About Karma Residence
Karma Residence, marketed by its developer as "Karma by Vision," is an 11-storey residential building in Liwan, Wadi Al Safa 2, part of the wider DubaiLand master development. It was developed by Vision Developments through its subsidiary Clear Vision Real Estate Development. Construction began in September 2023 and the building was handed over complete by Q1 2025. It holds 99 units in a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Note for anyone researching "Karma" online: the name is shared by more than one unrelated Dubai real estate business. This guide covers Karma Residence, the Vision Developments building in Liwan. It is a separate company from Karma Developers, a marketing and brokerage site associated with other, unrelated Dubai projects, and from Karma Realty, a separate development company tracked independently on Dubai transaction platforms. Neither is connected to Vision Developments or to this building.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Karma Residence sits in Liwan, Wadi Al Safa 2, part of a freehold township spanning around 100 residential complexes, six landmark towers and four hotels within the wider DubaiLand development. Liwan Active Park is roughly 0.4 km away, and Amaya Mall, the nearest day-to-day shopping and dining hub, is roughly 0.2 km away.
IMG Worlds of Adventure is around 5.7 km away and Global Village around 7.6 km away, giving residents easy reach of two of Dubai’s larger entertainment venues without leaving the DubaiLand area.

Unit Types
Karma Residence offers a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments across its 99 units. Apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows with roughly 180-degree open views and ceiling heights of about 3.3 metres, which the developer describes as around 20% higher than the area average. Recently recorded Dubai Land Department transactions put one-bedroom units at around 887 sq ft, and two-bedroom units between 1,161 and 1,305 sq ft.
Amenities
Residents have access to an infinity pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, a cinema, a dedicated kids' play area, a party hall, a games room, an outdoor shower and a rooftop barbecue area. Apartments themselves include floor-to-ceiling windows and higher-than-average ceiling heights as standard.
Transportation & Access
Karma Residence does not sit within walking distance of a Dubai Metro station, the common pattern across DubaiLand’s low and mid-rise communities, so residents and guests typically rely on a car or ride-hailing. From the building it is roughly a 19-minute drive to Dubai Mall, 19 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB), 29 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 29 minutes to Burj Al Arab, 34 minutes to The Walk JBR and 34 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, based on typical-traffic drive-time estimates.
Rental & Price Trends
Vision Developments listed Karma Residence apartments starting from AED 700,000 at launch. Recent Dubai Land Department-derived transaction records, drawn from a 50-record sale history for the building, show one-bedroom units (887 sq ft) trading between roughly AED 511,500 and AED 930,000, and two-bedroom units (1,161 to 1,305 sq ft) trading between roughly AED 1.07 million and AED 1.48 million, across transactions recorded from April through August 2026. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Liwan is outside Royale Stays' core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so no verified area-level short-term rental earnings benchmark is available for Karma Residence specifically. The building is a standard freehold residential development with no hotel or serviced-apartment component and no Vida branding, which is the only confirmed prohibition under Royale Stays' permit policy, so there is no confirmed prohibition on holiday-home letting here.
Royale Stays' Airbnb management services cover furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, all handled from a management fee starting at 15%. Holiday-home permitting follows the normal Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism route: see Royale Stays' holiday home permit guide for the full process. Owners considering a Karma Residence apartment for short-term letting can get a free property assessment by submitting their property directly.
