Prices and payment plans
The eight studio listings I have start between AED 680,550 and AED 933,000. The headline starting price of AED 648,900 is lower than any of these, so ask which unit it applies to. I do not have the price list for one-, two- and three-bedroom units or duplexes. Ask Dani for the latest price list and floor plans.

Design and amenities
The developer describes a landmark lagoon on the podium, which it calls the largest podium lagoon in the UAE. The two towers are named Tiffany and Cyan. The developer also mentions timber veneer accents, engineered stone, marble-look flooring, smart home systems and equipped kitchens. It says the project is one of the first residential projects in the UAE to include AI-driven features.
The amenities listed include:
- Infinity pool with beach, kids pool, and surf and slide
- Indoor and outdoor gym, yoga zone, aerobics area, pilates studio and spa centre
- Outdoor and indoor cinema, games room, mini golf and golf simulator
- Co-working space, lounge and library, event hall and viewing deck with lounge
- Vertical garden, jogging track, bike lane, walking area, kids play area and prayer room
Location: City of Arabia
City of Arabia is a master-planned part of Dubailand, inland and away from the coast. It is a newer community, so some of the surrounding area is still being built. Check the current state of roads, shops and services on a site visit.
Distances from the project, as given in the data:
- IMG Worlds of Adventure: 1.3 km
- GEMS Winchester School Dubai: 2.3 km
- Cityland Mall: 7.9 km
- Downtown Dubai: 22.7 km
- Sufouh Beach: 26.2 km
- Dubai International Airport: 26.3 km
I have no drive times, and these will vary with traffic. The location may suit buyers who want a lower entry price than central Dubai and who are happy to be inland. It may also suit investors who want a smaller studio. See all off-plan projects in City of Arabia to compare.
Construction progress and handover
The DLD register shows construction started in December 2024 and was 5% complete at the time of the data. Expected completion is Q2 2028. That date is an estimate and can change.
Before you buy, check:
- The latest construction progress against the DLD figure.
- The handover date written into the sales and purchase agreement (SPA).
- The escrow account details for the project.
- The exact unit, floor, size and service charge.

How to buy off-plan in Laguna Residence
- Choose a unit and ask for the current price list, floor plans and payment plan.
- Reserve it by paying the booking amount, with the developer's reservation form signed.
- Sign the SPA once you have read the payment schedule and handover terms.
- Register the sale with the DLD through Oqood, the off-plan registration system. The DLD fee is 4% of the price, plus admin charges.
- Pay instalments into the escrow account. Dubai law requires off-plan buyer payments to go into a project escrow account, not to the developer directly.
- Handover happens when the building is complete and the final payment is due.
Foreign buyers can usually buy in designated freehold areas. A property worth AED 2 million or more may qualify for a Golden Visa, subject to current rules. Only some of the units here are priced above that level. Read the buying in Dubai FAQ for more.
