Etérea by Zoya Developments, Majan
Zoya Developments is building Etérea in Majan, a residential district in Dubailand. The project offers apartments spanning from AED 1,130,000 to AED 4,000,000, a range that reflects a mixed buyer base. Construction started in October 2026, with handover targeted for September 2029.
Majan: What the Address Means in Practice
Majan sits within Dubailand, a large-scale development zone in the northern belt of Dubai. The district lies close to the Mohammed Bin Zayed Road interchange, giving residents direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Downtown Dubai is around 30 minutes by car under normal conditions. Dubai International Airport is roughly the same distance in the other direction. Those two roads run the length of the city, so commuters working anywhere along that corridor have a direct route. For an investor, Dubailand's development scale means Majan sits within a connected network of residential communities rather than an isolated pocket.
AED 1.13M to AED 4M: What the Range Tells You
The price range is wide. AED 1,130,000 is the entry point, which buys a compact apartment suited to a single buyer or small household. AED 4,000,000 at the top puts you in a larger configuration suited to a family. That spread of nearly four times from low to high confirms that Etérea is not a single-profile development. An investor looking for an accessible off-plan entry is in this project alongside a family buyer who wants space. Those two groups evaluate a project on different terms: entry price and rental potential on one side; layout, finish, and amenity quality on the other.
Apartments Only
Every unit in Etérea is an apartment. That aligns the project with renters, investors targeting a rentable asset, and owner-occupiers who prefer a managed-building format. Anyone looking for a villa or townhouse will need a different project.
What's On Site
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Services | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
An indoor pool is a practical choice in Dubai's climate, where summer temperatures make outdoor facilities uncomfortable for months at a time. The gymnasium and landscaped gardens cover the daily fitness and outdoor needs of working residents. The children's play area signals family positioning. Zoya has designed Etérea for household occupants, not only single residents. On-site restaurants mean residents can eat without leaving the development. The amenity set covers the three most common resident profiles: family, couple, and single occupant.
Construction Timeline: Three Years to Handover
Construction started in October 2026. Completion is expected in September 2029, roughly three years away. An off-plan buyer entering now commits to a three-year wait before the asset is deliverable or rentable. The construction-phase payment of 34% spreads across that period, keeping the monthly outflow during construction lower than it would be in a shorter build cycle.
Getting In for 15%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 15% |
| During construction | 34% |
| On handover | 11% |
| Post handover | 40% |
The 15% down payment keeps the initial outlay manageable. For a buyer at the starting price of AED 1,130,000, that means AED 169,500 to secure the unit at signing.
The standout feature of this plan is the 40% post-handover component. That portion of the purchase price is paid after you take the keys. For an investor at AED 1.5M, that means AED 600,000 is deferred beyond handover. Rental income can service that balance if the unit is tenanted promptly. For an end-user, it means the unit is livable while you continue paying down the bulk of the price. The 34% in construction-phase payments spreads over three years, and the 11% at handover is a single lump at transfer.
