The Yards

A five-phase masterplan where 70% of the land stays green

The Yards allocates seven out of every ten hectares to landscaped gardens, walking trails, and sunken courtyards. Beyond by Omniyat launches the development with Arancia Yards, a low-rise boutique community designed by British firm HBA alongside Dewan Architects. Coopers Hill Landscape shapes the outdoor environment, weaving fountains and jogging tracks through Mediterranean-inspired vegetation. The site sits near Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, three minutes from IMG Worlds of Adventure and ten minutes from Global Village. Construction sales open in June 2026, with handover scheduled for Q1 2029. Five phases will ultimately complete the masterplan, making Arancia the entry point for early buyers.

City of Arabia, a southern corridor gaining traction

City of Arabia occupies a relatively quiet pocket between Dubai Silicon Oasis and the E311 highway. Downtown Dubai is roughly thirty minutes away by car, Dubai International Airport about twenty-five minutes. Silicon Central Mall provides retail within fifteen minutes, while IMG Worlds of Adventure anchors the entertainment offering next door. The area has attracted mid-market residential projects over the past few years, but few rival The Yards in green density. The masterplan's low-rise orientation contrasts with the tower-heavy developments elsewhere in the emirate. For buyers seeking space and landscaping over skyline views, the location delivers a clear value proposition.

HBA and Dewan Architects shape the aesthetic

HBA, a hospitality-focused design firm with global reach, brings a Mediterranean vocabulary to the project: light stone, natural textures, expansive glazing. Dewan Architects, an Emirati practice established in 1984, handles structural design. The collaboration produces buildings of three to five floors that blend into the landscape rather than dominate it. Facades alternate between pale render and glass panels, avoiding the reflective curtain walls typical of Dubai towers. The result feels closer to a European coastal resort than a Gulf metropolis. This architectural restraint may appeal to buyers tired of glassy high-rises.

Unit mix from 688 to 1,550 square feet

Arancia offers one-bedroom apartments starting at 688 square feet, two-bedroom layouts around 1,055 square feet, and three-bedroom units with maid's quarters reaching 1,550 square feet. Floor plans prioritize open living areas that extend onto balconies overlooking the gardens. Panoramic glazing maximizes daylight and visual continuity with the landscape. Interior palettes rely on neutral tones, raw wood finishes, and stone accents. The three-bedroom configuration includes a separate service room, targeting families with live-in staff. Compared to villa compounds in the same corridor, these apartments trade private plots for shared wellness amenities and lower entry prices.

Wellness amenities across the masterplan

The Yards integrates a spa, kids club, jogging tracks, and landscaped walking paths into its communal areas. A sunken garden provides a sheltered courtyard for relaxation, shielded from wind and traffic noise. An indoor multipurpose space and conference room cater to remote workers and small professional gatherings. Covered and outdoor parking accommodate residents and visitors. The development lacks beachfront or marina access, but compensates with an unusually high ratio of green space to built area. Social zones and fountains punctuate the pedestrian circuit, encouraging outdoor activity year-round.

40/60 payment structure, Q1 2029 delivery

Beyond by Omniyat structures payments at 40% during construction and 60% on handover. A refundable Expression of Interest of AED 50,000 secures priority access before the public launch in June 2026. The construction timeline of under three years aligns with industry norms for low-rise residential projects. No post-handover installment plan has been announced, simplifying the financial commitment. Arancia represents the first phase of a five-phase rollout, meaning early buyers lock in launch pricing before subsequent phases potentially adjust upward. Investors seeking off-plan exposure in a new masterplan may find the entry point attractive.
