BEYOND Developments Unveils Dh4B 'The Yards' in Dubai’s City of Arabia
Gulf News
BEYOND Developments launches a Dh4 billion masterplan featuring 1,560 residences and Mediterranean-inspired green living in the high-growth City of Arabia corridor.
A New Vision for Inland Dubai: The Yards
BEYOND Developments has officially pulled back the curtain on its latest ambitious project, The Yards, a Dh4 billion master-planned community located in Dubai’s City of Arabia. This marks a strategic pivot for the developer, representing its first major inland masterplan following a string of successful waterfront projects on the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Islands, and Dubai Maritime City.
The Yards is designed to cater to the growing demand for nature-centric, human-scale urban living. Spanning a gross floor area of 2.3 million square feet, the masterplan is set to deliver 1,560 residential units, ranging from one- to three-bedroom apartments.
Nature-Led Design and Connectivity
What sets The Yards apart is its commitment to open space. Approximately 70% of the total masterplan area is dedicated to landscaping, anchored by a one-kilometre 'green spine.' This Mediterranean-inspired approach aims to bridge the gap in the market for premium, nature-integrated housing within Dubai’s inland corridors.
Strategically positioned, the development is located along a fast-evolving urban corridor. Connectivity is a core pillar of the project, with proximity to planned Dubai Metro expansions and easy access to the emirate's major hubs. The site offers a 25-minute commute to Dubai International Airport (DXB) and is only 38 minutes away from Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC).
Introducing Arancia: The First Residential Cluster
Alongside the masterplan reveal, BEYOND Developments launched Arancia, the first residential cluster within The Yards. Arancia consists of 272 residences spread across three low-rise buildings.
This cluster is designed around a 4,200-square-metre sunken garden, serving as the community's social heart. Residents will also benefit from 3,000 square metres of rooftop terraces and over 2,000 square metres of retail and food and beverage (F&B) space on the ground level.
Adil Taqi, CEO of BEYOND Developments, highlighted that the project is a response to structural market drivers rather than cyclical trends. "The Yards is an Dh4 billion commitment to a district where scale, connectivity, and a genuine scarcity of quality supply are converging to create one of the most compelling long-term investment cases in Dubai," Taqi stated.
Strategic Growth and Infrastructure
Ramzi Rahal, Chief Development Officer at BEYOND Developments, emphasized that the Arancia cluster sets the tone for the entire masterplan, prioritizing well-being and connectivity. By focusing on low-rise typologies in a market often dominated by high-rises, BEYOND aims to address a demonstrable gap in Dubai's premium residential supply.
The launch comes at a time when Dubai continues to see sustained population growth and significant infrastructure investment. The City of Arabia location is expected to see long-term capital appreciation as the surrounding transport networks and commercial nodes continue to mature.
Implication for Real Estate Agents
For agents, The Yards represents a strong entry point into the City of Arabia, a district poised for significant growth. The low-rise, high-greenery USP is highly attractive to end-users and investors looking for alternatives to the dense high-rise clusters in Downtown or Marina. With the first cluster (Arancia) now live, early-phase pricing offers a strategic opportunity for clients seeking capital appreciation in an emerging transport-linked hub.
