Arancia Yards by Beyond: Apartments and Townhouses in City of Arabia
City of Arabia sits in Dubai's interior, roughly 20 to 25 minutes from Downtown by car via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. It is a large-scale mixed-use district that has been developing for over a decade. Arancia Yards is one of the newer additions to this neighbourhood, brought to market by Beyond.
The project offers a mix of apartments and townhouses. That dual-product approach widens the buyer pool. Apartment buyers generally want lower entry costs and minimal maintenance responsibilities. Townhouse buyers want the space, the separate floors, and a private entry. Arancia Yards covers both.
City of Arabia: What It Means to Live or Invest Here
City of Arabia is inland Dubai, without waterfront access or proximity to a major commercial hub. What it offers is strong road connectivity via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, which links to Business Bay, DIFC, and most of the city's major employment centres. Commute times to those areas typically run 25 to 35 minutes outside peak hours.
The neighbourhood is home to Mall of Arabia, one of Dubai's largest retail developments, and IMG Worlds of Adventure. Car ownership is essentially mandatory in this part of the city. For families, the district delivers the space-per-dirham equation that inner-city Dubai cannot match. For investors, it represents a mid-market residential play in a district that continues to grow.
What AED 1.1 Million Gets You
Arancia Yards is priced at AED 1,100,000. Given the project spans both apartments and townhouses, this figure most likely represents the entry point for the smaller apartment units. Townhouse buyers will generally pay more for the additional square footage and the private-entry layout.
At this price, the project sits in the accessible mid-market band for Dubai. It draws both end-users who want a practical family base and investors targeting the rental demand that has grown alongside this district's residential population.
The Unit Mix: Studios to Three-Bedroom Townhouses
The project spans studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments, alongside three-bedroom townhouses. Studios and one-beds appeal to single professionals or investors focused on yield. Two-beds fit couples or small families. Three-bed apartments and townhouses target families who need room to spread out.
The three-bedroom townhouse is a distinct proposition. It gives families a private front door, a ground floor, and a separate upper level. That physical separation is something an apartment cannot replicate, and it commands a different buyer.
Facilities at Arancia Yards
| Category | Amenities |

| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Convenience | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
The indoor pool stands out. Dubai's summer heat runs from May through September, and an outdoor pool becomes unusable for long stretches. An indoor pool removes that seasonal limitation entirely. The children's play area and landscaped gardens confirm the family-first orientation of the project. On-site restaurants keep residents from needing a car for every meal.
The overall amenity set is focused and functional. Nothing extraneous, nothing missing for the target demographic.
December 2029 Delivery
Construction started on 2 June 2026. The expected handover date is December 2029, roughly three and a half years from now.
For a buyer entering at this stage, the full construction period lies ahead. Buyers who commit early typically access the most competitive pricing but carry the longest wait before they can occupy or rent out the unit.
Payment Plan: 40% During Build, 60% at Keys
| Stage | Amount Due |
|---|---|
| During construction | 40% |
| On handover | 60% |
Buyers pay 40% spread across the construction period, then settle the remaining 60% at handover in December 2029. There is no post-handover payment plan; the full balance is due on completion.
The larger payment falls at handover. For buyers using mortgage financing, this means the loan activates at the same point the bulk payment is due. Cash buyers hold more capital in reserve through the construction period and deploy it at the end.
