Knightsbridge Meydan District 11 Dubai

Knightsbridge is Leos Developments' gated set of 112 homes in Meydan District 11, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City — 4 BHK townhouses from about 3,939 sq ft, 5 BHK villas from 5,657 to 6,005 sq ft and 6 BHK villas from about 9,007 sq ft. Prices start at AED 7,900,000 (about Rs 20.34 crore). The handover on record is Q4 2027.

The rate is what matters. At AED 7.9 million for a 3,939 sq ft townhouse the entry home works out at about AED 2,006 per sq ft, against a Mohammed Bin Rashid City median near AED 2,076 on a Property Finder area reading — a new gated villa at the district median is unusual. The paperwork is not settled: three payment plans and two handover dates are in print, and no page publishes the DLD project number.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Only one price is published by unit type: the AED 7.9 million entry on the 4 BHK townhouse. Nothing we found puts a figure against the 5 BHK or 6 BHK villas — those are sold off a price list, unit by unit.

The comparison worth making is with the district. Mohammed Bin Rashid City's median sits near AED 2,076 per sq ft across all stock, apartments included, and Knightsbridge's entry townhouse comes in just under that. The premium buyers usually pay for a new gated community is not showing up in the headline figure. Where it may show up is in the villa price list, so ask for it before deciding anything.

Payment plan and total cost

Three plans are in circulation and only the developer's live price list settles which applies. The most commonly printed is 20% on booking, 30% during construction and 50% on transfer of ownership; a 10/50/40 plan and a flat 50/50 also appear. Worked on the AED 7.9 million entry townhouse under the first:

The 20/30/50 split is light on pre-handover cash for a villa at this price: half the money waits until the title transfers. Under the 10/50/40 alternative you pay 60% before handover instead of 50%, which is a different deal on the same house — so ask for the first plan by name.

No source publishes a service charge for Knightsbridge. A villa community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City carries a community charge on top of your own pool and garden maintenance — ask for the budgeted rate per sq ft a year in writing. The UAE charges no annual property tax, and a residential sale does not attract VAT, so the one-off 4% DLD transfer fee is the main government cost in the deal.

Location and connectivity

Meydan District 11 sits inside Mohammed Bin Rashid City, between Al Khail Road (E44) and Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66). Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa are about 15 minutes by car, DXB about 20, and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is across Ras Al Khor Road. Meydan Racecourse and the Meydan Hotel are a few minutes away.

The district is car-dependent: no Dubai Metro station serves Meydan District 11 today, and the nearest lines run along Sheikh Zayed Road. That matters less for a villa buyer than for an apartment investor, but it caps rental demand from tenants without cars.

For the other Meydan projects in this set at different price points, see Mira Villas, the branded villa product a few plots away in the same District 11, and Samana Rome, the apartment option in the same district. See all Dubai projects we track and the projects list.

Amenities and specifications

Every residence is quoted with a private swimming pool, a private garden LEOS describes as a growing space for produce, a climate-controlled terrace, a jacuzzi, a private lift, a demonstration kitchen, staff quarters, a cinema room and a smart-home system. A lift and staff quarters in every unit is a villa specification rather than a townhouse one, and it separates this from most gated launches at the same rate.

At community level LEOS quotes a wellness space, a barbecue area and gated access, and states that 70% of the total plot is green space. It markets the scheme as a climate-adaptive wellness community; that phrase is the developer's, and no source publishes an energy or cooling specification behind it. Also unpublished: the appliance schedule, the parking allocation, plot sizes and the service-charge budget. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Leos Developments, trading in Dubai as LEOS International, was founded in the United Kingdom in 2013 and moved into the UAE in the early 2020s. Its UK work included residential conversions in Mayfair, London. Its Dubai portfolio now runs across Meydan, Jumeirah Village Circle, Jumeirah Village Triangle, Dubailand and Nakheel's Greenwood at Al Warsan, with nine UAE projects reported under way.

Named schemes include Weybridge Gardens 4 in Dubailand, an AED 475 million project reported as on track, and Kensington Gardens at Greenwood, an AED 1.1 billion community with completion set for Q4 2027 and the main contract issued. LEOS publishes a construction-progress page covering its portfolio, which is where to start your own check.

What the sources checked do not show is a completed, handed-over Dubai villa community. You are buying on a UK record and a UAE pipeline, not on a Dubai delivery history. That is not a reason to avoid the project, but it is the reason to read the escrow arrangement and the SPA date rather than take the brochure's word.

For Indian buyers

Freehold, any nationality. Mohammed Bin Rashid City is a designated freehold area, so an Indian buyer — resident or not — owns the home outright, with the title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department in their own name. No local partner, no residence visa needed in order to buy. On AED 7.9 million the 4% DLD transfer fee is AED 316,000, and trustee, registration and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% over the price.

The remittance ceiling is the real constraint. AED 7.9 million is about USD 2.15 million, and the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year — roughly nine years of one allowance, or more than four for a couple. Even the pre-handover half under the 20/30/50 plan is about USD 1.08 million. In practice this price point is bought by non-resident Indians whose funds already sit outside India, by families pooling allowances across years, or with a UAE mortgage: banks lend a non-resident about 50% on an off-plan purchase, in dirhams.

Golden Visa. AED 7.9 million clears the AED 2 million threshold roughly four times over, as does every larger configuration. Apply through the DLD once the Oqood registration or the title is in your name, and confirm the rules for an off-plan purchase at the time you buy.

Tax, yield and exit. The UAE charges no annual property tax and takes no tax on rent; an Indian tax resident still declares the rental income and any capital gain in India, with credit for tax paid abroad under the India-UAE treaty. On yield, be realistic: Mohammed Bin Rashid City apartments run around 5.5% to 7.2% gross and about 4.3% net after service charges, and villas at this size sit lower, because rent does not scale with plot the way price does. Villa resale in Meydan is also thinner than apartment resale, and an off-plan exit depends on finding a buyer who wants this exact product from a developer with no delivered Dubai villa community. Buy this to live in and plan to hold past handover.

Pros

• At about AED 2,006 per sq ft the entry townhouse prices roughly at the Mohammed Bin Rashid City median of AED 2,076, which is unusual for a new gated villa product
• Only 112 homes, all with a private pool and garden, rather than a 600-plot masterplan
• About 15 minutes from Downtown and 20 from DXB, between Al Khail Road and Dubai-Al Ain Road
• The per-home specification — private lift, staff quarters, cinema room, climate-controlled terrace — is a genuine villa spec
• Every configuration clears the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold several times over
• The 20/30/50 plan leaves half the money until transfer, a light pre-handover load for a villa at this price

Cons

• LEOS has no completed Dubai villa community on the sources checked — the Dubai record is a pipeline, not a delivery history
• Three payment plans and two handover dates are in print; nothing is settled until you see the price list and the SPA
• No source prints the DLD project number, the escrow bank, the service charge or the individual plot sizes
• Knightsbridge 2 starts at AED 13.8 M and is marketed alongside, so a quoted figure can belong to the wrong phase
• AED 7.9 M is about USD 2.15 M — nearly nine annual LRS allowances, out of reach from India in one year
• Villa resale in Meydan is thinner than apartment resale, and District 11 has no Dubai Metro station, so the community is car-dependent

Who this is for

• End users who want a 4 BHK townhouse of nearly 4,000 sq ft with its own pool at about the district's median rate
• Overseas buyers whose funds already sit outside India, so the LRS ceiling does not bind
• Golden Visa buyers who want one property well above the AED 2 M threshold rather than several small ones
• Buyers who will read the SPA, the price list and the DLD progress record first

Who should look elsewhere

• Yield investors — a villa at AED 7.9 M does not return what a Meydan apartment does
• Resident Indian buyers relying on the LRS alone, since the pre-handover half is about USD 1.08 M by itself
• Anyone who needs a delivered Dubai villa community from the developer before committing
• Buyers who need certainty on the handover quarter today, while Q1 2027 and Q4 2027 are both in print

Our verdict

Knightsbridge is priced better than its marketing suggests: a new gated villa at about AED 2,006 per sq ft in a district whose median is around AED 2,076, with a pool, a lift and staff quarters in every home. What you are taking on is the developer, plus three payment plans and two handover dates in circulation. If the SPA carries a Q4 2027 date, the escrow account checks out on the Dubai REST app and the price list matches AED 7.9 M, this is a sensible buy for an end user. If any of those three does not line up, walk.

FAQs

What is the price of Knightsbridge in Meydan?

Units start from AED 7,900,000, about Rs 20.34 crore at 25.75 rupees to the dirham. On the 3,939 sq ft 4 BHK townhouse that is about AED 2,006 per sq ft. The second phase, Knightsbridge 2, is marketed from AED 13,800,000, so check which phase a quoted price belongs to.

What is the payment plan?

Three are in print: 20/30/50, 10/50/40 and a flat 50/50. On AED 7.9 M the 20/30/50 plan is AED 1,580,000 down, AED 2,370,000 during the build and AED 3,950,000 at transfer, plus a 4% DLD transfer fee of AED 316,000.

When is the handover?

Q4 2027 is the date on record and the one most sources carry. Two pages print Q1 2027, with ownership transferring in March 2027 — a nine-month spread on the same project. Ask LEOS for the completion date written into the SPA.

How big are the homes?

4 BHK townhouses start at about 3,939 sq ft, 5 BHK villas at 5,657 sq ft on one source and 6,005 on another, and 6 BHK villas at about 9,007 sq ft. Plot sizes are not published.

Who is Leos Developments?

A developer founded in the United Kingdom in 2013 that trades in Dubai as LEOS International, with nine UAE projects under way across Meydan, JVC, JVT, Dubailand and Greenwood, including Weybridge Gardens 4 and the AED 1.1 billion Kensington Gardens. No completed Dubai villa community appears on the sources checked.

Is the project registered with the DLD?

LEOS states that its projects use a DLD-approved escrow account with Oqood registration, the standard for off-plan sales in Dubai, but no source checked prints the project number. Look it up on the Dubai REST app and confirm the escrow account before paying a booking amount.

Does a purchase here qualify for the Golden Visa?

Yes on value. The AED 2 M threshold is cleared roughly four times over by the AED 7.9 M entry home, and every larger configuration clears it too. Apply through the DLD once the title or the Oqood registration is in your name, and confirm the current rules for an off-plan purchase at the time you buy.

Can an Indian buyer fund this under the LRS?

Not in a single year on one allowance. AED 7.9 M is about USD 2.15 M, and the Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year. Even the pre-handover half is about USD 1.08 M. This is a purchase for funds already held outside India, or for a family spreading remittances across people and years.

What are the running costs?

No source prints a service charge for Knightsbridge. Budget a Mohammed Bin Rashid City villa community rate, your own pool and garden maintenance, and the one-off 4% DLD transfer fee of AED 316,000. The UAE charges no annual property tax, and a residential sale does not attract VAT.
