Haven at Lunaya Terraces: 5% Down, December 2029 Delivery
Zaya is developing Haven at Lunaya Terraces in Jebel Ali, on the western edge of Dubai. Construction started on 24 June 2026. Handover is targeted for December 2029, a 42-month build window. For off-plan buyers looking at this part of the city, the payment structure here is the defining characteristic of the project.
Getting In for 5%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 20% |
| On handover | 75% |
Five percent at signing. Twenty percent across 42 months of construction. The remaining 75% due at handover in December 2029.
A 5% down payment limits the upfront cash requirement at the time of purchase. For a development with a December 2029 delivery date, that also means the large portion of the purchase price stays in hand for over three years after signing. The during-construction portion of 20% arrives gradually over the full build window, spreading the obligation across a multi-year period. The balance of 75% falls due at handover. There is no post-handover payment plan. The full purchase price is settled by December 2029.
Jebel Ali: What the Location Offers
Jebel Ali sits on the southwestern side of Dubai, between the city's main commercial districts and the Abu Dhabi border. The Jebel Ali Free Zone is the district's primary economic anchor. Residential communities sit alongside the commercial infrastructure, and the district is served by established transport connections.
Sheikh Zayed Road runs through the district. Dubai Marina and JBR are approximately 15 to 20 minutes north by car. Abu Dhabi is accessible in the opposite direction via the same highway. The Jebel Ali metro station links into the Red Line network, giving residents a rail connection into the wider city without needing to drive.
The airport is roughly 40 to 45 minutes by car. The district sits at a remove from the density of Downtown Dubai or Business Bay, which translates to less congestion and a quieter residential character. Central commercial hubs and entertainment require a drive or a train. For residents whose work or daily commute keeps them in the western corridor, that distance is the point rather than the problem.
About the Development
Haven at Lunaya Terraces takes its name from the idea of a residential retreat. "Terraces" in the name suggests a stepped or layered building form, while "Haven" signals a design emphasis on green and quiet common areas. Zaya is the developer. The project was newly registered in mid-2026, with construction beginning in June of that year.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor and Green Space | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining and Services | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities across four categories. The indoor pool is the practical choice for year-round access in Dubai's climate, where outdoor facilities see reduced use for several months during summer. The gymnasium completes the on-site fitness provision.
Landscaped gardens and a children's play area align with the project's "Haven" concept. Together they suggest the shared outdoor space was treated as a genuine design priority rather than a standard inclusion. The amenity set reflects a resident profile that includes families seeking green common areas alongside individuals who value on-site gym and pool access. On-site restaurants add daily convenience in a district where retail and dining require a car.
CCTV security provides residential monitoring coverage.
What December 2029 Means for a Buyer Today
Construction began on 24 June 2026. Handover is targeted for December 2029, a 42-month window from start to delivery.
Buyers entering now are committing to an off-plan hold of roughly three and a half years. The 5% down payment keeps the initial financial stake minimal. The 20% due during construction spreads across the full build period. The 75% balance lands at handover in late 2029.
For end-users, the project will be ready to occupy in late 2029. The project is newly listed, and buyers entering at this stage are doing so early in the sales cycle.
