Arlington Park is in DLRC
Majid Developments has unveiled a new affordable luxury residential project in Dubai, amid strong investor interest and a fast-growing demand for housing in the Gulf emirate.
Arlington Park, a 140-unit apartment project strategically situated in the Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), expands the footprint of the Dubai-based, family-owned boutique developer, following an earlier project in Jumeirah Garden City.
Arlington Park features studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments in fully and semi-furnished formats. Amenities include a gym, an infinity pool, a sauna, co-working facilities, and a games area. The design, which focuses on compact planning and interiors aimed at urban residents seeking a blend of affordability and access to lifestyle features, is sure to pique the interest of potential buyers.
Construction of Arlington Park began on June 19, 2025, nearly three weeks ahead of the official launch. This early start, a deliberate move by the developer, signals a strong commitment to timely delivery, prioritising execution over pre-sales activity. This approach, uncommon in the Gulf region, contrasts with the typical launch of off-plan sales before site work begins.
Investor interest in Arlington Park is notably high. During the initial Expression of Interest (EOI) phase, Majid Developments reported that the entire project had been effectively committed, with most units taken up before any public sales campaign. Although specific figures are not available, the company stated that the early investor response surpassed expectations, indicating the project’s potential success.
Dubai’s property sector has experienced a period of sustained activity, driven by population growth, economic recovery, and a renewed focus on residency-linked investment programmes. Developers have been responding by expanding offerings across mid- to high-tier segments, with new projects emerging in established and fringe districts.
Speaking about the launch, Mansoor Majid, CEO of Majid Developments, stated that the company’s focus is on creating developments that align with the evolving expectations of residents in Dubai. He pointed to a shift in the market towards projects that offer both liveability and long-term investment potential.
Mustafa Majid, COO of Majid Developments, added that operational planning has been central to the development of Arlington Park, which he described as an example of the firm’s ability to align product design with location and demand dynamics.
DLRC, where Arlington Park is situated, is one of several areas on the outskirts of central Dubai experiencing new construction activity. The district is being promoted as an emerging residential zone with access to major transport routes and proximity to academic and commercial hubs.
Dubai government’s broader urban expansion policies have supported development in such zones, aiming to accommodate projected population growth and encourage inward capital flows.
Analysts say demand for new housing in Dubai remains robust despite global macroeconomic pressures. With a relatively young and transient population, the city continues to see demand for both rental and ownership opportunities, particularly in areas offering value compared to prime zones.
While Arlington Park is a relatively modest development by Dubai standards, its early traction signals continuing investor appetite for smaller, high-yield properties in well-connected locations. For developers, the current market also offers an opportunity to diversify portfolios and focus on delivery rather than scale alone.
As Dubai’s real estate cycle matures, industry observers will be watching closely to see whether smaller, execution-focused players like Majid Developments can sustain momentum and carve out a distinct niche in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
