The brief
AQUA Properties has planned The Central Uptown, a residential tower, for Arjan in Al Barsha South, Dubai. It is specified at 30 storeys over three basement levels, and its unit mix is studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, with two retail units alongside them.
Sizes, areas and parking are the figures given for the project, quoted as stated.
Below ground, the three basement levels are given over to car parking, with 512 spaces in all. Its gross floor area is stated at 320,500 sq ft, with a built-up area of 631,561 sq ft.
Four firms are named on the project team. AQUA Properties is the developer. Barajeel Engineering Consultants is the architectural consultant and AAT Design Engineering the design architect, while Atcon Constructions is named as the main contractor.
The Central Uptown is specified with three apartment types and two shop units.
Studios, 369–535 sq ft. The smallest units in the building.
One-bedroom apartments, 686–1,466 sq ft. The widest range in the building. At the top of the range a one-bedroom unit is larger than the largest two-bedroom unit, so floor area alone does not tell you the bedroom count.
Two-bedroom apartments, 1,159–1,464 sq ft.
Typical apartments are specified with appliances built in.
When comparing units, ask for the plan of each with its floor, its outlook and how its area is measured, and have them confirmed in writing before you commit.

In depth
Arjan is a freehold community of mixed use in Al Barsha South.
History. Arjan was launched in 2006 as one piece of the wider Dubailand scheme, which was planned around a large set of theme parks. Work stopped in 2010, as it did on many Dubai projects after the global financial crash, and later resumed. Dubai Miracle Garden opened in Arjan in 2013 and Butterfly Park followed in 2015. By September 2020, 48 buildings had been completed in the community and 37 more were in development.
The masterplan. The current plan divides Arjan into 10 development zones holding 157 plots in total. Alongside apartments, it provides for offices, retail and hotels, and its residential space is sized for 67,000 people.
Several parks are within a short walk. The nearest, 0.2 km from the site, is Arjan Activities Park; at 0.6 km is Arjan Family Park, and at 0.7 km Diamond Park in Arjan. Dubai Miracle Garden lies 1.0 km away.
For golf, the Els club is 3.1 km from the site and the Arabian Ranches club 3.3 km. The nearest cinema is 2.3 km away, in Circle Mall.
In the streets around the plot, existing apartment buildings hold mini marts and supermarkets, cafés and restaurants, pharmacies and medical clinics, salons, laundries and several gyms, among them a yoga studio.
Schools. At 0.5 km is Australian International School Dubai, and at 0.7 km Dhruv Global School. Further out, the Nord Anglia international school is 1.1 km from the site and holds an Outstanding rating. In all, 14 schools near the project hold one of the two top grades in Dubai's government school inspections, Very Good or Outstanding.
