Residential development sells out in under two weeks as developer expands its AED 1.2 billion portfolioZoya Developments has officially broken ground on Elinor by Zoya, its AED 104 million residential project in Dubai South, marking the start of construction less than two months after its launch and following a complete sell-out in under two weeks. The development attracted strong interest from both end users and investors, with all available units sold within two weeks of entering the market. The sales milestone was achieved through Zoya Developments’ exclusive partnership with First Prime Properties, reflecting growing demand for residential properties in Dubai South. The groundbreaking represents another milestone in the developer’s expansion across Dubai’s real estate market. Within two years of entering the emirate, Zoya Developments has established a portfolio of launched and pipeline projects valued at a combined AED 1.2 billion, spanning more than a dozen developments. The company’s rapid progression from sales launch to construction also reflects its emphasis on maintaining development momentum while expanding its residential portfolio. By commencing work on Elinor in less than two months, Zoya aims to reinforce its commitment to timely execution and disciplined project delivery. Dubai South remains a key focus of the developer’s long-term growth strategy. Through Elinor and other planned developments in the district, Zoya is strengthening its residential presence in an area expected to benefit from major infrastructure investments, including the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport and the continued development of Expo City Dubai. Designed to offer contemporary urban living, Elinor combines functional layouts, refined interiors and fully furnished residences with a comprehensive selection of lifestyle and wellness amenities. The project features fully furnished studio and two-bedroom apartments, catering to residents seeking modern, convenient homes as well as investors looking for opportunities in one of Dubai’s emerging residential destinations. Beyond the project's sales performance, the groundbreaking highlights Zoya Developments’ broader approach to growth, which combines new residential launches with construction progress and a focus on delivering communities aligned with changing lifestyle preferences and market expectations. As its portfolio continues to expand, the developer is seeking to strengthen its position in Dubai’s residential property sector through a combination of strategic locations, contemporary design and consistent execution across its developments. Elinor by Zoya is scheduled for handover in the third quarter of 2028.
