BEYOND Developments has unveiled The Yards, a master-planned community in City of Arabia, marking the developer’s first inland project in Dubai. The company launched the development alongside Arancia, the first residential cluster within the masterplan, on 8 June 2026.
The Yards spans 2.3 million square feet of gross floor area and will deliver 1,560 apartments across one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations. The Mediterranean-inspired design is organised around a one-kilometre green spine, with 70 per cent of the total site given over to open landscape. BEYOND describes City of Arabia as a growth corridor with limited quality supply, and has priced the project’s total investment at AED 4 billion.
“The Yards is an AED 4 billion commitment to a district where scale, connectivity, and a genuine scarcity of quality supply are converging to create one of the most compelling long-term investment cases in Dubai. It is also a reflection of how BEYOND is growing deliberately, across emirates and across typologies, bringing our philosophy of nature-led, design-driven living to the locations we believe will define the UAE’s urban future. At BEYOND, we anticipate demand rather than follow it, and every masterplan we bring to market is an expression of that conviction. The fundamentals driving this market are structural, not cyclical: sustained population growth, world-class infrastructure, sound governance, and a leadership vision that continuously sets the global benchmark. BEYOND is not simply a developer operating in this market; we are a reflection of the confidence this market commands, and every masterplan we bring forward is our commitment to its continued ascent,” Adil Taqi, CEO of BEYOND Developments said in a statement.
The site sits within reach of Dubai’s planned metro expansion and offers road connections to Dubai International Airport within 25 minutes and Al Maktoum International Airport within 38 minutes.
Arancia Yards, the first cluster to launch, comprises 272 residences spread across three low-rise buildings. At its centre is a 4,200sqm sunken garden, flanked by 3,000sqm of rooftop terraces and more than 2,000sqm of retail and food and beverage space at ground level.
“Arancia is the first expression of The Yards vision, introducing a low-rise, nature-led community designed around wellbeing, connectivity, and everyday quality of life. It establishes the character of the wider masterplan and reflects our belief that the most enduring communities are those that place people and nature at the centre of the living experience,” Ramzi Rahal, Chief Development Officer of BEYOND Developments added.
BEYOND’s existing portfolio is concentrated on waterfront sites, spanning Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Islands, Dubai Maritime City and Ras Al Khaimah.
The Yards represents a deliberate move inland, extending the company’s geographic reach as it targets what it describes as high-conviction locations across the UAE’s urban landscape.
