Celia Residence: Studios to Two-Bedrooms in Dubai Studio City from AED 432,800
Celia Residence is a residential apartment project by Abou Eid Real Estate Development, located in Dubai Studio City. The building covers studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, with a price range from AED 432,800 to AED 1,146,632. The expected completion was September 2024. That date is now approximately 21 months in the past, and the project has most likely been handed over.
Studio City: What the Location Offers
Studio City sits in the southwestern part of Dubai, roughly 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai and around 25 minutes from Dubai Marina by car in normal traffic. The district borders Motor City, Dubai Sports City, and Arjan. Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road are the main arterial connections, giving residents reliable car access to the wider city network.
The area has a low-density, suburban character. Adjacent Motor City provides the nearest concentration of retail and dining options. Dubai International Airport is approximately 30 to 35 minutes away by road. The community is quieter than more densely built corridors closer to the coast or the city center, which suits buyers who prioritize space and road access over proximity to urban amenities.
What Each Price Level Buys
The range from AED 432,800 to AED 1,146,632 covers three distinct unit types, each suited to a different buyer.
Studios start at AED 432,800 across eight layout options, with floor areas from 354 to 438 square feet. At 354 sq ft the smallest studio is a compact single-room unit. At 438 sq ft, there is meaningfully more livable area at the same opening price. The studio tier is the lowest entry point into this project and suits single occupants or investors targeting smaller rental units.
One-bedroom apartments start at AED 856,443 across nine layouts, ranging from 609 to 835 square feet. A 226 sq ft range within a single price tier is significant. At 609 sq ft the layout is compact; at 835 sq ft, it gives considerably more room for a home office, storage, or general comfort. The same starting price covers both, so the choice depends on how much space matters relative to other layout factors.
Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,146,632 in two layouts: 1,041 square feet (Type B) and 1,251 square feet (Type A). The size difference between the two options is 210 sq ft, a meaningful increment for a household fitting a second bedroom alongside a proper living area. At just over AED 1.1 million for more than 1,000 sq ft, this is a mid-market Studio City proposition.
Eight Amenities Across Three Categories
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Yoga room, Health Club, Shared Gym |
| Leisure | Cinema, Golf Club and Clubhouse |
| Community | Shared Pool, Children's Play Area, Barbecue Area |
The Golf Club and Clubhouse is the standout item. A dedicated social and recreational club adds a layer of social infrastructure that goes well beyond the standard gym-and-pool combination.
The rest of the amenity list covers the core categories. Wellness is spread across three distinct facilities. The cinema and clubhouse provide indoor social space. The pool, play area, and barbecue zone round out the outdoor and family-oriented offer. The combination points to a project intended for a mixed resident profile: active professionals, social renters, and families with children.
Completion Date Has Passed
Construction started in April 2024, with an expected completion of September 2024. That date is approximately 21 months ago. The project has most likely been handed over.
Getting In at 10% Down
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 80% |
| At handover | 10% |
The 10% down payment is the entry cost. On the studio starting price of AED 432,800, that is roughly AED 43,280 upfront. On the two-bedroom entry price of AED 1,146,632, the down payment comes to approximately AED 114,663. The 80% construction-phase installment covers the bulk of the purchase, paid before handover. The final 10% is due at handover. There is no post-handover payment plan.
