Citi Developers has officially broken ground on ARYA Residences, introducing a design-led development that blends art, wellness, and smart living within the vibrant Dubai Islands.

Key Highlights

Citi Developers has commenced construction on ARYA Residences, marking a major development milestone.
The project is located along the marina front at Dubai Islands, offering expansive waterfront views and direct access to leisure-focused living.
The master plan of Dubai Islands includes a 21-kilometre beachfront, nine marinas, luxury resorts, and championship golf courses, strengthening its appeal as a premium coastal destination.
ARYA Residences introduces the “Neo Luxury” concept, focusing on emotion, individuality, and expressive design rather than conventional luxury standards.
According to Zoraiz Malik, the project is designed to create a unique living experience that blends architecture with personal expression.
The building showcases fluid, sculptural architecture with dynamic layouts, enhancing both visual identity and resident experience.
Art is a key highlight, with a triple-height lobby featuring a signature mural by Alec Monopoly, creating a gallery-style entrance.
The development offers a wide range of residences, including one- to three-bedroom apartments, four-bedroom duplexes, and five-bedroom penthouses.
Homes are thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and panoramic waterfront views.
Residents will enjoy wellness-focused amenities, including a spa, yoga studio, Roman bath, hammam, fitness centre, lap pool, private cinema, and social lounges.
The Eleventh Sky rooftop will feature an infinity pool, private cabanas, and a sunken pool bar, overlooking the marina and Dubai skyline.
The project integrates AI-powered smart home technology, enhancing convenience, efficiency, and security.
ARYA Residences reflects a growing trend in Dubai’s luxury real estate market toward lifestyle-driven, design-centric living environments.
The development reinforces Dubai’s position as a global hub for innovative waterfront communities and premium residential experiences.
