About URBANA

Stacked Townhouse Design

URBANA is a completed residential development in Madinat Al Mataar, comprising 324 stacked townhouses spread across 46 ground-plus-one clusters. The project was delivered in March 2020 after a construction period that began in 2017, and today stands fully handed over with a 100 percent completion status recorded by Dubai Land Department.

Each building follows a G+1 stacked configuration, a format that allows lower and upper units within the same block to function as independent townhouses rather than conventional apartments. The structure uses a concrete frame with block infill, finished internally and externally to a standard consistent with other family-oriented developments in Dubai South.

Location Within Dubai South

URBANA sits within Madinat Al Mataar, part of the broader Dubai South master development, formerly known as Dubai World Central. This 145-square-kilometre district was planned as a self-contained city built around Al Maktoum International Airport, combining logistics, aviation, exhibition and residential functions in a single masterplan.

The surrounding area was shaped for long-term growth rather than short-term speculation, with Dubai South positioned as a hub for the aviation and logistics sectors as well as residential communities catering to the workforce and families based in the district.

Community Composition

The development is organised into 46 low-rise clusters, a scale that keeps density manageable while still delivering 324 total homes. Building names follow a straightforward block-numbering system, from Block-05 through to Block-43, spread across the community footprint.

This layout suits residents seeking townhouse living with a lower unit count per building compared to high-rise apartment schemes, while remaining part of a larger integrated masterplan rather than a standalone project.

Developer Background

URBANA was developed under Dubai Aviation City Corporation, the entity behind the Dubai South masterplan and its surrounding residential districts. The developer's mandate extends beyond individual buildings to the planning of an entire aviation-anchored city, which shapes the infrastructure, road networks and community facilities found around URBANA today.

As part of a wider urban vision rather than an isolated residential pocket, URBANA benefits from planned schools, retail centres and transport links that were designed concurrently with the surrounding Dubai South district.

Location

Proximity to Al Maktoum Airport

URBANA is located a short drive from Al Maktoum International Airport, placing it within one of Dubai's key growth corridors for aviation, logistics and exhibition-linked employment. The wider Dubai South district was purpose-built around this airport, giving the area a distinct economic identity compared to Dubai's more established residential zones.

The community also sits along the corridor connecting Dubai to Abu Dhabi, giving residents road access toward both emirates without relying solely on central Dubai routes.

Neighbourhood Facilities

Madinat Al Mataar and the greater Dubai South masterplan were designed with community centres, schools and retail facilities distributed across the district to serve residential clusters like URBANA. Mosques and daycare or clinic facilities were also planned throughout the area as part of the same masterplan philosophy.
