The Terraces, Mohammed Bin Rashid City: Building Information, Amenities, and Investment Potential

Let us tell you why apartments in The Terraces are different.

This isn’t your typical Dubai high-rise. It’s a pair of 10-story towers in Sobha Hartland, Meydan, that offers something refreshing – a choice between two different design styles. You can pick either “Urban London” with its industrial edge or “Modern Minimalistic” for a cleaner look.

Built by Bolton Real Estate, The Terraces sits just 7 minutes from Downtown Dubai, giving you that sweet spot of being close to everything without the Downtown prices or traffic. The buildings aren’t trying to be the tallest or flashiest. Instead, they focus on comfortable homes with smart features that actually make your life easier.

 

Where Is The Terraces Located in Dubai?

The Terraces is located in Sobha Hartland, Meydan. Getting around from Terraces is super easy.

It’s:

  • 7 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa
  • 15 minutes to Dubai Airport
  • 5 minutes to Meydan Racecourse
  • 15 minutes to Dubai Healthcare City
  • 20 minutes to La Mer Beach

If you’re staying at an Airbnb in The Terraces, and you want to get around–you’ll mostly drive or use taxis, as public transport isn’t the area’s strong point. But the good news is you’re connected to main roads that get you places without massive detours. And trust us, being just 7 minutes from Downtown while avoiding its traffic jams is a huge plus in daily Dubai life.

 

What Apartment Design Options are Available at The Terraces?

Here’s the sweet part about The Terraces in Sobha Hartland – you get to pick between 2 major apartment styles:

1. Urban London Style: This option gives you exposed brick walls, concrete flooring, and an industrial loft vibe. It’s bold and distinctive – not something you find in most Dubai apartments. If you love character and texture in your space, this style stands out.

2. Modern Minimalistic: If you prefer clean lines and bright, open spaces, this is your pick. It has light colors, simple designs, and a more serene feel. It’s perfect if you want a calm backdrop for your own furnishings.

Both styles come with high-quality European materials. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in tons of natural light, and select units have private garden terraces where you can actually sit and enjoy coffee, not just crowd a plant or two.

Since we manage a couple of apartments at The Terraces, a major thing we like about these apartments is how practical they are. Bedrooms easily fit king-sized beds with side tables. Living rooms accommodate proper seating arrangements. Kitchens have enough counter space to actually cook. These sound like basic things, but you’d be surprised how many new Dubai apartments fall short on these fundamentals.

If you’re buying as an investment, here’s what matters:
