About Solitaire Cascades
Solitaire Cascades is an eight-storey residential building in DubaiLand Residence Complex, Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubailand, Dubai. It was developed by Universal Developers. Dubai Land Department milestone data states construction began in July 2009 (with an initial project trace dating to January 2008) and was completed by February 2011.
The building holds 64 residential units in 1, 2 and 3-bedroom configurations. Dubai Land Department transaction records show an active resale market, with 50 recorded sale-related transactions on file. According to the Dubai Land Department, the project’s pre-construction value was estimated at AED 38,875,000 (about USD 10.6m).
A few figures vary by source. Bayut.com and Chainex Real Estate both independently state 9 storeys and a 2014 completion date, versus propsearch.ae's Dubai Land Department-derived figures of 8 storeys and a February 2011 completion. This page uses propsearch's DLD-grounded structured building data as primary, since it is drawn from a specific government milestone table rather than editorial description, and notes the alternate figures. Chainex also states a total of 70 apartments and shops combined (versus Bayut's and Square Yards' matching count of 64 residential units), which likely includes ground-floor retail units alongside the 64 apartments.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Solitaire Cascades sits in DubaiLand Residence Complex, Wadi Al Safa 5, close to Dubai-Al Ain Road and Emirates Road (E611). For a wider view of how Airbnb management works across Dubai’s different neighbourhoods, see Royale Stays’ full guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai.
Nearby attractions include IMG Worlds of Adventure (about 6.3 km) and Global Village (about 7.9 km), with the DRC’s own community hubs (parks and green spaces) within a few hundred metres. The nearest hotels sit around 3.4 km away in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Local schools include The Aquila School (0.2 km, British/IB curriculum) and GEMS FirstPoint School (0.5 km, British curriculum), both rated ‘Very Good’ by government inspection, alongside Lycee Francais International Georges Pompidou (1.0 km, French curriculum). The ground floor of the building itself holds four small outlets: a men’s salon, a ladies’ salon, a minimart and a laundrette.
Solitaire Cascades shares its DubaiLand Residence Complex, Wadi Al Safa 5 sub-community with several other apartment buildings Royale Stays has covered separately, including Skycourts Towers, 4 Direction Building, Desert Sun Tower and Edison House, each developed by a different company and covered on their own dedicated pages. Royale Stays also covers Sondos Rosa, another building in the same community.
Unit Types at Solitaire Cascades
Solitaire Cascades offers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. One-bedroom apartments average around 870 sq ft and typically include an ensuite bedroom, an open kitchen, a living and dining area, an extra bathroom and a balcony with community views. Two-bedroom apartments range from about 1,360 to 1,448 sq ft and typically include three bathrooms, an open-style kitchen and a balcony. Three-bedroom apartments average around 2,287 sq ft and typically include four bathrooms, a laundry room and a large balcony.
Unit sizes are per Bayut.com's building guide. Dubai Land Department transaction records confirm the same general sizes for individual sales (for example, recorded one-bedroom sales at 818 and 874 sq ft, and a three-bedroom-sized unit of 2,287 sq ft). Square Yards' own listing separately labels the 2,287 sq ft unit type as '2 Beds' rather than 3-bed, which conflicts with both Bayut's classification and the Dubai Land Department's own 'Room Type: 3-bed' field for a 2,287 sq ft unit; this page treats that as a Square Yards labelling inconsistency and uses the DLD-corroborated 3-bed classification. Chainex Real Estate separately mentions studio apartments as part of the mix, a unit type not corroborated by Bayut, Square Yards or any Dubai Land Department transaction record reviewed for this page.
Amenities at Solitaire Cascades
Solitaire Cascades’ shared amenities include a fully equipped gym, a swimming pool, a sauna and a jacuzzi. The building has multiple high-speed elevators, 24-hour security and maintenance services with regular waste disposal, and a 24-hour front desk for guest and resident enquiries. Parking is available on the ground floor, with additional street parking for residents and guests.
The ground floor also holds four small retail outlets for everyday errands: a men’s salon, a ladies’ salon, a minimart and a laundrette. Owners should budget for yearly district-cooling and chiller charges, which are billed separately to residents, as is standard across Dubai apartment buildings.
Transportation & Access
Solitaire Cascades has no metro station of its own, so a car is effectively essential for residents, as is typical across Dubailand. Road access runs via Dubai-Al Ain Road and Emirates Road (E611). From the building it takes roughly 22 minutes to drive to Dubai Mall, 32 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 32 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 36 minutes to The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is around 23 minutes away by car, and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is roughly 33 minutes away.

Solitaire Cascades Price Trends
Dubai Land Department sale transactions from 2023 through May 2026 show one-bedroom apartments (818-874 sq ft) selling for roughly AED 499,000 to AED 810,000, about AED 610-927 per sq ft, with the most recent recorded sale (May 2026) at AED 810,000. A two-bedroom apartment (1,449 sq ft) sold for AED 960,000 in March 2025, the most recent genuine sale of that size on record. No confirmed genuine sale price was found for a three-bedroom unit within the transaction records reviewed; a separately recorded Lease Finance Registration of AED 900,000 for a 2,287 sq ft unit was excluded, since it records a financing amount rather than an open-market sale. Owners weighing a purchase here can model likely returns with Royale Stays’ Dubai property ROI calculator.
Separately recorded Mortgage Registration transactions at this building (for example, AED 805,600 and AED 414,375 against 2-bed and 1-bed units respectively) were also excluded from these figures, since they record loan amounts rather than sale prices. Chainex Real Estate lists a general starting price of AED 465,000 for units at this building; this figure is not tied to a specific recorded sale and is included here only as a general market-entry reference.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Solitaire Cascades is a completed, standard freehold residential building. Dubai Land Department records classify units here as Residential, Flat, not a hotel-branded or serviced-apartment property, so the usual owner-direct DTCM holiday home permit route applies to any unit here. Universal Developers is not a restricted hotel brand, so Royale Stays has no confirmed prohibition or restriction on short-term letting at this building.
Solitaire Cascades sits outside Royale Stays’ current core management areas of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay, so no property-specific earnings figure is quoted here. The building’s mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, along with its pool, gym and 24-hour security, are the kind of practical amenities that can appeal to short-stay guests looking for value outside the city centre. Royale Stays’ Airbnb management services, furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, are available from a management fee starting at 15%. Owners can submit their property for a free assessment.
Royale Stays has no current partnership, affiliation, or commercial relationship with Universal Developers. This page is an independent building guide for owners and investors researching the project.
