Dubailand apartments: types, sizes and private-pool homes

Most buyers start with the layout, so here are the published floor-plan ranges:

• Studios without a pool: about 428 to 454 sq ft
• Studios with a private pool: about 470 to 479 sq ft, plus one layout of about 558 sq ft
• One-bedroom with a private pool: about 745 to 911 sq ft

Half of the studios, 50 of 101, come with their own pool, and the other 51 are plain studios for a lower entry. Every one-bedroom home has a pool, and 37 of them add a maid's room. The floor-plan pack does not cover every one-bedroom layout, so ask us for the exact plan of the unit you like.

The payment plan is set per release – ask us for the schedule that applies to the unit you choose. Terms can change from one release to the next.

The expected handover is Q4 2028. Off-plan buyers pay in stages while the building goes up, so the full amount is not due on day one.

Podium and rooftop amenities, lifts and parking

Facilities are split between two levels. The podium has an adult pool, a children's pool, a splash pad, water beds and separate gyms for men and women. Up on the roof you get a padel court, a jogging track, an open-air gym, cabanas, a dining area and a children's play area.

Four high-speed lifts serve the floors. Parking runs across two basements with 84 spaces each and the ground level with 62, for 230 spaces in total.

Empire Developments is part of Ghani Holdings. Its Dubai portfolio also includes Empire Livings in Dubai Science Park and Empire Lakeviews in Liwan, so buyers can compare layouts across towers by the same team.

Also in DLRC, Rivo by Grovy offers 133 studios and 1 to 4-bedroom apartments with smart-home systems and a rooftop infinity pool.

Why buy at Empire Gardens: for living and for investment

For living, a private pool in a studio or one-bedroom home is rare, and the roof gives residents padel, a running track and space for children without leaving the building. Separate gyms suit families who prefer them, and parking is inside the tower.

For investment, the high share of studios and one-bedroom homes suits the demand for smaller homes in Dubailand, and the area has quick access to Silicon Oasis, Academic City and Global Village. With only six duplexes and two three-bedroom apartments, the large units are scarce. If you are looking at apartments for sale in Dubailand, this is a pool-led option with a staged plan.
