Description
O1NE District is a purpose-built commercial district in Motor City, developed through a joint venture between AVENEW Development and KORA Properties, with KORA backed by APPCORP Holding, the conglomerate behind Apparel Group. The AED 6 billion masterplan comprises six Grade A office towers, a hospital, and an integrated retail mall on a prime plot directly adjacent to the Dubai Autodrome, all connected through shared podiums, retail promenades, landscaped zones, and pedestrian-first pathways.
The first tower now launching is DAWN, a 21-storey Grade A commercial building offering freehold offices and retail spaces. DAWN is designed around natural light and flexibility: efficient, adaptable floorplates, generous floor-to-floor heights, a concierge-serviced super lobby, dedicated office elevators, and smart building infrastructure. Direct air-conditioned connectivity links the tower to the retail destination, while sky gardens, landscaped podium terraces, outdoor co-working areas, and rooftop dining venues give occupiers a full lifestyle around the workday. Reported office units span roughly 1,963 to 5,479 sq ft.
The timing is the story. Dubai’s prime office market has been running at a reported vacancy of around 0.3%, with average office sales prices up roughly 26% year-on-year in 2025 and Grade A supply forecast to remain critically short through 2027-28. O1NE District enters that gap in Motor City, an established, well-connected community identified as one of Dubai’s emerging commercial clusters. For Australian investors, this is a rare freehold commercial entry: a Grade A asset class usually dominated by institutions, with an interest-free plan from 10% down and half deferred to handover.
Dubai’s prime office vacancy has been reported near 0.3%, with average office prices up ~26% year-on-year in 2025 and the Grade A shortage described as structural through 2027-28.
Six office towers, an integrated retail mall, a hospital, and landscaped public spaces in one walkable district, designed so occupiers never need to leave.
KORA Properties is backed by APPCORP Holding, the conglomerate behind Apparel Group with 2,500+ stores across 14 countries, pairing AVENEW’s design-led vision with serious execution capability.
Directly adjacent to the Dubai Autodrome, one of the city’s most distinctive lifestyle anchors, with direct E311 access, ~20 minutes to Downtown and ~15 to Dubai Marina.
DLD registration fee (4%) applies separately. Launch pricing is indicative, varies by floor and configuration, and is subject to change at the developers’ discretion.
O1NE District offers an interest-free plan built for capital efficiency: 10% on booking, around 40% across construction milestones, and the final 50% on completion in Q1 2030. With half the price deferred to handover, capital stays free while the asset is built, and all payments run through a DLD-registered escrow account for full legal protection. No bank is involved and no interest is charged.
Motor City is a mature, well-connected community in New Dubai that has quietly evolved from a motorsport and residential enclave into a genuine micro-city, now identified among Dubai’s emerging commercial clusters. O1NE District sits directly beside the Dubai Autodrome, with direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) plus Al Khail Road and Hessa Street. A large residential catchment surrounds the district, with Arabian Ranches, Dubai Sports City, and Dubai Studio City minutes away, and the corridor’s importance is set to grow as Al Maktoum International Airport expands.
O1NE District is designed as a pedestrian-first destination where business, retail, wellness, and leisure share one connected environment, with DAWN setting the quality standard as the district’s first tower.
Unlike a standalone office tower, O1NE District is a phased AED 6 billion ecosystem: six Grade A towers connected through shared podiums and retail promenades, a hospital built into the masterplan rather than added as an afterthought, and a future mall intended as the community’s heart. Offices connect to the retail destination through direct air-conditioned walkways, so no one steps into the summer heat for lunch. The district is designed to compound in value and function as each phase comes online.
Commercial property is a different play from residential, and the current numbers explain the interest: Dubai’s prime office vacancy has been reported at around 0.3%, average office sales prices rose roughly 26% year-on-year in 2025 to about AED 1,951 per sqft, and forecasters expect Grade A supply to remain critically short through 2027-28 because the shortage is structural rather than temporary. O1NE District enters this gap with institutionally backed developers, an entry-phase freehold product in an emerging commercial cluster, and a capital-efficient plan with only 10% down and half deferred to Q1 2030 handover. Motor City’s established residential catchment and the growing Al Maktoum corridor add long-term demand drivers as the phased district matures.
Freehold property investments meeting the relevant value thresholds could potentially support UAE residency visa applications, including the 10-year Golden Visa at AED 2 million and above. Eligibility criteria for commercial property are set by the DLD and immigration authorities and should be confirmed at the time of purchase.

AVENEW Development is a Dubai-born developer founded with a mandate to design experiences rather than simply construct buildings, led by Managing Partner Rasha Hassan with a philosophy of intentional, design-led development. KORA Properties brings a fully integrated real estate platform spanning commercial, retail, hospitality, and lifestyle sectors, giving the joint venture the operational execution strength that design-led concepts require.
KORA is backed by APPCORP Holding, one of the region’s leading conglomerates with presence across 14 countries and flagship enterprise Apparel Group operating over 2,500 stores globally, chaired by Nilesh Ved. The combination of design intelligence and institutional infrastructure makes O1NE District one of the most strongly backed commercial district launches Dubai has seen, with DAWN as its opening statement.
First-mover allocations in DAWN, the district’s opening tower, set the entry point for the entire masterplan. Our team is available across Australian and UAE time zones.
