BEYOND Developments Unveils AED 4 Billion ‘The Yards’ Masterplan in Dubai’s City of Arabia

Dubai’s real estate landscape continues to evolve with ambitious masterplans that reflect the city’s long-term vision for growth, connectivity, and world-class urban living. In a major new announcement, BEYOND Developments has unveiled The Yards, an AED 4 billion master-planned destination in City of Arabia, marking a significant step in the developer’s expansion across the UAE.

Alongside the masterplan reveal, BEYOND also launched Arancia, the first residential cluster within the destination. Designed as a Mediterranean-inspired community, The Yards is positioned as a new inland destination that combines nature-led design, premium residential living, and strategic connectivity within one of Dubai’s most fast-evolving urban districts.

Spanning 2.3 million square feet of gross floor area, The Yards will feature 1,560 residential units, including one, two, and three-bedroom apartments. The development is centered around a one-kilometre green spine, with approximately 70 per cent of the total area dedicated to open landscape. This strong focus on greenery and open space reflects a growing shift in Dubai’s residential market, where buyers and investors are increasingly seeking communities that balance design, wellness, convenience, and long-term lifestyle value.

Located in City of Arabia, The Yards benefits from a strategic position along an emerging urban corridor that connects key employment, entertainment, and transport nodes across Dubai. With planned public transport expansion and nearby metro infrastructure expected to strengthen connectivity, the destination is positioned to become part of Dubai’s next major growth story.

Adil Taqi, CEO of BEYOND Developments, described The Yards as a major commitment to a district where scale, connectivity, and limited quality supply are creating a compelling long-term investment opportunity. He emphasized that the project reflects BEYOND’s strategy of anticipating demand rather than simply following it, bringing nature-led and design-driven living to locations the company believes will define the UAE’s urban future.

His statement also highlighted the structural strength of Dubai’s property market, supported by sustained population growth, major infrastructure investment, strong governance, and the city’s continued ability to attract global talent, businesses, and capital. For BEYOND, The Yards is not only a real estate project, but also a statement of confidence in Dubai’s continued rise as one of the world’s most dynamic urban markets.

The masterplan’s first residential cluster, Arancia Yards, introduces 272 residences across three low-rise buildings. The cluster will include one, two, and three-bedroom homes designed around a 4,200 square metre landscaped sunken garden, creating a social and experiential heart for the community. In addition, Arancia will feature 3,000 square metres of rooftop terraces and more than 2,000 square metres of retail and food and beverage space integrated at ground level.

This low-rise, landscape-first approach gives Arancia a distinct identity within Dubai’s premium residential offering. Rather than focusing only on height and scale, the project places emphasis on human-scale living, walkability, open-air experiences, and a stronger relationship between architecture and nature. It is a model designed for residents who want the energy of Dubai while still enjoying a calm, community-focused environment.

Ramzi Rahal, Chief Development Officer of BEYOND Developments, said Arancia represents the first expression of The Yards vision. According to him, the cluster introduces a low-rise, nature-led community built around wellbeing, connectivity, and everyday quality of life. He noted that enduring communities are created when people and nature are placed at the centre of the living experience.

The Yards also strengthens BEYOND’s growing portfolio across some of the UAE’s most significant real estate locations. The company has already established a presence in waterfront destinations such as Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Islands, and Dubai Maritime City, as well as in Ras Al Khaimah. With The Yards, BEYOND adds a major inland Dubai destination to its development pipeline, expanding its reach across different geographies and residential typologies.

Connectivity remains one of the project’s strongest advantages. The destination offers access to Dubai International Airport within approximately 25 minutes and Al Maktoum International Airport within approximately 38 minutes. As both airports continue to grow and Dubai strengthens its position as a global business and travel hub, developments located along major future corridors are expected to gain increasing relevance.

The launch of The Yards arrives at a time when Dubai’s real estate market continues to attract international investors, end-users, entrepreneurs, and families seeking long-term value. With its AED 4 billion scale, nature-led masterplan, and strategic location, The Yards is set to contribute to the next chapter of Dubai’s urban expansion. For Dubai, a city constantly redefining what modern living can look like, The Yards represents more than a new residential project. It reflects a deeper movement toward integrated communities where design, landscape, connectivity, and quality of life come together. Through The Yards and Arancia, BEYOND Developments is positioning itself at the forefront of this evolution, helping shape a destination that could become one of Dubai’s most important new residential addresses.
