Al Hebiah First: Sierra's plot in Motor City
Sierra is in Motor City, on a 49,489 square metre plot that the Dubai Land Department registers in Al Hebiah First. At the unveiling, Iman pointed to the project's access to major highways, schools, shops and business districts.
In the 12 months to September 2026 the DLD recorded 4,086 property sales there, 78.9% of them off-plan, while 1,975 Ejari rent contracts were registered in the community over the last 12 months of data. Sierra's 527 sales in those 12 months were the third highest of any project in Motor City, by NAHY's count of DLD transactions.
Wellbeing by Design: terraces, pools and 75,000 sq ft of shared space
Iman built the Sierra brief around a concept it calls Wellbeing by Design. Its chief executive, Ismail Marfani, described the aim as supporting how residents live, rest and connect (Gulf News GN Focus, 17 September 2025). What the developer announced:
- Architecture: a sculptural form with layered facades and cascading terraces, in a natural, earthy palette of materials
- Homes: studios and one, two and four bedroom apartments with open-plan living areas; select units have private outdoor space on the terraces
- Shared space: 75,000 sq ft of wellness and social amenities
- Amenities: a fitness centre, yoga spaces, several swimming pools, landscaped areas, a residents' lounge, family zones and entertainment spaces
- Retail: 5 retail units within the project

593 homes and five shops: Sierra's register entry
| Item | DLD project register | IMAN Developers |
|---|---|---|
| Units | 598 | 593 apartments and 5 retail units |
| Registered or unveiled | Registered 7 October 2025 | Unveiled 17 September 2025 |
| Construction start | 1 November 2025 | Not stated |
| Progress | 3.7% at the inspection of 10 August 2026 | Not stated |
| Handover | 30 June 2029 | Not stated at launch |
| Escrow agent | Dubai Islamic Bank | Not stated |
The unit count is the same in both sources. Iman did not give a completion date when it unveiled Sierra, so the date to plan around is 30 June 2029, the one declared to the DLD. With the building at 3.7% in August 2026, NAHY reads each new DLD inspection before advising on that date.
Fifty-six units without a registered sale: what NAHY asks Iman
Sierra's sales reached the register later than its launch. Iman unveiled the project in September 2025, but the strongest months came in early 2026:
| Month | Sales registered with the DLD |
|---|---|
| November 2025 to January 2026 | 42 |
| February 2026 | 167 |
| March 2026 | 148 |
| April 2026 | 82 |
| May and June 2026 | 38 |
| July 2026 | 24 |
| August 2026 | 17 |
| September 2026 | 9 |
| October 2026, to the 29th | 15 |
That leaves 542 registered sales against 598 units, a gap of 56. Read that number with care: a resale of an off-plan contract is counted as a sale, and new reservations take time to reach the register. NAHY has not seen a dated statement from Iman on remaining stock, so before you decide it checks three things:
- Iman's own list. NAHY asks Iman whether any studios or one, two and four bedroom apartments are still open, and which have a private terrace.
- Resale contracts. Buyers from the February and March 2026 wave can sell with Iman's no objection certificate; NAHY checks the amount paid and the Oqood.
- The escrow account. Payments to Iman go to the project escrow account at Dubai Islamic Bank.
The price list, the payment plan and the floor plans go out on WhatsApp once the units are confirmed.
