Mercedes-Benz Places – Binghatti City Launches in Dubai With Entry Prices From AED 1.6 Million
Dubai’s branded residential segment entered a new phase in early 2026 with the official launch of Mercedes-Benz Places – Binghatti City, a large-scale master-planned development introduced by Binghatti Developers. Units within the project are priced from AED 1.6 million, positioning the scheme as one of the most expansive branded residential launches ever announced in the emirate. The project is located in the Meydan area of Nad Al Sheba, offering proximity to established commercial and lifestyle districts while remaining distinct from earlier branded developments in Downtown Dubai.
The development spans approximately 10 million square feet and carries an estimated gross development value of AED 30 billion. Planned as a city-within-a-city, the project will deliver more than 13,000 residential units distributed across 12 towers. The scale places it among the largest integrated residential communities currently under construction in Dubai, comparable in ambition to master-planned zones near Business Bay and Dubai Marina, though with a stronger emphasis on branded lifestyle positioning.
Pricing varies by unit configuration and reflects both brand association and development scale. Studio apartments are priced from AED 1.6 million, one-bedroom units from approximately AED 2.5 million to AED 2.6 million, two-bedroom residences from AED 3 million, and three-bedroom homes from roughly AED 4.95 million to AED 5 million. Early-access inventory reportedly transacted at lower entry points, with select studios offered from AED 1.3 million and one-bedroom units from AED 2.25 million during the initial release phase.
Payment structures follow market norms for large off-plan developments. Buyers are offered a 70/30 payment plan, typically structured with a 20% down payment, 50% staged across the construction period, and the remaining 30% payable on handover. Project completion is currently forecast for mid-2029, aligning with delivery timelines seen across comparable off-plan launches by developers such as Emaar, DAMAC, and Sobha Realty.
From a design perspective, the project is guided by Mercedes-Benz’s “Sensual Purity” design philosophy, integrating high-technology systems with minimalistic architectural language. Community planning emphasizes walkability and internal self-sufficiency, targeting a 15-minute city concept where residential, retail, leisure, and wellness functions are accessible within short distances. This approach mirrors evolving residential demand patterns seen in family-oriented communities such as Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai Hills Estate.
Planned amenities include landscaped parks, interconnected green corridors, retail boulevards, wellness facilities, fitness centers, swimming pools, and cultural spaces. Dedicated mobility hubs are also part of the master plan, reflecting the automotive brand’s influence on infrastructure and transport integration. Such features align with broader market trends where lifestyle-driven developments by groups like Nakheel, Meraas, and Select Group continue to attract long-term end users and international investors.
The launch arrives amid sustained momentum in Dubai’s residential market, particularly within the branded and premium segments. Investor appetite remains supported by population growth, economic diversification, and stable financing conditions. Branded residences have increasingly been viewed as a differentiated asset class, offering perceived design consistency, international recognition, and potential resilience during market cycles. The scale of Mercedes-Benz Places – Binghatti City positions it as a benchmark for future branded community developments rather than a single-tower luxury concept.
Connectivity further enhances the project’s investment profile. The Meydan location places residents within approximately 10 to 12 minutes of key commercial zones and 15 minutes of Dubai International Airport. This accessibility strengthens appeal for both owner-occupiers and investors seeking rental demand from professionals working across central Dubai districts and emerging business corridors.
Within the broader off-plan landscape, branded developments now sit alongside a diverse pipeline of residential launches including Iconic Tower, Rove Home Marasi Drive, Marina Cove, Peace Lagoons, and Sobha Elwood. These projects collectively illustrate the breadth of investment options available across varying price points, locations, and development concepts.
From an outlook perspective, Mercedes-Benz Places – Binghatti City reflects the ongoing evolution of Dubai’s real estate market toward integrated, brand-led communities supported by infrastructure, financing flexibility, and long-term urban planning. Pricing levels, payment structures, and delivery timelines indicate a strategy aimed at both regional investors and international buyers seeking exposure to Dubai’s expanding residential sector.
