About Sheffield Classic Apartments
Sheffield Classic Apartments, also listed on some portals simply as Classic Apartments, is a residential apartment building in the Central Business District (CBD) cluster of International City, Dubai. It was developed by Sheffield Holding (also referred to as Sheffield Holdings on some portals). The building offers one- and two-bedroom apartments and has been complete and occupied for well over a decade, with an active resale and rental market across Dubai’s major property portals.
Sheffield Classic Apartments should not be confused with Sheffield Classique, a separate, since-cancelled Sheffield-branded project for which investors received government-facilitated refunds. Sheffield Holding’s other completed Dubai developments include Marina 101 in Dubai Marina, Sheffield Midtown, Sheffield Palm View, Corporate Tower, Cote d’Azur, Diamond Shopping Mall, Marina Suites, Palm Beach Residence, and Supreme Residency 2, each a separate building in a different location.
Identity, location, and developer are each confirmed across four independent sources: propsearch.ae, famproperties.com, squareyards.ae, and aigentsrealty.com. The Sheffield Classique disambiguation is sourced from squareyards.ae's Sheffield Holding portfolio listing and separate reporting on that project's cancellation and investor refunds.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Sheffield Classic Apartments sits within International City’s Central Business District (CBD) cluster, roughly 2 km from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and about 1 km from Ras Al Khor Road. International City is also home to several other Royale Stays Building Guides, including Sannat Residency and Belvedere, covering other residential buildings in the wider community.
Dragon Mart and Aswaaq Mall are both close by for everyday shopping, and residents have relatively easy access to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and Dubai Safari Park. The location is also well connected toward Dubai International Airport.

Unit Types at Sheffield Classic Apartments
Sheffield Classic Apartments offers one- and two-bedroom apartments, with saleable sizes generally ranging from about 950 to 1,400 sq ft. Current individual listings show one-bedroom units in the roughly 977 to 1,050 sq ft range.
The building does not appear to offer studio apartments, unlike several other International City buildings. Prospective buyers or tenants should confirm the exact layout and size of any specific unit directly with a listing agent, since portal-quoted ranges can vary slightly from individual unit measurements.

Amenities at Sheffield Classic Apartments
Sheffield Classic Apartments provides residents with dedicated covered parking, per current unit listings. As an established International City building, it follows the area’s typical functional, budget-tier building standard rather than the resort-style amenity package found in some of Dubai’s newer luxury towers.
Detailed on-site facility information beyond parking, such as a dedicated gym or pool, is not published on the building’s available portal listings, so this guide does not assert specific shared facilities it could not confirm. Residents have access to International City’s wider community amenities nearby, including supermarkets, restaurants, and retail at Dragon Mart.
Parking detail sourced from a current propertyfinder.ae unit listing.
Transportation & Access
By road, Sheffield Classic Apartments is about 2 km from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and roughly 1 km from Ras Al Khor Road, giving residents a fairly direct route toward central Dubai and Dubai International Airport.
The building’s International City CBD location also puts Dragon Mart and Aswaaq Mall within easy reach for everyday shopping, along with the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and Dubai Safari Park for green space and outdoor time.

Price Guide: Sheffield Classic Apartments
Recent listings put a one-bedroom apartment at Sheffield Classic Apartments at roughly AED 600,000 for about 1,050 sq ft, and around AED 668,000 for about 977 sq ft on a separate portal. That second portal’s own building-level data puts the average sale price at Sheffield Classic Apartments at around AED 690,000, at an average of roughly AED 843 per sq ft.
These figures reflect current asking prices and portal-reported averages rather than one single fixed price, and actual sale prices vary by floor, view, and condition. Anyone interested in a unit here should check live listings on Bayut, Property Finder, or Dubizzle for current asking prices, since figures move over time.

Long-Term Rental Income Potential
Sheffield Classic Apartments’ location in International City’s CBD, together with its one- and two-bedroom unit mix, points to a long-term rental proposition rather than a short-term or Airbnb-style one. International City’s tenant base is built around long-term residents and value-focused renters, not the international short-stay visitor 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, and Sheffield Classic Apartments within it, sit outside that current coverage, so this guide does not present the building as a short-term-rental opportunity.
Owners considering short-term or Airbnb-style letting at Sheffield Classic Apartments would still need to confirm eligibility directly: any Dubai holiday-home permit 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.
