Opal Gardens District 11 is a gated villa community within MBR City one of Dubai’s largest mixed-use freehold developments, valued at AED 30 billion and announced by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The project sits in District 11 of the Meydan master plan, adjacent to the established District One community one of Dubai’s most sought-after villa addresses. Developed by Nakheel in partnership with Meydan Group, with LACASA Architects as design consultant and Parkway International Contracting as builder, Opal Gardens comprises 435 villas and townhouses arranged around a central crystal lagoon. Nakheel, founded in 2000, is the developer behind Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Islands, and Dragon Mart a track record that defines Dubai’s geography as much as its real estate market.
Opal Gardens offers three home types: townhouses, semi-detached villas, and standalone villas in 4, 5, and 6-bedroom configurations. Townhouses range from 3,507 to 4,850 sq. ft. across two storeys. Semi-detached villas span 3,782 to 3,872 sq.ft. Standalone villas reach up to 8,453 sq. ft. with private swimming pools, landscaped gardens, and terraces facing the lagoon or skyline. Every home includes a built-in lift a practical addition for multi-generational families. High ceilings, large windows, and open-plan living areas define the layouts. Kitchens are branded and fully fitted. Exterior finishes use contemporary metropolitan design language with natural stone accents.
District 11 sits within the broader MBR City master plan, a 40 million square foot development that includes District One, Meydan Racecourse, the future Meydan One Mall, and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City District. The crystal lagoon at the heart of Opal Gardens is large enough for kayaking, canoeing, and swimming, surrounded by sandy beaches and shaded seating. A 5-kilometre cycling and pedestrian track loops the entire community, connecting homes to parks, a sports court, an outdoor fitness centre, a yoga platform, children’s play areas, and picnic zones. Schools, retail, a mosque, and a supermarket are planned within the district boundary. The master plan also includes commercial facilities for residents who work from home or run local businesses.
Opal Gardens District 11 offers 4-bedroom townhouses (3,507–4,850 sq.ft), 4-bedroom semi-detached villas (3,782–3,872 sq.ft), and 4, 5, and 6-bedroom standalone villas (up to 8,453 sq.ft), all with built-in lifts, open-plan layouts, private gardens, and optional swimming pools.



Opal Gardens is designed around a central crystal lagoon large enough for kayaking, canoeing, and swimming, an amenity that functions as the community’s anchor rather than a decorative feature. Sandy beaches line the lagoon edge, flanked by shaded seating and picnic areas. A 5-kilometre cycling and pedestrian loop connects every cluster of homes to the sports court, outdoor fitness centre, yoga platform, and children’s play zones. Schools, a mosque, a supermarket, and retail outlets sit within the district boundary, removing the need for daily trips outside the gate. The philosophy is suburban scale with urban convenience families can walk, cycle, or swim without leaving the community.
District 11 sits within MBR City at the intersection of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66), two of Dubai’s primary arterial corridors. The Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan identifies MBR City as a major urban growth hub, with Meydan Racecourse, the future Meydan One Mall, and a planned tram network expected to add major infrastructure over the next decade. Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa are just 15–20 minutes away, while Dubai Design District is around 15 minutes and Dubai International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away. The established District One community, home to some of Dubai’s highest-value villas, sits immediately adjacent and helps anchor property values across the wider Meydan corridor.
