Viani by Meteora: Liwan Apartments at 5% Down
Meteora Developers has launched Viani, a residential apartment development in Liwan, Dubai. Construction started in September 2025, with handover targeted for September 2028. The project covers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Two things stand out from the data: a 5% down payment at signing, and a completion date three years away.
Studio to Two-Bedroom: What Each Configuration Offers
Viani runs from studios to two-bedrooms. Starting prices put the studio at AED 731,226, the one-bedroom at AED 1,264,537, and the two-bedroom at AED 1,451,716.
The step between studio and one-bedroom is the largest price jump, at roughly AED 533,000. That gap suggests the one-bedroom delivers a meaningful increase in floor area, not just an extra room. The step from one-bedroom to two-bedroom is narrower at around AED 187,000, making the two-bedroom a less significant stretch for buyers already at the one-bedroom price point.
Studios suit single occupants and investors targeting compact rental units. One-bedrooms work for couples or professionals who need a dedicated bedroom. Two-bedrooms address small families and investors looking for a larger rental unit.
Getting In for 5%
The payment plan is the defining feature of this launch. 5% down at signing is low by Dubai off-plan standards. Construction installments cover 45%, spread across the build period. The remaining 50% falls due at handover in September 2028.
| Stage | % Due |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 45% |
| Handover | 50% |
On a studio at AED 731,226, the initial commitment is roughly AED 36,500. On a two-bedroom at AED 1,451,716, the 5% entry is around AED 72,500. The signing cost is low in both cases relative to the full purchase price. The construction installments spread across the three-year build. The 50% handover payment is the largest single obligation, falling due at completion in September 2028.
Liwan: What the Location Offers
Liwan is a residential district in Dubai's Dubailand area, positioned along the Mohammed Bin Zayed Road corridor. The address is not central and not on the waterfront. The pricing at Viani reflects that profile: studios from AED 731,226 and two-bedrooms at AED 1,451,716 are mid-market figures, suited to a residential community where value and space take priority over address premium.

| Category | Facilities |

| Wellness | Gymnasium |
| Family | Children's Pool, Children's Play Area |
| Lifestyle | Cinema, Restaurants, Retail Facilities |

The cinema and on-site restaurants and retail give residents entertainment and dining options without leaving the development. The children's pool and dedicated play area point to a family-oriented resident profile. Smart home integration and included kitchen appliances reduce the immediate cost of moving in, a practical inclusion at this price level for owner-occupiers alongside rental investors.
Three Years to September 2028
Construction began September 2025. The target completion is September 2028, a three-year build from launch to handover. The 45% construction installments spread across that window, distributing the payment load through the build period. Buyers entering at this stage start at the beginning of the construction schedule, with the 50% handover payment falling due in September 2028.
