James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Celestara Residences is off-plan, due in 2028, so no owner has sold a completed home here yet. Buyers took 21 homes here in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026, at about AED 1,727 per sq ft. Sales are slow. Ask for a better payment plan before you sign, and compare the price with a completed tower next door.”

Checked, not found: artist's impressions, floor plans, a video, a brochure or other PDF, facts we could check. We searched the developer site and the web on 12 Oct 2026. Ask Al Dhana Real Estate Development for the latest brochure and floor plans.

Construction progress: not found

We found no public progress record for this tower. Ask the developer for the latest inspection report from the Land Department.

Payment plan: 10/40/50 or 20/30/50 or 60/40

How the developer asks you to pay for a home bought off-plan. The median off-plan price here in the last 12 months is AED 500,000 (Land Department records); each share applies to your own price. Handover stated: Q2 2028

The sources do not agree. We show each plan we found. Ask the developer for the plan in force today before you pay a booking fee.

Read on 11 Oct 2026 from broker and developer pages. A script checked that each plan adds to 100% and that the words are in the source. Plans change: the sale contract is the only binding version. On top of the price you pay the 4% Land Department fee and the registration fees. Three sources give three different plans (10/40/50, 20/30/50, 60/40), and source 1 is internally inconsistent (its headline says 'Book at Just 20%' but its plan table says 10% down), so confirm the current plan with the developer before committing; the 4% DLD registration fee is payable on top (source 2).

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A sold median needs 10 sales, an advert median 3 adverts.

Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 20 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 27 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

Too few off-plan sales to state a yearly change

Median AED 1,727 per sq ft in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026 (21 off-plan sales). A yearly change needs at least 30 sales in each of the two 12-month periods.

Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.

Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most; Land Department records, quarters with 10 or more sales. Off-plan sales are 100% of sales in the last 12 months, so the bars can mix launch and resale prices.

Every sale since 2025: 27 sales of 27 units

Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Mortgage: what Celestara Residences costs a month

The tower is off-plan. A bank can lend at most 50% of the price of an off-plan home, and most buyers use the loan for the payment at handover. The rate starts at 3.99%, the most common 3-year fixed rate in two bank comparison lists dated 5 October 2026. Fixed rates in those lists run from 3.75% to 4.69%. Three-month EIBOR, the base for variable rates, was 4.19% on 9 Oct 2026.

Banks set their own limit for buyers who do not live in the UAE. Fees are the usual ones: Land Department 4% of the price plus AED 580; mortgage registration 0.25% of the loan plus AED 290; trustee office AED 4,200; agent 2% plus 5% VAT; bank fee 1% of the loan plus VAT (it differs by bank); valuation AED 3,150.

No resident reviews: the tower is not built

Nobody lives in Celestara Residences yet, so there is nothing a resident can tell you. Reviews you see elsewhere under this name are about the sales office, the developer or another building. What we can show is below: what the developer and the documents say about the project. We add resident reviews after handover.

Parking and driving at Celestara Residences

Parking

Too few adverts for this building give a number of parking spaces (4 adverts read). Ask the seller or the developer how many spaces come with the home.

  • Spaces in the building: 153, from the published building details.
  • Street parking: paid street parking in JVC costs AED 4 an hour from 8am to 5pm and AED 6 an hour from 5pm to midnight. Zones and rules.
  • This building is not finished. Adverts repeat what the developer promises.

Source: adverts for homes in this building, read 6 to 11 Oct 2026. An advert describes one home, not the building. Parking in every JVC building.

Driving out of JVC

3.1 minutes to the nearest way out of JVC on an empty road: the Al Khail Road exit (north-west), 2.1 km by road. That is in the farthest third of JVC buildings (place 526 of 722; 1 is nearest). The nearest way in is the Hessa Street entrance (east), 0.9 minutes.

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 10 Sep 2025 to 19 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (binayah.com, equityedge.ae, live adverts: community guide, propsearch.ae, topultraluxury.com), read by an AI model on 21 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: resident reviews, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit.
