Orchid Residence 1, Dubai South (Dubai World Central) · by Orchid Living

Orchid Residence 1, Dubai South (Dubai World Central)

No price is given for this tower because there are too few recent sales to base one on. 1 market sale in the 12 months to 24 Oct 2026; 1 sales on record since 2026. A median needs at least 5.

The project
ft. The building has a rooftop pool, a rooftop garden, a gym and a corner plot. The design uses timber and colored vertical fins on the facade, planted balconies and Vastu-inspired layouts in select units. Sources: brochure (PDF)
The developer says
Orchid Residence 1 is a low-density boutique community of 44 freehold, fully furnished apartments in a low-rise G+4 building in Dubai South. As given on dxboffplan.com
The market says
1 sale in the last 90 days.
James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Orchid Residence 1 is off-plan, due in 2026, so no owner has sold a completed home here yet. Buyers took 1 home in the last 90 days. Sales are slow. Ask for a better payment plan before you sign, and compare the price with a completed tower next door.”

The map loads when you reach it.

3D: AI picture models of our towers (height and position from the map, detail approximate) and blocks from OpenStreetMap heights.

Construction progress: not found

We found no public progress record for this tower. Ask the developer for the latest inspection report from the Land Department.

Payment plan: not found

We checked the pages we hold for this tower and found no payment plan that passed our checks. We do not guess one. Ask the developer for the current plan.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 24 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

TypeOff-plan: soldOff-plan: per sq ft
2-bedunder 5 (1)–

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 1 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

Too few off-plan sales to state a yearly change

1 off-plan sales in the last 12 months and 0 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.

Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.

Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most. Grey bars have fewer than 3 sales. Off-plan sales are 100% of all sales in this tower, so the early quarters show launch prices.

Every sale since 2026: 1 sales of 1 units

Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from Orchid Residence 1, and the towers within 150 m that can stand in the way. What a home really sees depends on its floor and its side of the building. We do not have the unit positions for this tower yet, so we cannot tell you the view of one unit.

No resident reviews: the tower is not built

Nobody lives in Orchid Residence 1 yet, so there is nothing a resident can tell you. Reviews you see elsewhere under this name are about the sales office, the developer or another building. What we can show is below: what the developer and the documents say about the project. We add resident reviews after handover.

Where sources disagree

  • Completion date differs by site: dxboffplan guide says Q2 2026 in the header and Q1 2026 in the body, Propsearch says Q2 2026, Green City says Q3 2026, and search results give Q2 2026 and March 31, 2026.
  • Developer's name is written three ways (Orchid Living, Orchid Living Developments, Orchid Living Real Estate); treated as one company.
  • Starting price differs: dxboffplan says 1,100,000 AED and Green City says 335,950, which looks unreliable.
  • Reviews: 2 of 4 (2026-05) read like comments from a sales event or developer pitch, not resident experience; the building was not yet handed over, so these are not living experience.

Floors, apartments and completion year

Delivery record (on time or late)
Not found. A first project by this developer, with no completed delivery shown. Expected handover is Q1 to Q3 2026 depending on the site, and our data show the first sale on 2026-10-06 as off-plan, so the building was not yet handed over then.

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 6 Oct 2026 to 24 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (drivenproperties.com, dxboffplan.com, greencityre.com, live adverts: community guide, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 27 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, a licensed photo.
