Glorious Central Residences at International City Phase 3 — Premium Modern Living in Dubai's Most Accessible Community

Glorious Central Residences is a considered, well-executed boutique residential development by Glorious Future Real Estate Development — an AED 70 million project that delivers a premium specification product at International City Phase 3's most accessible price points. In a community historically associated with budget-focused investor product, Glorious Central Residences represents a deliberate step up the quality ladder: smart key access, fully fitted kitchens, temperature-controlled rooftop pools, yoga studio, and co-working space are specifications that substantially outperform the typical International City offering and establish this building as a clear outlier in terms of quality-to-price ratio.

International City Phase 3 (Al Warsan 4) is one of Dubai's most recognisable and established affordable residential communities — a district of low-rise and mid-rise apartment clusters that have served Dubai's large affordable rental market since the early 2000s. The area has undergone significant quality improvement in recent years, with newer projects like Glorious Central Residences raising specification standards and attracting a more diverse buyer and tenant demographic. Located in Al Warsan, the district is bounded by Emirates Road (E611) to the east and connects northward toward Dubai Creek Harbour and MBR City — a geographical position that gives it better long-term development trajectory than its current pricing reflects.

The developer, Glorious Future Real Estate Development, operates with a focus on value-optimised premium product in Dubai's mid-market communities. The AED 70 million project value, confirmed by Dubai Land Department records, reflects a genuine investment in quality materials, premium amenity infrastructure, and smart home technology that is not typically associated with International City development.

Location & Connectivity: Al Warsan 4 — Dubai's Growing Eastern Corridor

• Emirates Road (E611): One of the primary access routes for International City / Al Warsan — approximately 5–8 minutes by car. E611 connects northward toward Academic City, DSO, and the E311 / E11 network, and toward Sharjah to the north.

• Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary: Approximately 8–10 km — the flamingo sanctuary and nature reserve that forms Dubai's most significant urban wildlife habitat.

Building Architecture & Design

Building Structure: 8 floors — a mid-rise configuration that maintains a manageable community scale while providing sufficient residential unit count to support the building's amenity investment.

Total Units: Studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments across the building's residential floors

Unit Types & Pricing: | Unit Type | Price Range | |---|---| | Studio | From AED 522,000 | | 1 Bedroom | AED 846,000–940,000 | | 2 Bedroom | Around AED 1,400,000 |

Interior Specification — All Units:

• Smart key access system: Keyless, app-controlled entry for all apartments — a meaningful security and convenience upgrade over conventional lock-and-key systems
• Fully fitted kitchens: Integrated appliances, quality cabinetry, and stone-effect countertops — delivering move-in-ready kitchen functionality
• Built-in wardrobes: Maximising bedroom storage efficiency
• Private balconies: All units include private outdoor space
• Clean-line contemporary finishes: Quality porcelain flooring, painted walls, and modern fixtures
• Central air conditioning

Premium Amenity Programme

Temperature-Controlled Rooftop Swimming Pools (Adults & Children): The building's signature amenity — rooftop pools with temperature control, ensuring year-round comfortable swimming regardless of season. The adult pool provides a full-length leisure swimming environment; the dedicated children's pool ensures age-appropriate water safety. The rooftop positioning delivers elevated views across the surrounding community while providing a pleasant open-air environment.

Indoor Gymnasium: A properly equipped fitness centre with cardiovascular machines (treadmills, cycles, ellipticals) and resistance training equipment, including free weights.

Outdoor Gymnasium: An additional outdoor fitness area with exercise stations, enabling fresh-air training in cooler weather (October–April).

Yoga Studio: A dedicated yoga and mindfulness room with appropriate flooring and a serene environment — a meaningful wellness inclusion that reflects the growing health-consciousness of Dubai's residential buyer demographic.

Co-Working Space / Library: A dedicated workspace and reading room — a practical inclusion for the large population of remote workers, freelancers, and students who comprise International City's resident community. The ability to work professionally within the building without commuting to a business centre or cafe is a genuine daily quality-of-life upgrade.

Multi-Purpose Sports Court: An outdoor court suitable for basketball, volleyball, or other court sports — providing active recreational infrastructure within the building's grounds.

Table Tennis: Indoor table tennis facilities for competitive and recreational play.

BBQ Areas: Equipped outdoor barbecue stations for weekend social dining.

Indoor Children's Play Zone: A secured, covered indoor play area with age-appropriate equipment — particularly valuable during Dubai's peak summer months (June–September) when outdoor play is impractical due to heat.

24/7 Security: Professional manned security and CCTV throughout all common areas and entry points.

Covered Parking: Allocated resident parking.

Payment Plan & Investment

Highly Buyer-Friendly Structure:

• 20% During Construction
• 80% On Handover

This 20/80 plan is exceptionally attractive for end-users: buyers pay only 20% of the purchase price during the construction period, retaining the remaining 80% of their capital until the property is physically delivered. For self-financing buyers, this significantly reduces the opportunity cost and holding risk of the off-plan investment.

Title: Freehold — all nationalities.

Investment Case: International City is one of Dubai's highest-yielding residential communities for gross rental returns, driven by its large and consistently in-demand affordable rental market. Studios and 1-bedroom apartments in the district regularly achieve yields of 8%–10% on entry-level pricing. Glorious Central Residences' premium specification — relative to typical International City product — should command rental premiums of 10%–20% above standard community benchmarks.
