Zyra Hills by Laraix Developers: Off-Plan in International City Phase 2
Getting in for 5% is the headline here. Zyra Hills is a residential development by Laraix Developers in International City Phase 2, Al Warsan 4, Dubai. Construction started in February 2026 and completion is expected in March 2028. The entry point is low, the price spread is wide, and the payment structure is built to keep monthly commitments manageable during the build period.
From Studios to Penthouses: What the Price Range Tells You
Prices run from AED 557,000 to AED 1,263,550. That is a spread of over AED 700,000, which reflects genuinely different product at each end.
At AED 557,000, you are buying a studio. Unit sizes start from around 375 sq ft and go up to 430 sq ft for the studio configurations. These are entry-level units aimed at first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors looking for low ticket sizes in an established community.
The AED 795,050 band covers one-bedroom apartments. Sizes here range from 608 sq ft to 828 sq ft, offering more living space for single professionals or couples.
At the top end, AED 1,263,550 gets you a two-bedroom apartment. Multiple layouts are available, ranging from 919 sq ft to 1,431 sq ft. The spread in two-bedroom sizes suggests the developer is targeting both compact-living buyers and families who need more room.
Penthouses with 3-bedroom layouts of 2,125 sq ft are also part of the offering.
International City Phase 2: The Location Argument
Al Warsan and International City sit in the eastern corridor of Dubai. The area sits between International City Phase 1 and the broader Al Warsan zone, with access to Emirates Road (E611) and Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66). That road access connects you to Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and further along to Sharjah.
This is not a central Dubai address. The trade-off is price. International City Phase 2 is continuing to bring mid-market off-plan stock to this part of the city. For investors, the lower acquisition cost relative to central Dubai translates into better yield potential. For end-users, it means more space for less money, particularly at the studio and one-bedroom level.

The indoor pool is a practical asset in Dubai, giving residents a usable facility year-round regardless of the summer heat. The on-site restaurants are convenient for residents who want dining without leaving the building. The amenity set overall points at a mixed-use, family-and-young-professional community rather than a pure investor block.
Two Years to Handover: What That Means for Off-Plan Buyers
Construction began in February 2026 with expected completion in March 2028. That is roughly two years from now. For an off-plan buyer entering today, it is a standard Dubai off-plan runway. The project breaks ground now and delivers in just over two years, meaning buyers lock in today's price and wait out the construction cycle before taking possession.
Getting In for 5%: The Payment Structure
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 55% |
| Handover | 5% |
| Post-handover | 35% |
The 5% down payment keeps the initial outlay low. Getting in at 5% reduces upfront capital risk and leaves more cash available during the construction period.
The 35% post-handover component is the other significant number. It means nearly a third of the purchase price is paid after you receive the keys. For investors, that effectively defers a large portion of the total cost until the property is income-generating. For end-users, it reduces the pressure to fully finance the unit before moving in. The construction-phase schedule of 55% is split across the build period, typically as milestone-based installments tracked to construction progress.
