Windsor Residence is a two-tower complex developed by Bloom Developments, with handover in 2011. The two towers (Windsor 1 and Windsor 2) sit on adjacent plots in the central section of Dubai Residence Complex with views over the central park-and-pool spine.

Pricing and yields: One-beds AED 620,000 to 780,000 (median AED 680,000), two-beds AED 950,000 to 1,250,000 (median AED 1,080,000), three-beds AED 1,400,000 to 1,800,000 (median AED 1,580,000). Median 2025 price AED 920 per sqft. Yields: one-bed 7.4%, two-bed 6.8%, three-bed 6.2%.

Service charges and parking: AED 12 per sqft service charge. One parking space per unit (two for three-beds and townhouse units only). Total fees on a 1,000 sqft two-bed run AED 12,000 per year on tower service charge plus AED 2,800 master community fee.

Tenant profile: Strongly family-anchored. Per Oliva tenancy data, 58% of Windsor Residence tenancies are families with children (vs DRC average 42%). Median tenancy length is 26 months. Default rate 1.4%. Employer-paid mix 12%.

2025 transactions: 180 secondary trades, ranking it the second-most-traded building in Dubai Residence Complex after Indigo Tower.

Investor profile fit: Family-tenant prioritisation. Mid-yield with high stability. Investors with AED 700,000 to AED 1,500,000 budget seeking 24+ month tenancies. The 26-month median tenancy and 71% renewal rate make Windsor Residence the highest-stability building in the district.

Indigo Tower is a single high-rise developed by Diamond Developers, with handover in 2012. The 32-floor tower sits in the eastern section of Dubai Residence Complex with views over the master community internal courtyards.

Pricing and yields: Studios AED 380,000 to 480,000 (median AED 420,000), one-beds AED 580,000 to 720,000 (median AED 640,000), two-beds AED 880,000 to 1,150,000 (median AED 1,000,000). Median 2025 price AED 880 per sqft. Yields: studio 8.4%, one-bed 7.6%, two-bed 6.8%.

Service charges and parking: AED 11 per sqft service charge. One parking space per unit. Total fees on a 1,000 sqft two-bed run AED 11,000 per year on tower service charge plus AED 2,800 master community fee.

Tenant profile: Diversified mid-income. Per Oliva tenancy data, 38% dual-income couples, 28% small families, 18% Silicon Oasis and Dubailand workers, 12% Sharjah commuters, 4% single workers. Median tenancy length is 20 months. Default rate 1.7%. Employer-paid mix 14%.

2025 transactions: 240 secondary trades, the most-traded building in Dubai Residence Complex.

Investor profile fit: Yield-led entry with deepest secondary market in the district. Investors with AED 380,000 to AED 1,150,000 budget seeking 7.6% to 8.4% gross yields and faster turnover. The 240 transactions in 2025 means tighter bid-ask spreads and faster median listing-to-sale (118 days versus DRC average 124 days).

Pick Windsor Residence if: Family-tenant target. Long-tenancy stability priority. AED 700,000 to AED 1,500,000 budget. Two-bed or three-bed unit. Comfortable with slower 132-day listing-to-sale exit.

Pick Indigo Tower if: Yield-led entry. Studio or one-bed product. AED 380,000 to AED 1,150,000 budget. Need fastest exit infrastructure (118-day listing-to-sale). Diversified mid-income tenant target.

Pick both if: AED 1.5 million+ deployable across two units. AED 600,000 to 700,000 on an Indigo Tower one-bed for yield rotation. AED 950,000 to 1,200,000 on a Windsor Residence two-bed for family-tenant stability. The two together produce a balanced two-unit Dubai Residence Complex portfolio.

Both buildings are 2011-2012 vintage and have approached the typical 12 to 15 year cycle for major mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) refurbishments. Pull two years of master community AGM minutes to identify any planned special assessments or refurbishment levies.

Parking allocation is one per unit in both buildings regardless of bedroom count. Two-bed units with single parking face rental ceiling compression of AED 6,000 to AED 9,000 per year. Confirm with the master community whether tandem or visitor parking can supplement.

Cooling arrangements differ between buildings. Confirm whether the tower uses district cooling with separate billing or central tower cooling included in service charge. Indigo Tower uses Help district cooling; Windsor Residence uses central tower cooling.

Tenant mix shifts over time. Pull two years of tenancy renewal data and tenant employer mix from the property manager. The historical 58% family share at Windsor Residence and 38% dual-income share at Indigo Tower should track within 4 to 8 percentage points. Significant deviation flags a building management or amenity shift.

Master community fee is charged separately by Dubai Properties at AED 2.80 per sqft per year on top of the tower service charge. Confirm both fee streams are current with no outstanding balance before closing.
