About the project
About Lunaya Terraces
Lunaya Terraces is the apartment collection within Lunaya, a nature-led master community by Zaya on Sheikh Zayed Road in Jebel Ali. Lunaya is planned around 65% green space and 900,000 sq ft of swimmable crystal lagoons. The Terraces bring the community's gardens, water and open spaces into a vertical setting.
Rather than conventional apartments, each home is designed around villa-style living. Large private terraces extend the living space outdoors, ceilings are 3 m high, and windows run floor to ceiling. The building rises Ground + 7 floors plus a rooftop, with a limited number of units on each floor, open-air corridors and hanging gardens on the façade, so residents get privacy and plenty of natural light.

The investment case
Who it suits, and why
Type of investment
Capital appreciation
- For investors who prioritise long-term value growth and accept a more modest rental yield.
- Suits buyers with a longer horizon who don't rely on rental income.
Best positioned for
Best suited to Capital Appreciation investors, and High-Yield investors via the 1-bedroom / branded-rental angle. Not suited to Wealth Preservation buyers given off-plan delivery risk and an emerging (not yet established) location.
Investment analysis
Lunaya Terraces enters at around AED 1,900 per sq ft, from the developer behind Al Barari, Zaya Hameni, Nurai Island and Zuhha Island — communities that have commanded a premium while Zaya builds and operates them. It sits on the corridor where Al Maktoum International Airport's expansion, Palm Jebel Ali and the Metro Blue Line are being delivered.
The developer's own track record: Ixora at Al Barari launched from AED 4.0M in Q1 2022 and now averages AED 8.84M (+121% in 4 years); Chorisia I launched from AED 8.48M in 2021 and now averages AED 16.2M (+91% in 3 years); the Al Barari community is up 111% since 2022 (Bayut, Property Finder, YallaValue, 2026). The closest comparable, Zaya Hameni apartments in JVC, launched at an average of AED 630K and now averages AED 1.9M asking — roughly 3x — with average rental yields of 6.83% (Property Finder / Bayut / Driven Properties, 2026).
Indicative scenarios from the developer's evidence pack: conservative 15% to handover (3 years) and 25% over 5 years; base 25–30% to handover and 40–50% over 5 years; an Al Barari-repeat case of 50%+ to handover and 80–120% over 5 years. These bands are illustrative, assume the unit is held to the horizon, exclude fees and depend on market conditions. Past performance does not guarantee future results; buyers should verify against DLD transaction data and obtain independent advice.
Why this works
- Entry pricing around AED 1,900 per sq ft, below the developer's established communities
- Same developer as Zaya Hameni, JVC — about 3x from launch with 6.83% average rental yields (Property Finder / Bayut, 2026)
- Al Barari track record: Ixora +121% in 4 years, Chorisia I +91% in 3 years, community +111% since 2022
- On the corridor of the AED 128bn Al Maktoum International Airport expansion (Zawya, 2026)
- Close to Palm Jebel Ali, with a documented halo effect on surrounding communities
- Metro Blue Line and Etihad Rail planned to serve the corridor
- Rents in Dubai Investment Park and Dubai South up about 20% in the last 12 months (Allsopp & Allsopp, 2026)
- Dubai prime prices rose 25.1% in 2025 (Knight Frank, 2026)
Exit options
- Light in-construction outlay (approx. 25%) supports a pre-handover assignment (resale) strategy
- Post-handover, the asset can pivot to long-term lease or a branded short-term-rental angle, subject to service charge and rental confirmation
