About Prime Residency
Prime Residency is a two-building residential complex, Prime Residency 1 and Prime Residency 2, in Al Warsan First, part of Dubai International City's Spain Cluster. Both buildings were developed by Prescott Real Estate Development and completed in 2010. This guide covers Prime Residency's unit types, amenities, location, and sale-price picture for anyone researching or renting in this part of International City.
Prime Residency 1 began construction in September 2008 and was completed in December 2010; Prime Residency 2 began construction in March 2009 and was also completed the same month. Together, the two buildings span four residential floors with about 41 apartments per floor and a combined built-up area of around 251,000 sq ft, per Prescott's own project page. Each building is listed elsewhere as holding 174 apartments, for 348 units across the complex; at least one listing portal also markets Prime Residency 2 under a secondary "Golden Bridge" label tied to the same Prescott development.
Prescott Real Estate Development also builds several other similarly named "Prime"-branded projects across Dubai, including Prime Gardens in Arjan, Prime Business Centre in JVC, Prime Townhouses, and Prime Views. These are all separate, unrelated developments in different parts of the city. This guide covers only the International City complex in Al Warsan First.
Developer attribution is confirmed across three independent sources: propsearch.ae, chainexrealestate.com, and Prescott's own official project page, all naming Prescott Real Estate Development. A search of results for this building's name returned only real-estate listings and the developer's own site, with no unrelated business or landmark sharing the name. Prescott also develops other similarly "Prime"-branded projects elsewhere in Dubai, including Prime Gardens in Arjan and Prime Business Centre in JVC, both separate developments. The combined built-up area and floor count come from Prescott's own project page; a separate portal describes near-identical figures for one building alone, likely the same underlying numbers described two different ways. Total unit count (174 per building, 348 combined) is sourced to a single portal (chainexrealestate.com) and was not independently corroborated by a second source; the studio option is confirmed only for Prime Residency 2. Unit mix, amenities, and pricing are each independently confirmed across two or more sources.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Prime Residency sits in Al Warsan First, within International City Phase 1's Spain Cluster, beside Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. International City is also home to Sannat Residency, Belvedere, and CBD 2 Building, other Royale Stays Building Guides covering residential buildings in the same wider community.
Dragon Mart's own Novo Cinema is about 1.8 km from Prime Residency, and Warsan Residential Park is just 0.4 km away. Dubai Safari Park is roughly 5.6 km away and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary about 7.7 km. The nearest hotel is Ibis Styles Dragon Mart Dubai, roughly 2.4 km away, and nearby schools include Kings' School Nad Al Sheba (2.2 km) and the British International School of Arts and Sciences (2.3 km).
Nearby-landmark distances are sourced from propsearch.ae's building guide, which lists Dragon Mart, Warsan Residential Park, Dubai Safari Park, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, and nearby schools with their own distance figures.
Unit Types at Prime Residency
Prime Residency 1 offers one- and two-bedroom apartments, while Prime Residency 2 adds studios alongside its one- and two-bedroom units. Dubai Land Department transaction records for the complex show one-bedroom units sized around 647 to 649 sq ft and two-bedroom units sized around 996 sq ft, consistent across both buildings.
Each building is listed as holding 174 apartments, 348 combined across the complex. Prospective tenants or buyers should confirm the exact layout and size of any specific unit directly with a listing agent, since sizes vary within each bedroom category and the studio option is only confirmed for Prime Residency 2.
Unit-size figures are drawn from Dubai Land Department transaction records reproduced by propsearch.ae. Unit-mix detail, including the studio option at Prime Residency 2, is sourced from chainexrealestate.com's building-specific pages; the total unit count (174 per building) comes from the same portal and was not independently corroborated by a second source.
Amenities at Prime Residency
Prime Residency's shared amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness center, secured or covered parking, and 24/7 security, with lobby access and a small selection of community retail outlets at ground level.
This is a fairly standard amenity mix for International City's Spain Cluster stock, prioritizing everyday convenience over the resort-style amenity decks found in newer freehold towers elsewhere in Dubai.
Transportation & Access
By car, Prime Residency is roughly 21 minutes from Dubai Mall, about 31 minutes from Palm Jumeirah, around 30 minutes from Burj Al Arab, and about 34 minutes from The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 15 minutes away, while Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is roughly 42 minutes away.
The complex sits beside Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, one of Dubai's major arterial routes, giving straightforward access to the wider city beyond International City itself, along with bus and metro options via International City.

Sale Prices at Prime Residency
Dubai Land Department records show 50 sale transactions for Prime Residency. Developer-listed starting prices were AED 435,000 for Prime Residency 1 and AED 368,000 for Prime Residency 2. Recorded resale transactions reviewed for this guide run roughly from AED 500,000 to AED 725,000 for one- and two-bedroom units, working out to about AED 462 to AED 873 per sq ft in the sample reviewed.
These figures describe recorded transactions specifically at Prime Residency, not an area-wide average. Anyone interested in a unit here should check current live listings on Bayut, Property Finder, or Dubizzle for up-to-date asking prices, since resale prices can move between the DLD's last recorded transaction and today.

Resale transaction figures are Dubai Land Department Open Data records reproduced by propsearch.ae, reviewed individually for this guide; the portal records 50 total sale transactions for Prime Residency, of which this guide reviewed a representative sample.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
International City is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, and Business Bay), so this guide states that honestly rather than implying an existing managed listing at Prime Residency. Prescott Real Estate Development is a private residential developer, not a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home here, subject to the standard Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM) permit process.
Prime Residency's own tenant base and unit mix lean toward long-term residents and value-focused renters, more typical of International City generally than of Dubai's short-term-rental hotspots. That does not rule out Airbnb-style letting for an individual owner, it simply means it is a less-tested proposition here than in Royale Stays' core areas.
Royale Stays can arrange the holiday home permit and manage day-to-day operations for owners at Prime Residency for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications, and maintenance, plus villa management in Mag City and DAMAC Hills/DAMAC Hills 2 for owners in those separate communities.
