Prestige by Zimaya Properties: A 5% Entry into Al Furjan
Zimaya Properties is bringing Prestige to Al Furjan, one of Dubai's mid-market villa communities. This is a single-product development: four-bedroom villas at a fixed price of AED 2,500,000. The entry structure is what makes this project worth examining in detail.
What AED 2.5 Million Buys You Here
There is one price across the project. But there are two villa configurations, and the difference matters. Type A covers 2,500 square feet across four bedrooms, equating to roughly AED 1,000 per square foot. Type B doubles that at 5,000 square feet with the same bedroom count, bringing the per-square-foot cost to approximately AED 500.
Both carry the same price tag. Type A suits the buyer who wants four bedrooms in a compact, efficient layout with lower utility bills and a smaller plot to maintain. Type B is for the family that needs genuine space and is prepared to manage a larger home. The per-square-foot gap between the two is significant for buyers assessing long-term value. At AED 2.5M for a four-bedroom villa in Al Furjan, the pricing sits in the mid-market band.
Al Furjan: Space, Metro Access, and a Residential Character
Al Furjan sits in the outer western corridor of Dubai, with access to both Sheikh Zayed Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. The Route 2020 Metro extension has a station serving the community, giving residents a transit option alongside the road network. Marina and JLT are under 20 minutes by car. Dubai International is roughly 35 to 40 minutes in normal traffic.
The community is predominantly residential, made up of villas and townhouses rather than towers. That matters for daily life: quieter streets, parking without the apartment-block competition, and a neighbourhood feel that high-rise developments rarely deliver. Families and long-term renters who want villa space without paying for Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills addresses are the natural fit. Investors targeting the family-rental segment will recognise the profile: professionals and expats with children who want a yard, a garage, and room to live.
Getting In for 5%
Three payment plans are available, and the variation between them is meaningful:
| Plan | Down Payment | During Construction | At Handover | Post-Handover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | 5% | 45% | 50% | N/A |
| Option 2 | 10% | 40% | 50% | N/A |
| Option 3 | 10% | 40% | 10% | 40% |
Option 1's 5% down is the lowest entry point on offer. That puts the initial capital required at AED 125,000 for a four-bedroom villa. The trade-off is a 50% lump sum at handover, which demands either available liquidity or a committed mortgage at that point.
Option 3 is the most cash-flow-friendly structure. The 40% post-handover allocation reduces the handover payment to just 10% and spreads the balance over time. Buyers who plan to lease the unit immediately after delivery will find this the most workable arrangement.
Past the Scheduled Delivery Date
Construction started in May 2025. The expected completion date was April 2026, which means the project has passed its scheduled delivery milestone. Buyers entering now are acquiring at or near handover stage, not committing to a multi-year off-plan wait. The entire construction cycle from groundbreaking to delivery spans roughly 11 months, a compact build timeline for a villa project.
Amenities Built for Residents, Not the Brochure
| Theme | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Infinity Pool |
| Health | Well-being and Fitness Centre |
| Security | CCTV Security |
| Practical | Garage |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
The five amenities are compact and purposeful. The infinity pool and children's play area confirm who this project targets. The garage is a functional necessity in a villa community where households run more than one vehicle. The well-being and fitness centre covers on-site health needs without the overhead of a full-scale gym operation. This is not a development stretching the amenity list to fill a brochure; the set reflects what the target resident actually uses day to day.
