Budget pricing, heavy studio supply. Facts last verified 12 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | district | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Also known as | IMPZ, International Media Production Zone, Dubai Production City (IMPZ) | | Developments covered | 1 | | Wikidata | [Q6051955](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6051955) | ## Overview Dubai Production City, still widely known by its old name IMPZ, is a free zone for media, printing and production businesses that also contains a freehold residential district. It sits between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Khail Road (E44), next to Dubai Sports City and Jumeirah Golf Estates. Offices and warehouses occupy part of the zone; the rest is mid-rise apartment blocks, mainly studios to two-bedroom flats. The everyday anchor is City Centre Me'aisem, a Majid Al Futtaim mall about five minutes away. Schools are a short drive away rather than in the district itself. The largest single scheme is Park Five by [Deyaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/deyaar), a cluster of buildings named Alder, Ivy, Elm, Ember and Neem with studios to three-bedroom apartments of 433 to 1,277 sq ft. When we checked on 12 November 2026, Property Finder marked every Park Five building as sold out by the developer, with units available as resales and handovers listed for 2027. Samana Resorts, another well-known project here, is also shown as sold out on its developer's website. What remains on sale from developers is mostly from smaller private companies: Property Finder listed 31 new projects in the district, 12 with developer stock, at starting prices between about AED 550,000 and AED 880,000. As in [Jumeirah Village Circle](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-village-circle), the stock is weighted towards small units. There is no metro in the district; Bayut puts the nearest station, Discovery Gardens, about 15 minutes away by car, and Dubai Marina about 20. ## Who it suits - Budget apartment investors - People working in the media free zone - Tenants wanting lower rents near Sports City and JVC - Buyers happy with resale stock from established developers ## Highlights - City Centre Me'aisem mall about five minutes away - Between two main highways, about 20 minutes from Dubai Marina - Starting prices for new studios from about AED 550,000 (Property Finder, November 2026) - Park Five gives the district a large, amenity-led scheme by an established developer, Deyaar - Employment on the doorstep in the free zone ## Considerations - Studio and one-bedroom supply is heavy, both here and in neighbouring Sports City and JVC, which caps rents for generic small units - The better-known schemes (Park Five, Samana Resorts) were marked sold out by their developers in November 2026; most remaining developer stock is from small companies with short track records - No metro; the nearest station is about 15 minutes away by car - Limited amenities inside the district and tight visitor parking, according to Bayut's guide - Part of the zone is offices and warehouses, which shapes the streetscape on some roads ## Drive times - City Centre Me'aisem: about 5 minutes - Jumeirah Village Circle: about 12 minutes - Dubai Marina: about 20 minutes - Downtown Dubai: about 25 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 30 minutes ## Developments in Dubai Production City - [Binghatti Elite](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-production-city/binghatti-elite): Binghatti; Dubai Production City, Dubai; ready; handover Q2 2026; from AED 831,249 (as of 2026-11-12) ## Nearby areas - [Dubai Sports City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-sports-city) - [Jumeirah Golf Estates](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-golf-estates) - [Jumeirah Village Circle](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-village-circle) - [Tilal Al Ghaf](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/tilal-al-ghaf) ## Questions and answers ### Is Dubai Production City the same as IMPZ? Yes. IMPZ (International Media Production Zone) is the district's former name and is still used on many listings. ### Can foreigners buy property in Dubai Production City? Yes. The residential projects are listed as freehold, so foreign nationals can own outright. ### Is Park Five by Deyaar still on sale? Not from the developer, according to Property Finder: on 12 November 2026 all Park Five buildings (Alder, Ivy, Elm, Ember, Neem) were marked sold out, with resale listings available. Handover for most is listed in 2027. ### Is there a metro station in Dubai Production City? No. Bayut's guide gives Discovery Gardens as the nearest station, about 15 minutes by car. ### How much does new property in Dubai Production City cost? Among the developments we cover in Dubai Production City, prices start from AED 831,249 at [Binghatti Elite](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-production-city/binghatti-elite). ### Which developers are building in Dubai Production City?

Published figures for Dubai Production City: AED 1,325 per sq ft for all homes (average sale price per sq ft; Property Finder, from registered transactions, 12 months to 12 November 2026, 3,003 sales). Averages move with the mix of homes sold, and asking prices usually sit above prices paid. Compare areas in our [price per sq ft table](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/data/area-prices). ### What is the rental yield in Dubai Production City? The published average gross rental yield in Dubai Production City is 7.64% for all homes (Property Finder, from registered transactions, 12 months to 12 November 2026, 3,003 sales). Gross yield is before service charges, empty months, management and fees, so the net figure is lower: work it out for a specific home with the [rental yield calculator](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/tools/rental-yield-calculator), or compare areas on [rental yields by area](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/data/area-yields). ### What is the average rent in Dubai Production City? The average annual rent on new contracts in Dubai Production City is AED 57,669 for all homes (Property Finder, from registered tenancy contracts, 12 months to 12 November 2026, 8,072 contracts). That average mixes studios with larger homes, so ask for the rents achieved on comparable units before relying on a figure for one property. ## Sources Facts on this page were last checked against these sources on 12 November 2026. - [Bayut area guide: Dubai Production City](https://www.bayut.com/area-guides/dubai-production-city/) - [Property Finder: new projects in Dubai Production City (IMPZ)](https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/new-projects/lp/dubai/dubai-production-city-impz) - [Deyaar: Park Five](https://www.deyaar.ae/en/projects/park-five) - [Samana Developers: Samana Resorts (sold out)](https://www.samanadevelopers.com/projects/samana-resorts) - [Property Finder: Samana Resorts Phase 2 (drive times)](https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/new-projects/samana-developers/samana-resorts-phase-2) --- Source page: https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-production-city.
