Celia Gardens

Celia Gardens is a 23-unit residential building by Abou Eid, located in Nad Al Sheba 1 within the broader Meydan district, offering one- and two-bedroom semi-furnished apartments priced from AED 1.72 million to AED 3.06 million, with completion scheduled for Q4 2026.

# The building and its position in Nad Al Sheba 1

A single low-density building on a plot within Nad Al Sheba 1, Celia Gardens sits in one of Dubai's quieter residential sub-districts, away from the commercial density of Downtown but close enough to reach it. The neighbourhood is characterised by wide roads, villa-scale plots, and a measured pace that distinguishes it from the higher-density corridors further north along Al Khail Road.

With only 23 units across the building, the project is small by Dubai standards. That figure matters. A low unit count typically translates to a quieter shared environment and a more manageable service charge structure; the quoted figure here is 15 AED per square foot annually. Construction is currently 57.6 per cent complete, with handover expected in the final quarter of 2026.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The floor-plate splits into two configurations: one-bedroom apartments ranging from 789 to 863 sq ft, and two-bedroom apartments running from approximately 1,368 to 1,485 sq ft. The spread within each bedroom type is narrow, which suggests limited variation in layout rather than a tiered range of unit classes.

Pricing for one-bedroom units sits between AED 1.66 million and AED 1.86 million depending on floor and aspect. Two-bedroom apartments range from AED 2.79 million to AED 3.06 million.

All residences are delivered semi-furnished. Kitchens are equipped. The developer's brief points to open-plan layouts and panoramic windows designed to draw in natural light, though buyers should review the specific floor plan for their unit to confirm orientation and outlook.

# Amenities across the building

The amenity list for a 23-unit building is notably broad. On the recreational side, residents have access to adult and children's swimming pools, a padel court, both indoor and outdoor gyms, a jogging track, and an outdoor cinema. Wellness provision covers a sauna, steam room, and a dedicated yoga room.

For families, there are indoor and outdoor children's play areas. An entertainment lounge and café, a business centre, and a BBQ area complete the offering. The density of amenity relative to the unit count means each facility will be used by a small resident base, which is a practical advantage.

# Connections and surrounding infrastructure

Nad Al Sheba 1 places residents within a few kilometres of the Meydan corridor and its associated retail, dining, and leisure infrastructure. Meydan Heights Park is 1.5 km from the building. Kinder Castle Nursery Meydan sits at 1.4 km, relevant for families with young children.

Downtown Dubai is 12.7 km away, a drive of roughly 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions on Al Khail Road. Dubai International Airport is approximately 21.9 km, and Jumeirah Beach 12.4 km. Al Khail Mall is the closest major retail destination at 8.2 km. The area is car-dependent; proximity to Al Khail Road is the key access variable.

# Who Celia Gardens suits, and where it sits in the market

The project occupies a distinct position: a boutique, low-density residential building in a sub-district that attracts buyers seeking separation from Dubai's denser urban zones without sacrificing city access. The price range, AED 1.72 million to AED 3.06 million, places it at the more accessible end of Meydan-adjacent stock without entering the budget tier.

For international buyers, particularly those from the GCC and Europe who prioritise neighbourhood character over tower-living, the combination of sub-1,500 sq ft two-bedroom layouts at circa AED 2 per sq ft and a credible amenity set offers a coherent argument. The semi-furnished specification reduces fit-out friction for those purchasing as a primary residence or a long-hold rental asset. With construction past the halfway mark and a Q4 2026 target, the delivery risk is comparatively contained at this stage.
