About Belvedere
Belvedere, sometimes listed on property portals as Belvedere Residences or Belvedere CBD 27, is an 11-storey residential apartment building in the Central Business District (CBD) of International City, Dubai. It was developed by Lokhandwala Real Estate Development, with construction beginning in February 2015 and finishing in October 2022. This guide covers Belvedere’s unit types, amenities, location, and sale-price picture for anyone researching or renting in International City’s CBD.
Belvedere’s plot has its own small history: Dubai Land Department records show the site was originally earmarked for a different Lokhandwala project, Lokhandwala CBD Residence, which was cancelled before Belvedere itself was built in its place.
Belvedere is a residential apartment building, not to be confused with Belvedere International School, an unrelated private school in Al Ain that shares part of the name. It is also a separate building from The Belvedere in Dubai Marina, a different tower by a different developer (ETA Star).
Developer attribution is sourced from propsearch.ae's building guide, which itself attributes the figure to Dubai Land Department records. A second, fully independent source naming the developer was not found despite checking DataForSEO SERP results, a direct web search, the repo's own DLD open-data extracts, and two other Belvedere-listing portals (neither of which names a developer). Unit mix, amenities, and pricing are each independently confirmed across two or more sources; see this brief's item 3 for the full source-by-source breakdown.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Belvedere sits within International City Phase 1, in the district’s Central Business District (CBD) sub-area, part of the Al Warsan First area of Dubai. International City is also home to Sannat Residency, another Royale Stays Building Guide covering a residential tower in the same wider community.
International City is centred on Dragon Mart, the area’s large retail and dining hub, with Belvedere roughly a five-minute drive from it. The community is built around themed residential precincts alongside its Central Business District commercial cluster.

Unit Types at Belvedere
Belvedere offers 1+Study, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, with unit sizes ranging from roughly 675 to 1,137 sq ft. Dubai Land Department transaction records for the building show one-bedroom units specifically sized between 675 and 1,135 sq ft, closely matching the building’s advertised size range.
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.
Amenities at Belvedere
Belvedere’s building-level amenities include a gym, sauna, swimming pool, a party/function area, a children’s play area, and covered parking. High-speed elevators and a rooftop recreational area round out the building’s shared facilities.
This mix is typical of International City’s CBD stock, where buildings are designed around everyday convenience and shared leisure space rather than the resort-style amenity decks found in newer freehold towers elsewhere in Dubai.
Transportation & Access
By car, Belvedere is roughly 24 minutes from The Dubai Mall, about 35 minutes from Palm Jumeirah, around 34 minutes from Burj Al Arab, and about 39 minutes from The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 19 minutes away, while Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is roughly 41 minutes away.
Dragon Mart, International City’s own retail and dining hub, is only about five minutes from the building, making day-to-day errands straightforward without needing to leave the wider community.

Sale Prices at Belvedere
Dubai Land Department records show 49 sale transactions for Belvedere. Recent recorded sales range roughly from AED 355,000 to AED 1,020,306 for one-bedroom units sized 675 to 1,135 sq ft, working out to roughly AED 520 to AED 940 per sq ft in this sample. One recent example: a 677 sq ft one-bedroom unit sold for AED 636,116 on 10 June 2026.
These figures describe recorded resale transactions specifically at Belvedere, not an area-wide average. Anyone interested in a unit at Belvedere 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.
Long-Term Rental Income Potential
Belvedere’s location in International City’s CBD and its unit mix make it a long-term rental proposition rather than a short-term-rental one. International City’s tenant base is built around long-term residents and value-focused renters rather than the international short-stay traffic that drives Airbnb-style demand in Dubai’s short-term-rental hotspots.
Royale Stays currently manages Airbnb-style short-term rental portfolios in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, and Business Bay, plus villa management in Mag City and DAMAC Hills/DAMAC Hills 2. International City is outside that current coverage, and this guide does not present Belvedere as a short-term-rental opportunity.
Owners who want to explore short-term or Airbnb-style letting at Belvedere should still confirm eligibility directly: any holiday-home permit in Dubai is tied to Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM) requirements and to the specific building or owners’ association rules, not assumed from the unit type or area alone.
