Adviser's note

About Cellista by Zoya

Cellista by Zoya in Dubai South offers furnished studios and two-bedroom apartments. Zoya Developments plans 112 residences here: 52 studios and 60 two-bedroom units. The building includes a ground floor, four residential floors, and a rooftop terrace. Bronze tones, rounded corners, and glass balconies define the design. A pool and lounge are located on the roof, alongside a gym, a yoga terrace, a shaded children's pool, and a play area. This makes the project practical for buyers seeking furnished, low-rise living with shared family amenities.

Handover is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2029. VILA’s registry from November 10, 2026, lists a starting price of AED 626,000, while an earlier October listing from Schmidt & Partner cites AED 599,000. The payment plan requires 20% at booking, 28% during construction, and 10% at handover, with the remaining 42% paid over 60 months post-handover. Location data places DWC Airport and Expo City Dubai at a five- and ten-minute drive, respectively.
