Reportage Mydana 1 at Meydan Horizon Dubai

The developer is the single most important variable on an off-plan purchase, because at planning stage the building itself cannot be inspected. Reportage Properties was established as a single entity in 2014 and is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, chaired by Aref Al Khoori. In Dubai it is registered with the Dubai Land Department as Developer number 1277 as of July 2019, holds Dubai Chamber of Commerce registration 308768 and operates under Dubai Economic Department licence 814323. It reported revenue of AED 2.3 billion in 2022 and has planned and designed more than 11,000 residential units.

Its delivery history begins with Leonardo Residences in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, handed over in 2018. The company runs offices in Cairo, Istanbul, Riyadh, Minsk and Moscow alongside the UAE, with projects implemented across Egypt, Morocco, Turkiye and Belarus. In Saudi Arabia it launched the Najd 5 project in eastern Riyadh, expected total Saudi sales above SAR 500 million by the end of 2025, and confirmed the structurally complete Najd 1 project for delivery in the first quarter of 2026.

Recent Dubai activity is where a Mydana 1 buyer should focus. Across 2026 Reportage launched 16 developments in the emirate, more than any other developer, and ranked among the top 10 developers for sales of properties priced below AED 2 million with 1,322 transactions. That places Mydana 1 inside the segment where the company has its deepest recorded sales history. It also means a high number of concurrent projects, so ask specifically about construction progress and contractor appointment on this building rather than on the group.

The recorded launch price for Mydana 1 starts at AED 1,100,000. To judge whether that represents value, it has to be converted into a rate per square foot and set against registrations in the same area. The Dubai Land Department publishes sale transactions daily under the government Open Data directive, and the registrations below were completed at named projects in Bu Kadra during the last week of July 2026.

Recorded rates ranged from AED 1,850 to AED 2,794 per square foot, a spread of roughly 51% within one week. Every 1-bedroom registration exceeded AED 1.89 million, while every 2- and 3-bedroom registration exceeded AED 2.3 million.

Once Reportage confirms the saleable area of a specific Mydana 1 unit, divide the quoted price by that area and compare the result with the recorded transactions above. A quoted price without a confirmed saleable area cannot be meaningfully compared with a recorded rate, making the unit area the first figure to verify.

Mydana 1 is positioned in Meydan Horizon, a master-planned district on the Ras Al Khor Road and Dubai Al Ain Road corridor, directly opposite the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary was declared a Protected Area on 1 March 1998 under Local Order Number 2 of 1998 and designated under the Ramsar Convention in 2007 across 620 hectares, so the frontage cannot be built over.

Measured from the completed tower already standing in Bu Kadra, Dubai Mall is roughly 12 minutes by road, Burj Al Arab 22 minutes, Palm Jumeirah 24 minutes and The Walk JBR 27 minutes. Dubai International Airport is roughly 20 minutes and Al Maktoum International roughly 41 minutes. North London Collegiate School Dubai on the IB curriculum and Hartland International School on the British curriculum are the nearest schools, both holding a government inspection rating of Very Good.

Mydana 1 is recorded at planning stage. Across Bu Kadra, 14 developments are under construction and 24 including this one are at planning stage, against 1 completed building. Most projects across Meydan Horizon are expected to hand over between 2027 and 2029, though the date that governs an individual purchase is the one written into its sale and purchase agreement rather than a district estimate.

Because the building has not started, the timeline questions to put to Reportage are specific. Ask for the contractual completion date, the construction start date, the appointed main contractor, and the compensation terms that apply if handover is delayed. Each of those belongs in the sale and purchase agreement rather than in a brochure.

Unit mix, floor layouts, built-up and saleable areas, ceiling heights, parking allocation, the amenity schedule and the payment structure for Mydana 1 all come from Reportage directly. Request each in writing and check that the reservation form and the sale and purchase agreement carry identical terms before signing either. Confirm in particular whether balcony area is included in the quoted price per square foot, since that single point can move the effective rate materially.

A further 3 checks belong with the Dubai Land Department rather than the seller. Confirm the project is registered and that the escrow account number on the reservation form matches the RERA record. Confirm the unit will be registered under Oqood in the buyer name. Confirm the treatment of the 4 percent transfer fee and the associated registration charges, so the full acquisition cost is known before any payment moves.
