| What exists today | The residential phases are handed over and lived in: Uptown Motor City, Green Community Motor City and the apartment buildings around them, roughly 16,000 homes in total with several hundred villas among them. Last verified 10 September 2026 | Ranches 1 and 2 are complete and have been lived in for a decade or two; Ranches 3 is mostly handed over with the final phases completing. Last verified 29 August 2026 | The community is home to a large resident population and most of it is built: hundreds of mid-rise buildings, the townhouse clusters, Circle Mall (open since 2021), pocket parks and a supermarket in most blocks.

| The OAC18 view | A finished, walkable family community at a price the finished parts of the coast do not offer. | Buy Arabian Ranches for the street and the schools. Budget for the house. | Buy JVC for realised yield, building by building. Never buy it on the district average. |
