The Chedi Private Residences: Large-Format Villas in Barsha Heights, Handover February 2029
Al Seeb Real Estate Development is delivering a small collection of villas and penthouses in Barsha Heights (Tecom), one of Dubai's most connected mid-city districts. Construction broke ground in March 2025 and handover is targeted for February 2029.
Barsha Heights and What the Address Actually Means
Barsha Heights sits between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, roughly equidistant between Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai. The Tecom cluster is home to media, technology, and professional services firms, which draws a working professional demographic to the area. Commutes to Media City or Internet City take a few minutes. Downtown is typically 15 to 20 minutes by car, and the airport is under 30 minutes via the Emirates Road corridor.
Freestanding villas in Barsha Heights are uncommon. Most of the district is low-to-mid rise apartments. That scarcity gives The Chedi Private Residences a differentiated profile for the area, which matters for buyers thinking about resale or rental liquidity over a longer horizon.
Getting In for 10 Percent
The entry cost here is low relative to what you are buying. A 10% down payment secures your unit. The payment schedule then plays out as follows:
| Phase | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 45% |
| At handover | 10% |
| Post-handover | 35% |
The 35% post-handover tranche is a meaningful structural advantage. The largest single cash event comes after the keys are in your hand, which means you can deploy rental income toward that final payment or plan a financing event against a completed asset. For buyers who are capital-constrained during construction, the back-loaded structure reduces pressure on the construction period significantly.
What AED 10.2 Million to AED 69.2 Million Covers
The price spread here is wide and it maps directly to unit size and configuration.
2-bedroom villas anchor the low end at AED 10,237,986, with floorplates of 3,556 sq ft. These are large homes by any measure, but the most compact option in this project. 3-bedroom villas step up to AED 11,565,925 at around 5,688 sq ft.
The 4-bedroom villa sits at AED 22,954,265 with 7,404 sq ft. At this price point the buyer is trading central location for genuine scale: a 7,400 sq ft home in Barsha Heights is an unusual combination.
At the top end, 5-bedroom duplex villas are priced at AED 69,241,868, spanning 13,065 to 18,772 sq ft depending on configuration. These are estate-scale residences. The project also includes duplex and triplex penthouses with 6 and 8 bedrooms, ranging from 23,588 to 33,245 sq ft.
The jump from the 3-bed to the 4-bed price point (roughly AED 11.6M to AED 23M) is significant. The 4-bed buyer is not just getting more space; they are crossing into a different market segment entirely.
Amenities: What the Setup Tells You About the Target Resident
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Lifestyle | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV |
Two items stand out. The indoor swimming pool is uncommon in this segment. Most projects default to outdoor pools, which limits year-round use in Dubai's summer months. An indoor pool signals the developer is building for residents who want consistent daily use, not seasonal feature ticking.
The on-site restaurant is even less common in a villa project of this scale. It positions the development as a self-contained residential environment. Combined with the children's play area and landscaped gardens, the amenity set reads as a family-oriented project. The gym-and-pool combination also suits couples and remote-working professionals who want convenience without leaving the building.
Four Years to Handover: What That Means for an Off-Plan Buyer
Construction started in March 2025. The target completion is February 2029, giving a build period of approximately 4 years. For a buyer entering now, roughly 3 years of that window remain.
The long off-plan horizon works in the buyer's favour given the payment structure. The 45% construction-period contribution spreads over that 3-year runway in manageable periodic payments, and the 35% post-handover amount defers the largest cash commitment until the project is complete.
