge: the communal space at the front (living, entertaining, kitchen) and the private space at the back (bedrooms, bathrooms, retreat). The result is a home that functions as both a social destination and a private sanctuary — a typology unique in the Dubai market. Every townhouse comes fully furnished in a natural cream-champagne-bronze tone-on-tone palette with wood, stone, glass, and metal finishes, and includes premium appliances from Dyson, Quooker, and Miele. The private rooftop pool, rooftop terrace with BBQ, entertainment kitchen, and double parking make this the most complete villa specification available in the MBR City corridor at this price point.

Community and Lifestyle — Bio Living

• The Park at Ketura Reserve: 28,000 square metres of curated green space planted with hundreds of olive trees — the living heart of the community and the defining outdoor amenity that all park-view units face
• Biophilic Design is not a stylistic choice but a structural philosophy: windows are oriented for maximum natural daylight and passive cooling, almost negating the need for air conditioning — a genuinely differentiated sustainability proposition
• Bio Living Farms for Kids — a live agricultural education programme integrated into the community grounds — unique in any Dubai residential development
• Rooftop meditation and yoga spaces as community amenities — aligned with the mental wellness proposition that defines the Ketura Reserve resident experience
• The community is positioned in MBR City District 7, Meydan — 10 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, 15 minutes from Dubai Hills Mall, and within a 22-minute drive of Dubai International Airport
• Meydan Racecourse — home to the Dubai World Cup — is 10 minutes away; Deep Dive Dubai (the world’s deepest swimming pool), The Track Meydan Golf, and Nad Al Sheba Park are all within 15 minutes
• MBR City’s Crystal Lagoon and District One are adjacent — reinforcing the premium neighbourhood positioning
• Al Khail Road, Sheikh Zayed Road, and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road all provide direct connectivity from this address
• Ketura Reserve townhouses achieve rental yields of approximately 7% per annum — extraordinary for a villa-type asset of this scale and specification in MBR City

Layout and Floor Plan

Ketura Reserve 4-bedroom townhouses span 4,500 sq ft across three floors in a unique dual-zone layout connected by an internal passerelle bridge — an architectural feature that creates two distinct experiential environments within the same home. The front zone (communal space) includes the entertainment kitchen, dining and living areas, and social spaces — designed for engaging guests and family gatherings. The rear zone (private space) houses the bedrooms, bathrooms, and retreat areas — designed for rest, privacy, and restoration. The ground floor includes the primary living and kitchen spaces, a maid’s room, laundry room, and storage, with direct garden access. The first floor houses the master bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, plus three additional bedrooms with en-suite or shared bathroom access. The rooftop floor delivers the private outdoor pool, terrace with BBQ, and panoramic views of The Park and the MBR City landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout maximise natural daylight. The park-facing orientation delivers a direct outlook over the 28,000 sqm landscaped park. The full floor plan is available on request quoting reference KETURA-MBR-4BR-4500-PKV-001.

Payment Plan — 2 Years Post-Handover

The payment plan for this Ketura Reserve unit includes a 2-year post-handover period on 40% of the purchase value — one of the most buyer-friendly payment structures available on any luxury villa-type asset in Dubai. The structure is as follows: approximately 15% down payment on booking, 45% during construction in staged installments, and 40% spread over 2 years after the Q1 2028 handover. This means the buyer can move into the fully furnished, rooftop-pool villa in Q1 2028 while still owing 40% of the price — enabling the property to generate rental income of approximately AED 686,000/year (7% yield on AED 9,800,000) that directly offsets the post-handover installments. For an investor, this creates a self-liquidating structure: the property pays for itself through rental income during the 2-year post-handover period. This payment plan is an exceptional structural advantage rarely available on large-format villa assets in MBR City. On assignment: DLD 4% (~AED 392,000 on AED 9,800,000) + trustee fee (~AED 4,200) + buyer agency ~2% (~AED 196,000) = approximately AED 10,392,200 all-in at assignment (before remaining construction installments).

Why This Ketura Reserve Distress Deal is Exceptional

• 28.3% below OP — AED 3,860,000 saving: One of the largest absolute distress discounts in AED terms on any villa-type asset in MBR City. The seller’s -20% headline is a conservative understatement — the actual discount on the original purchase price is 28.3% (AED 3,860,000), and versus total entry (OP+DLD) it is approximately 31% (AED 4,406,400)
• AED 2,178/sqft — extraordinary for MBR City villa type: Comparable 4-bedroom villas and villa-type townhouses in MBR City transact at AED 3,000–5,000/sqft. An entry at AED 2,178/sqft on a Charles Wu-designed, fully furnished, rooftop-pool villa in District 7 represents a genuine below-market entry into the luxury villa segment
• Private rooftop pool — a genuinely rare feature: In Dubai’s villa-type townhouse market, a private outdoor rooftop pool per unit at a total price of AED 9.8M is extremely rare — this specification is typically found only in detached villas at AED 15M+. The rooftop pool creates a lifestyle and rental premium that directly supports above-market yield
• Fully furnished — zero additional fit-out cost: The unit is delivered fully furnished with Dyson, Quooker, and Miele appliances in a premium cream-champagne-bronze palette. The buyer saves AED 500,000–1,000,000+ in furniture and appliance costs that would otherwise be required to match this specification level
• 2-year post-handover on 40% — self-liquidating structure: The 40% post-handover balance deferred over 2 years allows the property to generate rental income during the period the buyer is still paying. At 7% yield on AED 9,800,000, annual rental income is ~AED 686,000 — directly offsetting the post-handover installments
• Two kitchens — unique in the townhouse market: The functional kitchen + entertainment kitchen combination is unique in the Dubai townhouse segment and reflects Ketura Reserve’s commitment to hosting culture as a design principle. The entertainment kitchen is a dedicated social space — a material premium for high-net-worth residents who host frequently
• Charles Wu architecture — certified design pedigree: Architect Charles Wu’s involvement provides a certified international design pedigree that is verifiable and materially supports above-average resale premiums versus generic developer townhouses
• The Park — 28,000 sqm with hundreds of olive trees: The park-view orientation faces one of Dubai’s largest single-community green spaces — 28,000 sq m of curated landscape with olive trees at its centre. A park view of this scale in MBR City is permanently non-duplicatable from competing developments
• ~7% gross rental yield: At AED 9,800,000 and a documented 7% yield for Ketura Reserve townhouses, annual rental income of approximately AED 686,000 makes this one of the highest-yielding luxury villa-type investments per AED of entry in MBR City
• Golden Visa eligible: At AED 9,800,000 — well above the AED 2M threshold — the buyer qualifies for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa
