Its centrepiece is the Dubai Autodrome, which opened in October 2004. The circuit's longest layout is the 5.39 km Grand Prix track, and it hosts the annual Dubai 24 Hour race. Binghatti's area guide describes Motor City as freehold for both UAE nationals and expatriates. The community has distinct parts. UpTown Motor City has low-rise apartment buildings from studios to four bedrooms; Green Community Motor City has villas of three to five bedrooms; and Business Park Motor City has office towers, shops and car showrooms, beside the Autodrome itself. First Avenue Mall and The Ribbon provide shopping, with Spinneys, Waitrose and Carrefour among the supermarkets, and GEMS Metropole School is inside the community. Bayut describes it as family and pet friendly, with open space for walking. A new round of building is under way. Property Finder listed 20 new projects in Motor City on 12 November 2026, 12 with developer stock, including Union Properties' own Mirdad and Takaya schemes, two Sobha towers and [Binghatti](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/binghatti)'s [Binghatti SkyTerraces](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/motor-city/binghatti-skyterraces). For the projects still being built, handover dates on the page run from late 2027 to early 2029. By car, Bayut gives about 20 minutes to Dubai Mall and 24 to Dubai International Airport.
