Ghaff Land Residence: Studios to Duplexes in Dubai Studio City
Arabian Gulf Properties launched Ghaff Land Residence in Dubai Studio City in January 2024. Construction is underway, with handover targeted for July 2026. The project covers studios, one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom duplexes, backed by a payment plan that carries half the purchase price to after handover.
Dubai Studio City: What the Location Means in Practice
Dubai Studio City sits along the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road corridor, with Al Khail Road accessible to the east. That dual highway access puts Downtown Dubai around 25 minutes by car and Dubai Marina around 20 minutes. Dubai Sports City and Motor City are the immediate neighbours. Dubai International Airport is roughly 35 to 40 minutes on a clear run.
The district is a free zone built around media and entertainment businesses. Living here puts residents close to that cluster while retaining good access to the main Dubai employment corridors. For buyers evaluating price-to-access, Studio City offers a mid-range entry point into a well-connected part of the city.
From AED 590K to AED 2.08M: What the Spread Means
The price range spans nearly four times from entry to top, and each tier represents a genuinely different product.
Studios start at AED 590,000, with sizes from 453 to 701 sq ft. This is the entry point for investors or first-time buyers focused on minimising upfront cost.
One-bedroom apartments start at AED 890,000, with floor areas from 760 to 1,361 sq ft. The size variation at the same starting price is notable. The 760 sq ft layout suits a single professional; the larger formats at 1,281 to 1,361 sq ft are more comfortable for a couple.
Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,108,530, with layouts from 973 to 2,265 sq ft. That is an unusually wide range. The smallest two-bedroom at 973 sq ft is more compact than several of the larger one-bedroom units, so floor area matters as much as bedroom count when comparing within this tier.
Two-bedroom duplexes start at AED 2,086,509, at 2,012 sq ft. The duplex format separates living and sleeping zones across two levels, which distinguishes it from the stacked apartment layouts in the rest of the building.
The Amenity Package
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Infinity Pool, Gymnasium |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Four amenities is a focused set. The infinity pool and gymnasium address the core residential expectations. The children's play area indicates the project anticipates families among its residents, not only singles and investors. CCTV security covers the baseline. This is a functional package appropriate for a mid-range project, not a resort-style offering. Buyers who prioritise an extensive facility list will find this on the leaner side.
Mid-Build with July 2026 Delivery
Construction began in January 2024. Handover is expected July 2026, roughly 14 months from now. The project is past its earliest stage, which means an off-plan buyer entering now has a shorter wait than at launch and more visibility on construction progress. For investors, a mid-2026 delivery opens the door to rental income before the year ends.
Getting In at 20% Down, Half the Price Paid Post-Handover
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 20% |
| At handover | 10% |
| Post-handover | 50% |
The 20% down payment is standard for off-plan launches in Dubai. The standout is the 50% post-handover component. A buyer pays 40% before receiving the keys (20% at signing, 20% during construction) and 10% at handover, with the remaining half coming after the property is delivered.
For an investor, rental income can flow in while post-handover instalments continue. For an owner-occupier, the structure distributes the financial commitment well past the point of taking possession. Against a fully front-loaded plan, this meaningfully reduces cash pressure during the build period and lowers the barrier to entry for buyers managing commitments across multiple obligations.
