Signature Mansions on the Fire course
Signature Mansions forms a gated enclave of large villas inside Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai. Signature Developers laid it out as a small community of its own, fronting the Fire course and about 50 metres from the clubhouse.
The villas
The villas are specified with five or six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a walk-in wardrobe in the principal bedroom. Sizes are specified between 9,168 sq ft and 16,000 sq ft. Three villa designs are named: Magnolia, Jasmine and Orchid.
Inside, each villa is specified with formal living rooms as well as family ones, several rooms for entertaining, a private cinema and courtyards. Entry is through a foyer of double height that opens onto an internal courtyard rising three storeys. Sky atriums and a lift are listed, and staff have their own quarters, kept apart for a maid and a driver. A private pool on the roof is specified for every villa.
Parking and the streets
The layout specified for Signature Mansions keeps cars below ground. An underground spine is specified beneath the villas, with covered parking on the lower level for up to six cars per owner, lit from above by sunken light wells. Above ground, the streets are designed as car-free boulevards for walking, with golf carts the only vehicles specified for them.
Jumeirah Golf Estates
Jumeirah Golf Estates, a golf community, lies along the E311 with Dubai Sports City as its neighbour. It is made up of 13 residential estates around two 18-hole courses, Fire and Earth, which have been the venue for the Dubai World Championship from 2008 onward. The first phase holds 1,050 villas across those 13 estates, and three quarters of the properties look onto a course; the rest face lakes or strips of planting. Seven apartment buildings stand in the community, the last of them the Andalus Towers in its northern corner, finished in 2020.
Seven estates line the Fire course: Valencia Grove, Sienna Views, Sienna Lakes and Orange Lake, along with Juniper Way, Flame Tree Ridge and Fireside. Six more surround the Earth course, among them Wildflower, Whispering Pines and Olive Point.
