Arya Residences

Arya Residences is a furnished boutique apartment building developed by Citi Developers on Dubai Islands, the five-island coastal district north of Deira, with completion scheduled for Q4 2027.

# The Building and Its Position on Dubai Islands

Thirteen residences across a single building. That degree of exclusivity is unusual even by the standards of Dubai's smaller developments, and it shapes everything about how Arya Residences functions: shared amenities serve a private-house-sized community rather than a conventional high-rise population.

Dubai Islands sits off the Deira shoreline, connected to the mainland by road infrastructure that keeps it accessible without dissolving the sense of separation from the city. The district has drawn developer attention partly because of its waterfront positioning and partly because the surrounding area, historically anchored by Deira's commerce and Gold Souk culture, carries a different character to the Marina corridor or Downtown. Arya's location within that context places it 8.9 km from Dubai International Airport and roughly 20 km from Downtown Dubai.

Construction is underway, with the project at an early stage as of current records.

# Residences: Layouts, Scale and Finish

The 13 units span one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations. One-bedroom apartments range from approximately 935 to 1,116 sq ft, which is generous for the type and reflects an interior planning philosophy that prioritises liveable proportions over unit count. Two-bedroom apartments reach between roughly 1,413 and 1,452 sq ft; the three-bedroom units extend to approximately 1,684 sq ft.

All residences are delivered fully furnished.

Pricing across the available data sits between AED 2.6 million and approximately AED 4.3 million depending on configuration, with two-bedroom units from around AED 3.9 million. The service charge is set at AED 19 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities: Resort Infrastructure at a Private Scale

The amenity programme is substantially larger than the unit count might suggest. An infinity pool with private cabanas anchors the offering, alongside a rooftop sunken bar. Wellness provision runs to dedicated Roman bath suites, private spa suites with massage rooms, and sauna, steam and recovery lounges. An outdoor yoga deck and a fitness pavilion address daily training needs.

Social spaces include al fresco lounges, a cigar lounge, an executive business lounge, an immersive private cinema and an interactive game zone. The range covers most use cases a buyer might otherwise seek off-site, which carries practical weight on an island address where proximity to high-street amenities is more limited than in central Dubai.

# Location: Island Address, Mainland Connections

Dubai Islands beach sits 3.6 km from the building. One Deira Mall is approximately 6 km away, providing retail access without requiring a drive into central Dubai. Dubai International Airport, at 8.9 km, is the distance metric that tends to matter most to frequent-travelling international buyers, and here the figure compares favourably with most of the city's western corridors.

Naif Park, at 6.3 km, reflects the broader Deira neighbourhood fabric that surrounds the islands on the mainland side. Downtown Dubai is a 20-km drive, positioning Arya squarely as an island address rather than a city-centre one.

# Thirteen Residences: Who This Building Suits

A project of 13 units does not suit every buyer profile. It suits one type rather specifically: the buyer who values a genuine low-density environment, furnished delivery with no procurement process, and a comprehensive amenity stack maintained across a small resident group. The service charge of AED 19 per sq ft reflects that provision and should be modelled accordingly in any yield or running-cost calculation.

For international buyers treating the purchase as a pied-à-terre with airport proximity, the Dubai Islands address makes logistical sense. For those prioritising walkability to Dubai's established restaurant and retail concentrations, the location requires honest assessment. The building is currently sold out, making it a reference point for buyers tracking resale availability or comparable launches in the district.
