About MBR City
Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City) is a roughly 47 to 110 million square foot masterplan district announced in 2012 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, projected to eventually house around 286,000 residents across sub-communities including District One, Meydan Horizon, District 11 and District 7. Meydan Group, the government-linked master developer, is anchored around Meydan Racecourse, home of the Dubai World Cup and reportedly the world's largest column-free grandstand, seating roughly 60,000.
The district also contains the Crystal Lagoon at District One, reportedly the world's longest man-made lagoon at roughly 7 kilometres. Azizi Riviera, where Royale Stays currently covers nine towers, is one specific pocket of this broader masterplan: a roughly 75-building, 16,000-residence canal and boulevard-themed community in a European-styled architecture, distinct from District One's villa-led character.
Location & Connectivity
MBR City has no direct Metro station of its own. The nearest access is Business Bay Metro Station, roughly 3.5 kilometres or a 15-minute drive from Al Meydan Road, from where it is one Red Line stop, about 5 minutes, to Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa station. A planned Metro expansion targeted for completion by 2030 is reported to eventually route through MBR City, but this is a future infrastructure plan, not a current amenity. Road access runs via Al Khail Road, which the district sits directly along.
Rental Market and Short-Term Rental Context
Royale Stays has not found an area-specific STR occupancy, ADR or DTCM permit-volume figure independently confirmed for MBR City, so that gap is stated here rather than filled with an invented number. City-wide Dubai STR occupancy benchmarks vary widely by source, which itself signals these aggregates should not be treated as precise, and none isolate MBR City specifically. Major Dubai events, including the Dubai World Cup and Racing Carnival at Meydan Racecourse, are a recognised driver of short-stay demand citywide, and this district hosts one of the highest-profile examples of that calendar.
Buildings in MBR City
Royale Stays currently covers forty-nine buildings across MBR City in detail, including Azizi Riviera towers, MAG City and other developments. Each guide below sets out that building’s own unit mix, amenities and short-term rental outlook.
Why Manage Here
Meydan Racecourse's Dubai World Cup and Racing Carnival are a recurring high-profile event driver in the same category that lifts nightly rates for well-located Dubai listings during major events. The district's one-stop Metro connection to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall via Business Bay gives it a genuine access advantage despite lacking its own station.
The sheer scale of new supply, Azizi Riviera alone plans roughly 16,000 residences with only a fraction delivered so far, signals sustained investor and rental-market interest in the area independent of any single company's activity. Royale Stays does not yet have its own managed-portfolio performance figure for MBR City, so no occupancy or income claim is made here on the company's behalf.
Getting Started
Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for MBR City owners who prefer not to handle it directly, from a fee starting at 15% of gross booking revenue. Owners still need a DTCM holiday home permit, and Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what that process and fees generally involve.
Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review.
