About Centurion Residences
Centurion Residences is a residential complex of two six-storey buildings in Dubai Investments Park 2 (DIP2), developed by Royal Centurion Real Estate Development. Construction began in December 2014 and the project was completed and handed over in July 2017.
The development comprises 214 apartments in total: 45 one-bedroom units, 157 two-bedroom units and 10 three-bedroom units, designed with Mediterranean-inspired architecture across landscaped grounds. Some listing portals label the sub-community “Dubai Investment Park First” rather than “DIP2” and one associates a marketing relationship with Karma Developers, but developer, unit count and unit mix are consistent across every source checked, so this is one project, not two.
Two-bedroom units have covered areas of roughly 1,226 to 1,642 sq ft, some with a private garden or maid’s room; one-bedroom units run approximately 830 to 969 sq ft.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Centurion Residences sits off Al Yalayis Street in Dubai Investments Park 2, close to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). From here it is roughly a 10-minute drive to Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), around 15 minutes to Expo City Dubai and Ibn Battuta Mall, about 24 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport via Expo Road (E77), 20 to 25 minutes to Dubai Marina and 35 to 40 minutes to Downtown Dubai.

Unit Types
Centurion Residences offers three unit types across its 214 apartments: 45 one-bedroom units (roughly 830 to 969 sq ft), 157 two-bedroom units (roughly 1,226 to 1,642 sq ft, some with a private garden, two balconies or a maid’s room), and 10 three-bedroom units. Two-bedroom apartments are the dominant unit type in the building by a wide margin.
Amenities
Residents have access to a landscaped courtyard with a swimming pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, sauna and steam rooms, and a dedicated children’s play area. The building also provides 24-hour security, covered parking, high-speed elevators and a staffed lobby.
Transportation & Access
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) runs close to Dubai Investments Park 2, giving residents direct road access to Jebel Ali, Dubai Marina and the wider Dubai road network. Dubai Investments Park 2’s own Metro station is roughly a 15-minute drive from the building; there is no Metro station within walking distance, so a car (own or taxi/ride-hail) is the practical way to get around from Centurion Residences.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Structurally, an apartment in Centurion Residences can be used as a short-term rental. It is a standard freehold residential building with no hotel-brand short-term-letting restriction of the kind that applies to Vida-branded buildings; a Dubai holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) is required, alongside a no-objection certificate from the building’s management or owners’ association.
Royale Stays does not currently manage any properties in Dubai Investments Park, so there is no Centurion-Residences-specific earnings figure to quote here. What the company can point to honestly is its existing Dubai villa-management track record in Mag City, MBR City, which shows what professional management can achieve on comparable Dubai stock, all handled from a management fee starting from 15%.
Anyone weighing up the numbers on a specific unit can start with Royale Stays’ own Dubai Property ROI Calculator, and read more on the permit process via the Dubai holiday home permit guide. Owners considering professional management can submit their property for a free consultation.
