Naya

Three staggered towers on District One's artificial lagoon

Naya Residences places three buildings of varying heights (19, 16 and 12 storeys) along the Crystal Lagoon, a 1.5-kilometre temperature-controlled water body engineered at the heart of MBR City. The development covers roughly 24,000 square metres, with 60 percent of the footprint dedicated to landscaped gardens and pedestrian pathways. Nakheel Properties delivers here its latest benchmark for District One, building on decades of experience shaping Palm Jumeirah and Deira Islands. Handover is scheduled for September 2027 under a freehold structure open to all nationalities. The tiered architecture ensures every unit commands unobstructed views over the lagoon or the Downtown skyline, ten minutes away by car.

Unit mix from one-beds to five-bedroom penthouses

The scheme includes apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms, six penthouses and ground-floor villas facing the lagoon. One-bedroom layouts feature open-plan living, a walk-in closet and a private balcony. Units with two bedrooms or more add a separate laundry room and built-in wardrobes in every bedroom. Penthouses span the top two levels of the main tower: the reception floor houses a show kitchen, double-height living area and guest suite, while the upper level contains the master suite, three secondary bedrooms and a private rooftop pool. Three-bedroom villas sit at garden level with direct access to lawns and the lagoon beach.

A year-round swimmable lagoon as the centrepiece

The Crystal Lagoon forms the project's core amenity. Water temperature is regulated to allow swimming even during the hottest summer months. A dedicated beach lines one edge, fitted with shaded cabanas and barbecue stations. The infinity pool, positioned on an elevated deck, offers dual views over the lagoon and the Business Bay towers beyond. Kayaks and paddleboards are available for residents. This aquatic package positions Naya as a viable alternative to Palm Jumeirah beachfront projects, at a noticeably lower entry price.

Meydan two minutes away, Downtown in ten

District One occupies a pivot point between Al Khail Road and the Dubai Design District free zone. Meydan Racecourse sits two minutes away by car, Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa ten. Dubai International Airport is reachable in twenty minutes via Al Ain Road. A metro station is planned adjacent to the masterplan, expected to improve connectivity by 2028. Immediate conveniences already include several supermarkets, clinics and international schools within a five-minute radius.

Amenities distributed across the masterplan

Rather than concentrating facilities in a single clubhouse, Naya spreads them throughout the community. Residents have access to padel courts, a basketball court, an indoor gym and an outdoor fitness zone. Families benefit from two children's play areas, a shaded kids' pool and a mini dog park. An open-air amphitheatre hosts screenings and community events. Jogging and cycling tracks wind for over a kilometre through landscaped gardens. This dispersed layout prevents overcrowding at any single point and encourages daily, casual use.

Nakheel Properties: four decades of land-making in Dubai

The developer has spent forty years reshaping the emirate's coastline, with a portfolio spanning Palm Jumeirah, Deira Islands and Ibn Battuta Mall. Nakheel has delivered more than 15,000 residential units since 2010. At District One, the company applies its integrated masterplan approach: future phases include retail, a mosque and metro access. This operational continuity reassures buyers about the developer's ability to meet announced timelines and maintain the finishing standards seen on previous handovers.
