Rabdan Gardens in Jumeirah Garden City
Rabdan Gardens is a high-rise residential building in Jumeirah Garden City, part of the Al Satwa area of Dubai. It is a single building of 11 storeys, with apartments and retail units. Its front and massing are turned toward the community park next to the site.
The building and units
The apartments are listed for the project as studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, and the building also holds two retail units. Its curves draw on the shapes of the sea close by and of the desert dunes of the region. The design relies on passive means to limit heat from the sun. Inside, finishes are neutral in tone and the materials are natural.
Owners can choose how their outdoor areas are fitted out; the options listed for the project include private pools, outdoor kitchens and covered seating.
The project's listed amenities are swimming pools, terraces, landscaped gardens and walkways, parks and open space, seating areas and retail outlets, with CCTV and security.

Al Satwa is one of Dubai's historic districts. Dubai Municipality has changed its building rules for the area to allow taller buildings for residential and mixed use. Plots facing internal roads may now take two residential storeys over the ground floor, and plots facing external roads two or three floors of residential space over a commercial ground level, with planning requirements applying. Where a plot, or an approved combination of plots, covers at least 1,000 square metres, the owner may build eight residential floors over the ground floor. The district has also shifted away from long-term leasehold towards freehold, which lets developers register one project under several title deeds. Jumeirah Garden City is one of three sub-communities of Al Satwa and is under development.
