Al Haseen Residences 6

48 units per floor and nearly 2,000 sqm of retail: Dugasta adds density to Saih Shuaib 2

The technical file for Al Haseen Residences 6 lists a total built-up area of 36,052 sqm on a plot of just 6,447 sqm. That ratio sets the tone for the whole scheme: a mixed-use building, retail below and homes above, that covers nearly the entire footprint of the land. Dugasta continues its Al Haseen series here, in the Saih Shuaib 2 sector of Dubai Industrial City, with a G+1P+6+R layout and a total height of 29.70 metres. The floor plans show 48 units per level, mostly studios and one-bedroom apartments. The developer is currently collecting expressions of interest (EOI of AED 5,000), though the official launch date has not been set yet. Handover is scheduled for 30 June 2028.

1,960 sqm of retail space on the ground floor

The ground floor holds almost no residential units at all. Of its 6,447 sqm built-up area, 1,960 sqm is set aside for retail (roughly 21,100 square feet), while more than 4,180 sqm goes to back-of-house services and parking. The permit allows for 315 parking spaces, exactly matching the regulatory requirement. This retail base matters in a district like Dubai Industrial City, where local shops and services tend to disappear once the working day ends. For residents, it means a coffee shop, a small supermarket or a restaurant within walking distance. For the developer, this retail component adds value to a plot where the proposed gross floor area (19,600 sqm) sits close to the maximum allowed of 19,614 sqm.

A 72-metre block across six residential floors

The building runs about 72 metres along its main facade, with a 6,426 sqm podium and typical floors of roughly 3,670 sqm each. Circulation spaces are a bit more generous than usual for this segment: 1.80-metre-wide corridors and a 2.40-metre elevator lobby served by at least four lifts. The exterior envelope relies on hollow concrete blocks with thermal insulation of 200 and 250 mm, a detail that matters in Dubai's climate when it comes to cooling costs. Nearly every unit opens onto a balcony, separated from the neighbouring one by a 1.80-metre partition wall. Design work has been handled by EDMAC Engineering Consultant, based in Dubai and Fujairah. The renders show strong horizontal lines and wide glazing, without any particular architectural gesture.

Studios and one-bedroom units dominate every floor

The two floor plans included in the brochure differ slightly from one another. On the first level, there are 24 studios, 19 one-bedroom units and 5 two-bedroom units. On the fourth level, the mix shifts to 18 studios, 24 one-bedroom units and 6 two-bedroom units. There are no three-bedroom units anywhere in the program. The one-bedroom units come with a storage room and a guest bathroom, and the two-bedroom units add a study, a useful space for anyone working from home. Based on roughly 48 units per floor, the building should end up with more than 280 apartments in total. This mix is clearly aimed at workers employed in the nearby logistics and industrial zones, as well as investors looking for a low entry price for long-term rentals.

A 200-metre running track on the podium

The podium plan gives more away than the amenities list does. A running track, 2 metres wide and 200 metres long, wraps around the podium deck, which is unusual for a building of this size. Around the main pool, there are sunken loungers, a pool bar, a lowered seating area and a children's pool. Rain-effect fountains, an outdoor gym, a meditation space and a barbecue area round out the offering. One other detail worth noting: some first-floor units sitting directly on the podium level come with a private terrace and plunge pool. These units have few equivalents in the area and are arguably the most distinctive product in the whole project.

Preliminary design stage, launch date still pending

The plans released carry the label "preliminary design submission," meaning the first stage of filing with the municipality. The title block also notes that road, drainage and civil defense approvals have not been obtained yet. The June 2028 handover date leaves roughly three years for construction once permits are issued. That timeline is workable for a six-storey building, but buyers should keep an eye on the schedule as it develops. The AED 5,000 EOI secures a spot in the queue before the price list comes out. In practice, early registrants will get first pick of the first-floor units with terraces and the limited number of two-bedroom units.
