This is a 1-bedroom apartment opportunity in Parkway by Prestige One, located in the up-and-coming Meydan Horizon district. The apartment offers a well-proportioned 725 sq.ft of internal space, positioned on a high floor (15-20) with views over the project’s amenities. The current asking price is AED 1,300,000, which reflects a 9.7% discount to the original reference price of AED 1,439,285 (inclusive of DLD fees). This equates to an attractive AED 1,793 per square foot, notably below recent transaction benchmarks for comparable units in the building. The payment structure is split between AED 623,430 due on transfer and a remaining payment plan of AED 761,160, with the total buyer cost calculated at AED 1,384,590. Handover is scheduled for January 2028, providing a clear timeline for completion. The immediate investment thesis centres on the below-market entry point, the phased payment plan, and the potential for capital appreciation as Meydan Horizon matures and Parkway nears completion.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
LOCATION & TRANSPORT
Meydan Horizon is part of the wider Meydan master development, situated within Mohammed Bin Rashid City. This area is strategically positioned for connectivity, with easy access to Al Khail Road and Ras Al Khor Road, facilitating direct links to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and Dubai International Airport. The district is designed to benefit from future infrastructure upgrades, including improved public transport and road networks as the area develops. Residents will be within a short drive of major business and leisure hubs, while the proximity to Meydan Racecourse, Meydan One Mall, and Dubai Creek further enhances the location’s appeal. The area’s ongoing transformation is expected to drive both end-user and investor demand as new amenities and transport links come online.
AMENITIES & SURROUNDING
Parkway by Prestige One is conceived as a modern, resort-inspired residential tower, rising 34 storeys and comprising approximately 274 units. Residents will have access to a comprehensive suite of amenities designed to support a balanced, active lifestyle. These include an indoor cinema room with plush seating, a family pool and children’s pool, a fully equipped gym, yoga studio, sauna, and sports courts. Social and recreational spaces such as an arcade room, games room, barbecue facilities, leisure deck, and a juice bar are integrated into the podium and communal areas. The development also features landscaped gardens, a mini-putt green, and a children’s playground, all contributing to a community-oriented environment. The immediate surroundings of Meydan Horizon are planned to include retail, dining, and leisure options, with green spaces and canal-side walkways enhancing the overall living experience.
MARKET
From an investment perspective, Parkway by Prestige One is positioned to appeal to both end-users and rental investors. Recent transactions for two-bedroom units in the building have been recorded at AED 1,850–1,965 per square foot, indicating a healthy appetite for quality stock in this location. The offered 1-bedroom unit, at AED 1,793 per square foot, sits below these recent benchmarks, providing a margin for capital appreciation as the project nears completion. The phased payment plan reduces upfront capital exposure, while the handover timeline allows for market absorption and further area development. Rentability is supported by the project’s amenities, the growing profile of Meydan Horizon, and the increasing demand for modern, well-connected apartments in Dubai’s emerging districts. Liquidity is expected to improve as the area matures and as Parkway establishes its reputation. However, investors should be aware of typical off-plan risks, including construction timelines, market fluctuations, and the pace of surrounding infrastructure delivery.
CONCLUSION
This 1-bedroom apartment in Parkway by Prestige One represents a considered entry into Dubai’s off-plan market, with a clear discount to prevailing prices and a structured payment plan that supports capital management. The project’s amenity offering and the evolving Meydan Horizon location underpin both end-user appeal and rental potential. While the area is still developing and carries the usual risks associated with off-plan acquisitions, the fundamentals of connectivity, planned infrastructure, and competitive pricing provide a balanced investment case. For investors seeking exposure to Dubai’s growth corridors with a focus on future value and phased capital outlay, this opportunity warrants close attention.

Method
- Handover
- The date the unit is handed over, set in quarters from purchase. Gross rent, the vacancy allowance, maintenance and management, and the service charge all start there and not before — an unbuilt unit cannot be let and is not billed. The year handover falls in gets the exact fraction it is entitled to, not a rounded whole year. Capital growth is not treated this way: it compounds from today across the whole hold, because an off-plan unit can be sold before it completes. Where the holding period ends before handover, there is no operating income anywhere in the schedule and the whole return is capital movement less costs.
- Gross yield
- Gross annual rent ÷ purchase price. Before every cost. Where handover is in the future this is a stabilised full year from handover — a rate on the price, not a figure reduced by the construction period. The schedule shows what each year actually books.
- Net yield
- (Rent collected after the vacancy allowance − maintenance and management − service charge) ÷ purchase price. Stabilised on the same basis as the gross yield.
- Rent growth
- Compound annual movement in gross rent, applied from handover and stepping at each anniversary of it, which is when a tenancy renews. It may be negative. It does not touch the service charge, which is held flat in nominal terms.
- ROI
- Total profit over the whole hold ÷ total cash invested (price + all acquisition costs). Unlevered. Not an annual rate.
- ROE
- Total profit over the whole hold ÷ equity contributed (deposit + all acquisition and finance costs), after debt service. Levered. Not an annual rate.
- Cash-on-cash return
- Year-one operating cash flow, after debt service where there is a mortgage, ÷ cash invested. Reported separately from ROI/ROE and never merged with it. Year one means the first year of the schedule as it stands: where that year falls before handover it carries no rent, so on a mortgaged off-plan purchase the figure is negative — that is the year you fund out of pocket, and it is shown rather than smoothed away.
- IRR
- The annualised rate that discounts the dated cash-flow schedule above to a net present value of zero, solved numerically. Where the schedule has no sign change, or the solver does not converge on a single meaningful rate, we print “—” rather than substitute a simpler annualised-return figure.
An illustrative model, not a forecast, a valuation, an offer or investment advice. Every figure is generated from the assumptions on this page — some yours, the rest stated defaults, not promises. Rents, service charges, fees, vacancy, handover dates, financing terms and sale prices vary by unit and over time; past prices are not a guide to future prices. Returns are not guaranteed and capital is at risk.
Mortgage availability, loan-to-value, rate and term are subject to lender criteria and underwriting; nothing here indicates that finance will be offered.
