Haven at Lunaya Terraces

Eight homes per floor and 3-metre ceilings in Saih Shuaib

Haven at Lunaya Terraces keeps density deliberately low: just eight units per floor, spread across seven residential storeys sitting on a ground floor and topped by a landscaped roof. The building forms part of the Lunaya Terraces community, developed by Zaya in partnership with FIVE Holdings, in the Jebel Ali area along Sheikh Zayed Road. The scheme mixes 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, arranged in both central and corner positions to vary orientation and views. Sizes range from 1,124 sq ft for a one bedroom unit to 2,490 sq ft for a corner three bedroom. All homes come with a 3-metre ceiling height. Handover is set for December 2029, on a freehold basis.

Terraces designed as living rooms, not add-ons

The core idea behind Haven is to extend interior space outward rather than tack on a basic balcony. Each residence is built around wide terraces that add usable floor area and open the living room onto greenery. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural light and frame views over the community's gardens and water features. Zaya carries over the language of its Lunaya villas (openness, materials, a constant relationship with the landscape) and applies it vertically. Circulation runs through open corridors, which keep a visual and physical link to the outdoors on every level. It's this continuity between the planted ground and the rooftop terraces that shapes the whole building.

Maid's room and laundry from the 2 bedroom up

The layouts clearly target residents who plan to live in the units, not just buyers looking for an investment. The one bedroom (1,124 to 1,190 sq ft) includes a living room, integrated kitchen, master bedroom with walk-in closet and a laundry room, plus one parking space. The two bedroom (1,749 to 2,017 sq ft) adds a maid's room with its own bathroom, on top of the laundry room. The three bedroom (2,219 to 2,490 sq ft) comes with two parking spaces and keeps the maid's room, walk-in closet and dedicated storage. Finishes stay neutral, kitchens are built in and living rooms open onto the dining area. This layout is aimed squarely at expat families looking for space and live-in help.

Rooftop pool and an open-air gym

Amenities are split between ground level and the rooftop, in keeping with the landscaped approach Lunaya is known for. The roof holds a pool, a pool lounge, roof gardens and a planted terrace, essentially a second communal layer at the top of the building. At ground level there are landscaped green spaces, walking paths, multi-purpose sports courts and an indoor gym paired with outdoor fitness equipment. The building also includes a lobby, a lounge, a children's play area and neighbourhood retail, including cafes and restaurants. A single elevator serves the whole building. The goal is to keep daily life contained within the planted grounds.

Five minutes from Outlet Village, twenty from Dubai Marina

Saih Shuaib 1 sits on Dubai's southern growth corridor, where several major projects are advancing at the same time. Sheikh Zayed Road is directly accessible from Haven. The Outlet Village and Dubai Parks & Resorts are 5 minutes away, Dubai South and Expo City 12 minutes. Palm Jebel Ali and Jebel Ali Beach are reached in 14 minutes, The Winchester School Jebel Ali in 15 minutes and Dubai Marina in 22 minutes. The brochure makes a point of the link to the Green Spine, the ecological corridor planned to connect Dubai and Abu Dhabi, whose route runs nearby. This location is a long-term bet, in an area still under construction rather than already built out.

Zaya, a developer with roots in Al Barari

Zaya points to a track record of delivered, landscape-focused communities, citing Al Barari as a reference in its materials. That Dubai neighbourhood, known for its dense greenery and high-end villas, backs up the brand's messaging around nature and open space. For Lunaya Terraces, Zaya has teamed up with FIVE Holdings, a group best known for its hotels and resorts in Dubai. Haven is one of five buildings in the Lunaya Terraces collection, alongside Cove, Reef, Shore and Bay. The project is initially being sold by full floors through bulk deals, with an EOI set at 5%. A detailed launch date and pricing will be announced at a later stage.
