Q4 2028
There's a moment, driving into City of Arabia past the rollercoasters of IMG and the lantern-lit lanes of Global Village, where the noise of Dubai falls away and the land opens up into something quieter and greener. That stretch of Dubailand is exactly where Arancia Yards rises — the first residential cluster of The Yards, the new master-planned destination by Beyond Developments, the design-led brand under the Omniyat Group. Named after the Italian word for orange, the project trades on warmth, light and a Mediterranean ease that's rare for an inland Dubai address. The essentials, plainly: 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments ranging from 696 to 1,756 sq ft, starting from AED 1 million, with handover scheduled for Q4 2028. It's an off-plan launch, freehold, and arguably one of the more accessible entry points into a brand-new Dubailand masterplan that you'll find this year.
Arancia Yards is the opening chapter of The Yards — a low-rise, nature-led community designed around landscaped open space rather than tower-block density. Where most of Dubai builds vertically, Beyond has gone the other way here. Arancia is composed of three low-rise buildings arranged around a generous sunken garden that acts as the social heart of the cluster, with rooftop terraces above and a band of ground-floor retail and café space woven into the base. The masterplan it belongs to commits roughly 70% of its area to open landscape and is organised along a kilometre-long green spine — so the architecture is genuinely shaped around walking, shade and greenery, not the other way round. Architecture is by HBA and landscaping by Cooper Hills, two names that explain why the renders feel considered rather than generic.
Inside, the residences lean into clean lines, generous proportions and a deliberate use of natural light, with premium material finishes chosen for longevity as much as looks. The orange motif that gives Arancia its name carries through the façade composition and communal areas, giving the cluster a recognisable identity within the wider City of Arabia. For a buyer, the practical translation is this: layouts run from compact one-bedroom apartments at 696 sq ft — sensible for an investor or a first home — up to family-sized three-bedroom homes near 1,756 sq ft. It's a residential product built for how people actually live day to day, which is a fair description of Beyond's wider design philosophy.
Arancia Yards is built around wellness, family life and shared social space — the amenities aren't a checklist bolted on, they're the reason the layout works. Because the cluster is organised around landscaped gardens and a sunken central garden, most of what you'd use daily sits a short walk from your door rather than buried in a basement podium. Here's how it breaks down.
For active living and wellness, the development reads like a place designed to get you outdoors. A dedicated jogging and walking track loops through the landscaping, while cycling trails extend the active footprint well beyond the buildings themselves — useful in a community where so much ground is given over to greenery. A fully equipped gym covers structured training, and after the workout there's a spa area for recovery and the kind of slow morning that justifies the commute home. The standout, though, is the lagoon pools — resort-style water set into the landscape, which for a low-rise inland community is genuinely uncommon and does a lot to lift the everyday feel of living here.
For families and everyday convenience, Arancia is clearly thinking about households rather than just single investors. An indoor kids' play area gives children a safe, climate-controlled space to burn energy during Dubai's hotter months, while the landscaped gardens give them somewhere to roam the rest of the year. At ground level, a retail café and the integrated retail frontage mean a coffee, a few groceries or a casual meet-up don't require getting in the car. The club house anchors the community socially — somewhere to host, gather or simply get out of the apartment without leaving home. Taken together, these are the amenities that make a community feel lived-in rather than merely occupied.
Socially and culturally, this is where Arancia gets a little more ambitious than the average mid-market launch. An amphitheatre built into the landscape gives the community a natural stage for events, film nights and seasonal gatherings, while a dedicated cinema brings entertainment in-house. The sunken seating around the central garden creates intimate, shaded pockets to read, talk or watch the kids — the sort of human-scale detail that separates a thoughtful scheme from a generic one. These shared spaces matter for a reason beyond lifestyle: communities with real social infrastructure tend to mature faster and hold tenant and buyer interest more reliably over time, which is worth weighing if you're buying off-plan.
On the green-living and connectivity side, the design philosophy is the amenity. With the broader masterplan dedicating the bulk of its footprint to open landscape and structuring everything along a green spine, Arancia is built for walkability and shade rather than asphalt — a meaningful sustainability and wellbeing choice in this climate. For the growing share of buyers who work remotely, a co-working space within the community removes the daily commute entirely and adds genuine utility to a one or two-bedroom apartment. It's the kind of amenity that quietly widens the tenant pool too, since flexible and hybrid workers increasingly screen for exactly this when they rent.
Arancia Yards sits inside City of Arabia, a self-contained master community within Dubailand, with direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). That single road connection is the key to the address: it ties a quiet, green, family-oriented pocket of Dubai directly into the emirate's main arterial network, so the calm doesn't come at the cost of being cut off. City of Arabia has spent years building out as one of Dubailand's more established master communities, and Beyond's arrival — its first inland project — is a signal that institutional developers now see this corridor as a genuine growth story rather than an outlier.
The lifestyle here is defined by what's quite literally next door. IMG Worlds of Adventure is around three minutes away and Global Village about ten — two of Dubai's biggest entertainment and leisure draws sitting on your doorstep, which is a rare thing to be able to say about a residential address. For everyday needs, Silicon Central Mall is roughly fifteen minutes out, and the wider Dubailand area is well supplied with schools, nurseries, clinics and supermarkets that have grown alongside its residential population. For families in particular, that combination of green community living and weekend entertainment within minutes is a strong, practical pull — it's the kind of location where "things to do this weekend" is never really a question.
Connectivity is where the numbers do the talking, and they're reassuring for both commuters and weekend explorers. Downtown Dubai is around twenty minutes away, Mall of the Emirates roughly twenty-three, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) about twenty-five — perfectly liveable drive times for an address this green and this affordable. The proximity to Dubai Miracle Garden, Hamdan Sports Complex and, further out, Al Maktoum International (DWC) rounds out a location that balances leisure, sport and travel access. For an inland Dubailand community, this is a genuinely well-connected position rather than a marketing claim.
At AED 1 million entry with a Q4 2028 handover, Arancia Yards is positioned as a ground-floor entry into a brand-new Dubailand masterplan — which is usually where off-plan capital appreciation comes from. Buying the first cluster of a master-planned community has a logic to it: you're entering at launch pricing before later phases, amenities and the wider community come online and reset values upward. Dubailand has been one of the city's more active growth corridors, and properties inside maturing master communities have historically traded at a premium to comparable standalone buildings. None of this guarantees a return — off-plan always carries timeline and market risk — but the entry price, the masterplan backing and the early-phase position are exactly the ingredients investors look for. FP Property can pull current comparable transactions in City of Arabia so you're working from real DLD data, not optimism.
On rental yield, the case rests on location and price point working together. An apartment minutes from IMG Worlds and Global Village has a natural pull for both long-term family tenants and the short-let and holiday-rental market that clusters around Dubai's entertainment destinations — a dual demand profile that many purely residential suburbs can't offer. A 696 sq ft one-bedroom bought near the AED 1 million mark also keeps the rent achievable, which tends to mean shorter void periods and a wider tenant pool. We won't quote you a headline yield figure here, because the honest answer depends on unit type, floor and the rental market at handover in 2028 — but FP Property will model realistic gross and net scenarios against live City of Arabia comparables before you commit.
On developer credibility, this matters more than usual for an off-plan purchase, and Arancia stands up well. Beyond Developments operates under the Omniyat Group, one of Dubai's most established luxury developers, and Beyond's own portfolio already spans Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Islands and Dubai Maritime City. The Yards is the brand's first inland masterplan and a multi-billion-dirham commitment to this corridor — the kind of scale that suggests a developer is building for the long term rather than flipping a single plot. Just as importantly for your protection, off-plan purchases in Dubai are regulated by the DLD, with buyer payments held in a project escrow account and released against construction milestones. FP Property will walk you through exactly how that safeguard applies to Arancia.
Finally, there's the lifestyle value — which, for an end-user, is the part the spreadsheet doesn't capture. A low-rise home wrapped in landscaped gardens, with lagoon pools, a spa, a co-working space and a cinema within the community, and two of Dubai's biggest leisure attractions a few minutes away, is a genuinely pleasant place to actually live. Like most residential launches in this part of Dubailand, Arancia Yards is offered on a freehold basis, and a construction-linked payment plan keeps the capital outlay manageable through to handover — FP Property can confirm tenure for your nationality and share the full milestone payment schedule, including any post-handover terms. Whether you're buying to live or to let, the combination of price, product and position is the reason this one is worth a closer look.
If Arancia Yards looks like the right fit, the next step is to see the floor plans and the current price list for the unit type you have in mind. Launch-phase availability in the first cluster of a new masterplan tends to move quickly, and the best layouts and price points are usually the first to go — so it's worth getting in early while the full range is still open.
Speak to an FP Property advisor and we'll send you the available floor plans, the latest pricing across the 1, 2 and 3-bedroom range, and the full payment plan including any post-handover options. We can also book you a presentation or viewing, confirm freehold eligibility for your nationality, and pull comparable City of Arabia transaction data so you're making the decision on facts, not hype.
