Question 1

Where exactly is Lunaya located and how do I get there?

Accepted Answer

Lunaya sits in Saih Shuaib 1, Jebel Ali Village, Dubai — directly on Sheikh Zayed Road (E11). The community has three-lane direct entry and exit from both sides of E11, making it one of the best-connected villa addresses in Dubai's southern corridor. It is also accessible via Emirates Road (E611).

Question 2

Is Lunaya a freehold development?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lunaya is a freehold development registered with the Dubai Land Department. Expatriate buyers, GCC nationals, and UAE citizens all have full legal ownership rights, and title deeds are issued under the standard DLD Oqood framework for off-plan properties.

Question 3

What is the payment plan?

Accepted Answer

The primary payment plan is 40% during construction and 60% on handover. A 35/65 variant is also referenced by some authorised agents. An initial booking deposit of 10% is required, with the remaining construction-phase instalments spread across project milestones leading to the Q4 2029 handover.

Question 4

When is handover and what stage is construction at?

Accepted Answer

Handover is targeted for Q4 2029, with some marketing materials citing an earlier 2029 window. The project was registered with the DLD in late 2025, and site mobilisation was confirmed in April 2026 as the project entered its early infrastructure phase.

Question 5

What unit types are available and what are the prices?

Accepted Answer

Four typologies are offered: The Bloom (4BR townhouse, from AED 4.9M / 2,966 sq ft), The Rise (4BR maisonette, from AED 6.9M / 3,814 sq ft), The Dune (5BR duet villa, from AED 12M / 6,635 sq ft), and The Sol (5BR standalone villa, from AED 16.5M / 8,231 sq ft). Total community supply is 500+ villas.

Question 6

Am I eligible for the UAE Golden Visa if I buy at Lunaya?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The UAE Golden Visa for real estate investors requires a minimum property value of AED 2 million. Every Lunaya unit starts at AED 4.9M, so all buyers qualify. The 10-year renewable residency visa covers the primary investor and their dependants, and applications are processed through the Dubai Land Department once the title deed is issued.

Question 7

What is the investment case — rental yield, ROI, and capital appreciation?

Accepted Answer

Lunaya is primarily positioned as a long-term capital appreciation play rather than an immediate yield vehicle, given the 2029 handover. Analyst estimates for the Jebel Ali villa corridor project annual rental yields of 2.5–4.5% once delivered, alongside a five-year capital appreciation scenario of 5–10% per sq ft per annum. ZAYA's prior projects are cited as having doubled in value over a three-year period. Proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport (under major expansion), Dubai South, and Expo City is the core demand driver underpinning long-term price growth.

Question 8

What amenities and lifestyle features does the community offer?

Accepted Answer

Lunaya is built around a 900,000 sq ft swimmable crystal lagoon with 65% of total land dedicated to green spaces and parks. Community-wide amenities include a 4.5 km running and cycling trail, a REFIVE spa, advanced gym and biohacking wellness suite, pilates studio, farm-to-table restaurant, patisserie and gourmet pubs, padel, tennis and pickleball courts, an outdoor lagoon cinema, kids' club, dog park, skate park, amphitheatre, and a community retail plaza. All homes include private parking, a maid's room, and laundry facilities; select unit types feature private pools and rooftop terraces.
