Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date
of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer
claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get
revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
About the building
A residential building in Dubai Islands, currently under construction. Developer — Arsenal East.
Specifications for Zephyra as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet.
They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
About the project
Zephyra is a residential building in Dubai Islands, handover is due Q3 2027.
The developer is Arsenal East.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.
The database has nothing for this project at the moment: lots come and go here, and it refreshes nightly.
A project by a St. Petersburg developer on the Dubai Islands with one of the lowest prices per square metre in the location — $6,300. Apartments come furnished, with Porcelanosa, Smeg and Grohe listed in the finish.
The price argument
The positioning is direct: an alternative to the archipelago's expensive first-line projects. The price per square metre is around $6,300, which sits at the low end of the range for this location.
A one-bedroom from 71 m² starts from AED 1,808,500 ($492,500). A two-bedroom from 107 m² starts from AED 2,600,000 ($708,000). A three-bedroom from 226 m² starts from AED 3,508,000 ($955,000).
Specification
Apartments are handed over furnished. The finish lists well-known plumbing, appliance and tile brands — normally associated with the premium segment.
For a rental scenario, this removes a separate spending stage and lets the owner enter the rental market right after handover.
About the developer
The developer is from St. Petersburg, new to the Dubai market. At launch this was presented as a solid track record.
What needs checking isn't the track record on the home market but what can be verified here: project registration, the escrow account, and any completed projects in the UAE.
Floor areas, prices, price per square metre, specification, payment plan and completion date — launch materials, 7 November 2025.

Nothing in the stock for this project right now
Lots for this project come and go, and the stock is topped up nightly. Message me — I will look through the closed bases and find the closest alternatives in Dubai Islands.
The final payment on this building falls in 2027 — under off-plan plans that is
40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security,
and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and
we will look at what the developer will accept.
The sales-launch announcement says Q3 2027. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
What layouts are there in Zephyra?
1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom, according to the sales-launch announcement. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
Where is Zephyra?
Dubai Islands. The reclaimed islands off Deira, formerly Deira Islands: beaches, hotels and new residential on the northern coast.
How much does an apartment in Zephyra cost?
Our database has no open listings for Zephyra at the moment. I will check the price of the layout you want against the closed databases and send it together with the deal costs.
A 1 425 m bridge across Dubai Creek will link Dubai Islands directly to Bur Dubai: four lanes each way, 16 000 vehicles an hour, 18.5 m above the water. The AED 786m contract targets completion by the end of 2026. What the bridge changes for the islands and the old city.
CG Developers is building Dubai's first JW Marriott residence, priced from AED 1.72 million with a Q1 2028 handover. In parallel, Nakheel has awarded a AED 527 million contract for Island B's core infrastructure — roads, water and sewage for a future 49 000 homes.
A chain of reclaimed islands under a single government master plan. Almost no coastal land with direct beach access is left inside the emirate — and one or two new projects launch here every month. The opportunity and the risk are the same fact.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. Between handover and the first tenant there is a list of connections and registrations, and every one of them needs someone on the ground.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. The dirham’s peg to the dollar shapes the currency risk for every foreign buyer — and the transfer mechanics have costs of their own.
A developer building villas on the Dubai Islands. A house bought off-plan on new land combines two kinds of waiting, and they resolve on different timetables.
A developer with two projects on the Dubai Islands. Beach access is sold as a feature and defined as a legal arrangement — and the two are not always the same thing.
A mid-market company that went from a handful of projects to a large pipeline in a few years. What rapid growth does to risk, and the specific evidence that separates a good scaler from a stretched one.
The state developer behind Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Islands. The difference between a master developer and a building developer, and why it matters for what you own.
