Celesto Tower 2: One and Two-Bedroom Apartments in Dubai Land Residence Complex
Tarrad Development is building Celesto Tower 2 in Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), one of Dubai's larger planned residential zones sitting inland, roughly 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai and about 30 minutes from Dubai Marina under normal traffic. DLRC trades location premium for space and value. That trade-off is the core thesis for anyone evaluating this project.
Getting In for 10%
The down payment is 10%, which sits at the lower end of the off-plan market in Dubai. From there, 40% is paid during construction, and the remaining 50% falls due at handover in June 2028. That final tranche is the largest single payment in the schedule.
For a one-bedroom at AED 767,000, the handover payment comes to around AED 383,500. On a two-bedroom at AED 1,224,000, it is roughly AED 612,000. The low entry point keeps the initial commitment manageable while construction runs its course.
What AED 767K to AED 1.22M Gets You
The price range covers two distinct buyer groups. One-bedroom apartments start at AED 767,000, with floor plans ranging from around 528 to 688 sq ft depending on layout. Two-bedroom units all start at AED 1,224,000 and range from 852 to 1,087 sq ft.
Within the one-bedroom category, the price is consistent across all layout types. The difference is footprint and configuration, not price tier. A buyer choosing between 1-bed layouts is picking a floor plan, not a budget. The two-bed range is wider: the 852 sq ft option is noticeably more compact than the 1,074 to 1,087 sq ft alternatives, though pricing is the same across all two-bed types.
At AED 767K, the one-bedroom suits investors targeting the DLRC rental market and end-users looking for an entry point into Dubai property. The two-bedroom at AED 1.22M suits buyers who need the extra room and are willing to move further from the centre for more space per dirham.
Dubai Land Residence Complex: What the Location Means
DLRC is a large-scale residential district built around a core of schools, retail, and community facilities. Academic City sits nearby, which makes the area practical for those connected to that cluster. Emirates Road and its interchanges give residents direct access to the southern and eastern parts of the emirate without routing through central Dubai.
For a buy-to-let investor, DLRC draws tenants who want modern apartments in a lower-density setting. The rents reflect the location rather than a premium address, which supports yield potential for buyers at this price point. For an end-user, the location works best for those whose daily commute runs along Emirates Road or into the eastern corridors of the city.
Amenities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Recreation | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor pool separates this project from many towers in the same price range, where outdoor-only facilities are the more common arrangement. Covered, year-round access regardless of summer heat makes it a more functional option.
The gymnasium, gardens, and children's play area cover the core needs of a working professional or small family. On-site restaurants reduce dependence on outside options for daily meals. The overall amenity set is mid-market in scope: practical and functional rather than resort-oriented.
Timeline: Handover June 2028
Construction started in January 2026. Completion is scheduled for June 2028, giving a build period of roughly two and a half years. Buyers entering now face around two years of wait before handover, during which the 40% construction tranche is paid in instalments.
The project has passed both the booking and construction start milestones, which puts it in the active build phase.
