Studios to three-bedroom duplexes from AED 700,000, with handover due in Q4 2027. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [One Development](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/one-development) | | Location | [Dubailand](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand) (City of Arabia), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2027 | | Sales launched | 2024-10 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 700,000 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 1,750 | | Home types | Studio apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, 1-bedroom duplexes, 2-bedroom duplexes, 3-bedroom duplexes, 3-bedroom penthouses | | Buildings | 2 | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Laguna Residence is the first Dubai project by [One Development](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/one-development): two residential towers, named Tiffany and Cyan, in City of Arabia on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, part of the wider [Dubailand](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand) district. Each tower rises 45 floors above a ground floor and a five-level podium, on a plot of about 148,000 sq ft. The developer launched it in October 2024, reported that the first phase sold within 30 days, and broke ground 55 days after launch. Handover is due in the fourth quarter of 2027. The podium is the reason to look. Its roof holds a crystal lagoon with a beach edge, an infinity pool, boardwalks, viewing decks and a surf-and-slide feature, all facing the Downtown skyline about 17 minutes away. The developer describes the lagoon as the largest on a podium in the UAE. Around it sit more than 40 shared facilities, from padel and a multi-use court to an outdoor cinema, a dog park and mini golf. Residents manage their homes and book these spaces through One Development's app, which also handles maintenance requests and concierge services. The homes run from studios of about 400 sq ft to three-bedroom duplexes of up to 3,800 sq ft. Between them are one-bedroom apartments and lofts, two-bedroom apartments with and without a maid's room, two- and three-bedroom duplexes and a small number of three-bedroom Sky Homes. The developer's interior renders show full-height glass and double-height living rooms, and private pools appear on its amenity list. One Development lists prices from AED 700,000. Both payment plans put half the price on handover. The first asks 20% on booking, six instalments of 5% during construction and 50% on completion. The second lowers the deposit to 10%, with another 10% 45 days later. Add the 4% Dubai Land Department fee and an AED 3,500 admin fee plus VAT. With handover a year away, that 50% balance is close: plan the mortgage or funds for it now. Who it suits: buyers who want a resort-style podium and a new apartment within 20 minutes of Downtown at a mid-market price, and families who value the GEMS school about three minutes away. What to weigh: Property Finder does not show Laguna Residence among One Development's projects, and one portal describes it as sold out by the developer, while the developer still markets it. Ask exactly which units remain and compare them with resale listings before you commit. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Studio apartments | AED 700,000 | | 400 to 510 sq ft | | available | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 700 to 1,300 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,050 to 1,700 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,900 to 2,400 sq ft | | available | | 1-bedroom duplexes | Not published | | 1,430 to 1,450 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom duplexes | Not published | | 1,500 to 2,200 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom duplexes | Not published | | 3,100 to 3,800 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom penthouses | Not published | | 3,100 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 50/50 with 20% down - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - During construction: 30% (Six instalments of 5%) - On handover: 50% (Q4 2027) Paid before handover: 50%. Plan 1 in the developer's brochure. Add the 4% Dubai Land Department fee and an AED 3,500 admin fee plus VAT. ### 50/50 with 10% down - Down payment: 10% (On booking) - Second payment: 10% (45 days after booking) - During construction: 30% (Six instalments of 5%) - On handover: 50% (Q4 2027) Paid before handover: 50%. Plan 2 in the developer's brochure: a lower deposit, with a second 10% due 45 days later. ## What works - Prices from AED 700,000 for a new apartment about 17 minutes from Downtown Dubai, according to the developer. - A podium lagoon and more than 40 shared facilities, a level of amenity rare at this price in Dubailand. - Half the price is due on handover, so less of your money is tied up during construction. - Construction started within two months of launch, with handover due in the fourth quarter of 2027. - A wide unit mix, from studios to duplexes and Sky Homes, suits both rental and owner-occupier buyers. ## What to weigh - One Development has not yet completed a UAE project, so there is no delivery record to judge. - Availability is unclear. Property Finder does not list the project and one portal calls it sold out, while the developer still markets it. - The 50% handover payment falls due in about a year. Arrange the mortgage or funds early. - Running a large podium lagoon has a cost. Ask for the expected service charge before you buy. - City of Arabia is still being built out around the towers, so expect construction nearby for some years. ## Location In City of Arabia on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, within Dubailand, about seven minutes from Global Village.
