About Madison Residences
Madison Residences is a low-rise freehold apartment complex in Majan, Wadi Al Safa 3, Dubailand, Dubai, developed by DAMAC Properties through its subsidiary Damac Development. Construction began in April 2010 and the complex was completed by September 2013. The complex comprises two individual buildings, Madison Astor and Madison Columbus, offering studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.
The architecture takes its cue from early 20th-century Manhattan apartment buildings, with earthy-toned facades, expansive windows and a ground-floor retail podium. Madison Astor and Madison Columbus are each reported at five storeys by the buildings' own dedicated records, though a separate source describes the two buildings as having three and four floors instead; this page uses the five-storey figure, with the discrepancy flagged here for transparency since it is a supporting detail rather than a core fact.
Madison Astor and Madison Columbus are internal building names within the single Madison Residences development, not two separate, independently addressable projects. This guide covers the complex as a whole, the same way Royale Stays covers other twin-building Dubai developments as a single guide.
Madison Residences is open to buyers of all nationalities on a freehold basis, consistent with Majan's status as a freehold master-planned community within Dubailand.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Madison Residences sits in the Wadi Al Safa 3 sub-area of Majan, within Dubailand. Per the complex's own location data, it is roughly 1.4 km from IMG Worlds of Adventure, 3.1 km from Global Village, and about 8 minutes' drive from Cityland Mall.

Landmark distances are sourced from the complex's own propsearch.ae and bayut.com location records and are general area context, not precise measured drive times.

Reported covered areas run from approximately 467 to 626 sq ft for studios, 806 to 1,081 sq ft for one-bedroom units, and 1,226 to 1,307 sq ft for two-bedroom units, with Dubai Land Department-recorded transaction sizes falling within these same ranges.

Transportation & Access
Majan does not currently have its own Dubai Metro station. The nearest option, Dubai Internet City Metro Station, is roughly a 17-minute drive away, and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road is about 5 minutes away by car. By car, Madison Residences is roughly 21 minutes from Dubai Mall, 21 minutes from Palm Jumeirah, 21 minutes from Burj Al Arab, and 25 minutes from The Walk JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 20 minutes' drive, and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is roughly 33 minutes' drive.
Drive-time estimates are sourced from the complex's propsearch.ae and bayut.com location records, which calculate typical-traffic driving routes; treat as general estimates, not live traffic figures.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Any short-term rental of an apartment at Madison Residences would require a DTCM holiday-home permit, the same as anywhere else in Dubai. Majan is not currently among Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so no earnings figures or managed-listing history are implied for this specific building.
Owners of a comparable Dubai freehold apartment elsewhere in Royale Stays' core managed areas can enquire about the company's standard short-term rental management services, which start from a 15% fee and cover furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications and maintenance.
