Developed by Meydan Group, District One is part of Mohammed Bin Rashid (MBR) City, a multi-phase group of communities. District One is a gated community comprising over a thousand acres of landscaped greenery, set around a Crystal Lagoon and is an “innovative megapolis inspired by visionary leadership”.

Amenities

 

We’ve mentioned the Crystal Lagoon a lot already and it really is the “shimmering heart” of District One. Bordered by white sand, it brings the beachfront right to your door with great views guaranteed from every property in the community. It’s not just for admiring though - you can swim in it, or use it for kayaking, paddleboarding or aqua aerobics. If water isn’t your thing, take advantage of the 8.4km cycle & jogging track or one of the fitness centres. For little ones, there are multiple shaded play areas where children can climb, play and learn to their heart's content. There are also various family-friendly community spaces to enjoy including a Community Centre with supermarket plus leisure and retail.

Connectivity

 

Not only is District One surrounded by iconic landmarks, it is also bordered by four arterial roads for easy connections across the city. Al Khail Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, Al-Ain Road and Emirates Road are all right on the doorstep, with quick connections to Sheikh Zayed Road as well. The community is not on a metro or bus line however, so if you live here a car is key. The nearest metro station is in Business Bay and the nearest Bus station is the Al Quoz intersection. This does mean that parking is plentiful within District One.

District One is undeniably an excellent choice for any family seeking a discreet, luxurious and forward-thinking residential community to make their home in. Close to the bustling Business and Financial districts of Dubai, it retains a quiet sense of calm where you can relax and enjoy your leisure time.
