The brief
Crystal Tower is a mid-rise apartment building under development by VHS Developments, located in Dubai International City, the master community built by Nakheel. It is specified at seven storeys, and its unit types run from studios through one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
The project is off-plan.
International City is a Nakheel community, sometimes called Warsan First. It lies on the E311, Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, between its interchanges 5 and 6.
The plan repeats a single idea across the district: clusters, each named after a country and built in that country's architectural style. The countries are China, England, France, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Persia, Russia, Spain and the Emirates, and the clusters are grouped around a Central Business District. The nine residential districts, together with the Central Business District, hold 485 apartment buildings. Apartments in the Central Business District tend to be larger than in the country clusters, and more of its buildings have pools and gyms.
Dragon Mart. Within the community is Dragon Mart, a dragon-shaped trading centre for Chinese goods that stretches 1.2 kilometres, covers 150,000 sq m and houses 3,950 shops. It opened in 2004, before the residential clusters were built. Dragon Mart 2, an extension of 93,000 sq m, followed in 2016 with close to 1,000 outlets for shopping, dining and entertainment, a 12-screen cinema and a 251-room hotel reached straight from the mall.
Points to check. Two features of the district deserve attention before a purchase. The access roads into International City are known to back up at peak hours. And the sewage treatment plant at Al Aweer, in operation since 1988, sits beside the community; odour from it has been a long-standing complaint, mainly overnight and early in the morning and most noticeably on the eastern side, where the Emirates cluster lies 200 metres from the plant.
Three parks are within half a kilometre: two of the Warsan Residential North Parks, numbers 2 and 1, at 0.1 km and 0.3 km, and the Warsan Residential Sports Park at 0.5 km.
The closest cinema is 1.1 km away at Dragon Mall, and the nearest hotel, the Ibis Styles at Dragon Mart, is 1.8 km off. Mirdif City Centre, with its cinema, is 4.4 km away, and a third is 7.1 km away in the Festival City mall. It is 4.9 km to Dubai Safari Park and 5.8 km to Al Badia Golf Club.
Four schools sit roughly a kilometre away in Al Warqa, among them Newlands School and Primus Private School, each 1.0 km from the building. In the wider area, GEMS Modern Academy and Repton School Dubai carry the government inspection rating of 'Outstanding'.
Nearby districts include Warsan Village, a gated townhouse community 1.7 km away at one corner of International City, as well as Mirdif at 5.7 km, Dubai Festival City at 6.8 km and Liwan at 8.3 km.
