Mövenpick Residences Dubai Motor City Marks First Standalone Branded Project

Accor and CITYVIEW Developments have partnered to launch Mövenpick Residences Dubai Motor City, the world's first standalone Mövenpick branded residences and the initial branded residential development in the Motor City

Accor and Dubai-based CITYVIEW Developments have announced the launch of Mövenpick Residences Dubai Motor City, a significant new project marking the global debut of standalone Mövenpick branded residences. This development is also the first branded residential offering in Dubai Motor City, bringing a hospitality-led living concept to the established community.

The project is slated for completion and opening in 2028 and will feature 408 residences, comprising studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Future residents can anticipate a comprehensive suite of amenities designed to enhance lifestyle and wellbeing.

Residential Amenities and Benefits

Amenities within Mövenpick Residences Dubai Motor City include a fitness centre, indoor and outdoor lounges, a padel court, a dedicated BBQ area, pet grooming facilities, a kids' club, and multiple swimming pools. Residents will also gain access to the Accor Owner Benefits Programme, which provides enhanced status within the ALL Accor loyalty program and privileges across participating hotels and resorts.

Strategic Location and Market Context

Situated in Dubai Motor City, the development benefits from its location within a well-established residential area that offers diverse retail, dining, and leisure options. The site is approximately 20 minutes from Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina, and about 30 minutes from [Downtown Dubai](/areas/downtown-dubai), Dubai International Airport, and Al Maktoum International Airport.

This launch aligns with the continued expansion of Dubai's branded residential market. According to recent announcements, transaction volumes in this sector saw a 26% year-on-year increase, with total sales value rising by 51% during the first nine months of 2025. Knight Frank's 'The Residence Report' (2026/27) forecasts that over 31,300 branded units are planned for Dubai between 2025 and 2030, underscoring the robust growth in this segment.

This project follows the successful collaboration between Accor and CITYVIEW Developments on Hyde Residences Dubai Hills, indicating a growing partnership aimed at exploring further developments across Dubai.
