Dubai Production City (IMPZ) – Residential Freehold Building [G + P + 8] Plot

General Information

Dubai Production City, originally known as the International Media Production Zone (IMPZ), is a freehold, free-zone mixed-use community established in 2003 by TECOM Group. Its vision was to create a dedicated ecosystem for media production, publishing, printing, packaging, and related creative industries—providing state-of-the-art infrastructure and a business-friendly environment. Covering about 43 million square feet in area, DPC integrates residential, commercial, industrial, and creative business zones to serve both companies and residents. Over time it has evolved beyond strictly industrial/media production, to include mid-rise apartments, retail centers, everyday amenities, and lifestyle facilities to support a full-day living environment.

Location Overview

Dubai Production City is located in Me’aisem 1, along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), one of Dubai’s main highways. It lies adjacent to communities like Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai Sports City, and Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT), offering relatively good access to many parts of the city. In terms of travel times, it takes about 20-25 minutes by car to reach major hubs such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, JBR, and Dubai International Airport under normal traffic conditions. The community is also bounded by two major roads (E311 and E44), which helps with connectivity.

Community Advantages

1. Media-Industry Anchor & Free-Zone Advantages: DPC is purposefully built to support media, production, publishing, and packaging companies. It offers free-zone benefits such as 100% foreign ownership, zero corporate and personal taxes (within the regulatory framework), and full repatriation of profits. These features make it attractive for international creative businesses and startups.


2. Affordable Entry & High Yield Potential: Compared to many other communities closer to Dubai’s core, apartments in DPC tend to have lower purchase and rental prices. This affordability translates into attractive rental yields—often cited in the 8−9% range in recent reports—making it a favorable area for property investors.


3. Balanced Mixed-Use Community: What sets DPC apart is the blend: it’s not just industrial or commercial. It offers residential buildings (studios to larger units), retail outlets, supermarkets, dining, schools, and healthcare within or near the community. That improves livability and means many daily needs are met close-by.


4. Lifestyle & Amenity Provision: There are several leisure options: City Centre Me’aisem is the key mall in/near DPC, offering retail, dining, family entertainment (e.g. Magic Planet), grocery services, and other amenities. There are parks, jogging paths, gyms, etc. for residents.


5. Strategic Road Connectivity & Future Growth Prospects: With its frontage on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and proximity to E44 (Al Khail Road), DPC enjoys decent road access. In addition, future infrastructure plans like more public transport links (e.g. feeder bus services, potential nearby improvements) and expansion of amenities suggest that the area will continue to evolve.


6. Community Feel & Environment: Even though it’s on the outskirts, DPC offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere compared to very dense urban zones. Green pockets, landscaped roads, parks, and a well-planned layout make living here more pleasant, especially for families or people wanting a balance between work/life.


7. Investment Potential IMPZ’s enduring popularity and growth trajectory contribute to its investment potential. The community’s ongoing development, coupled with its family-friendly environment, make it an attractive option for individuals seeking to invest in residential properties.
