Celesto Tower

Celesto Tower is a 23-unit residential building by Tarrad Development, located in Dubailand Residence Complex and scheduled for completion in Q2 2028. The project comprises fully furnished studios and one-bedroom apartments, currently under construction and available for purchase.

# The building and its position in Dubailand Residence Complex

Dubailand Residence Complex sits in the eastern corridor of Dubai, a district that has grown steadily as an alternative to the denser, higher-priced precincts closer to the coast. It is neither a downtown address nor a suburban afterthought: the area offers ground-level scale, a lower-rise character, and proximity to green space that more central neighbourhoods traded away years ago.

Celesto Tower is a single building. With only 23 residences, it is a boutique scheme by any measure, and that scale carries implications for both community feel and resale liquidity. The development draws on an architectural language that prioritises natural light and open planning, with Italian finishes specified throughout.

Construction has only recently begun, with the readiness clock at zero and a delivery date set for the second quarter of 2028.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The apartment mix runs from studios to one-bedroom units, with sizes spanning roughly 387 sq ft at the compact end to 837 sq ft for the larger one-bedroom configurations. That spread gives buyers a meaningful choice between an entry-level holding and a more generously proportioned home.

All units are delivered fully furnished and include fitted kitchens with appliances. The developer specifies Italian finishing materials, which at this price point is a meaningful differentiator from projects that lean on generic specification packages.

Pricing runs from around AED 607,000 for the smallest studio to AED 1.21 million for the top one-bedroom unit. The service charge is set at AED 13 per sq ft annually.

# A note on the one-bedroom range

The one-bedroom tier shows considerable internal variety. Sizes range from 680 sq ft to 821 sq ft, and pricing across these units moves from approximately AED 901,000 to AED 1.21 million. Buyers comparing units should look carefully at floor level and orientation, as the per-square-foot figures vary noticeably across the range.

# Amenities on site

The building's facilities list is compact but covers the practical essentials. There is an adult swimming pool, a separate kids' pool, a gym, a jacuzzi and sauna, and dedicated outdoor yoga space. Families gain further use from a children's play area, an outdoor playground, and a BBQ area.

None of these are particularly unusual in a Dubai residential scheme, but the boutique scale means shared facilities are unlikely to see the pressure that larger towers routinely face.

# Location: proximity to schools, parks and arterial routes

The building's most immediately useful neighbour is Dubailand Public Park, 400 metres away. For families evaluating schooling options, GEMS FirstPoint School sits 1.1 km from the project.

Silicon Central Mall is 4.1 km out, providing the closest major retail anchor. Downtown Dubai is 18.4 km away, and Dubai International Airport is 22.4 km, distances that place Celesto Tower firmly in the mid-city band rather than the urban core. Mercato Beach, at 23.9 km, represents the nearest coastal leisure option.

The location suits residents who prioritise space and value per square foot over proximity to the marina or the boulevard.

# Who this project suits, and where it sits in the current market

At under AED 1.5 million for the largest unit, Celesto Tower occupies the accessible segment of Dubai's residential market, a bracket that has attracted sustained interest from mid-tier investors and end-users priced out of Palm Jumeirah or Downtown. The fully furnished delivery lowers the friction of a buy-to-let strategy, particularly for overseas buyers who cannot easily manage a fit-out from abroad.

The 23-unit building appeals to buyers who want limited owner exposure and a clear community character rather than the anonymity of a tower with hundreds of apartments. The trade-off is liquidity: a smaller building has a thinner resale pool, which matters for buyers with a defined exit horizon.

For long-term holders and young families relocating to Dubai, the combination of school proximity, green space, and competitive pricing makes the calculus relatively straightforward. Investors focused on short-term yield compression or high-profile address value will find better arguments elsewhere.
