About Cilia

Low-Rise Architecture & Layout

Cilia comprises 10 low-rise residential buildings arranged as ground-plus-five (G+5) structures, delivering a total of 546 apartments. The building count includes named towers such as Cilia Tower 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10, positioned around a shared landscaped core rather than stacked into a single high-rise footprint.

The low-rise format keeps each building within walking distance of the central amenity spine, a deliberate design choice that favors pedestrian movement over vehicle-dependent circulation within the development.

Landscape & Wellness Amenities

The masterplan is organized around a forested amenity corridor rather than a conventional podium layout. Facilities mapped across the site include a gym, forest play areas, an outdoor fitness area, a forest bridge, wellness pools, a terraced garden, a viewing deck, a family pool, forest walk trails, an open lawn and a sloped forest access route.

This arrangement is built to support a range of everyday uses, from structured exercise to unstructured outdoor recreation, within a shared green network that connects the ten residential buildings.

Developer Background

Cilia is developed by Majid Al Futtaim Properties, the master-developer entity behind several integrated community projects in the UAE. The developer's approach centres on combining residential density with structured green infrastructure rather than isolated amenity blocks.

Funds for the project are held under an escrow arrangement with Emirates NBD Bank (PJSC), the standard mechanism used to protect off-plan buyer payments under Dubai Land Department regulations.

Project Status & Timeline

As registered with the Dubai Land Department, Cilia carries project number 3016, with construction status recorded as not yet started and a start date of 27 December 2024. No handover date has been disclosed publicly to date.

Buyers considering the project at this early stage should treat it as a ground-floor entry into the Dubai off-plan projects segment, with construction progress and pricing to be confirmed as the developer releases further details.

Location

Community Setting

Cilia sits within a Majid Al Futtaim-developed neighbourhood in Dubai, designed as a walkable enclave with its amenity network built into the site rather than added as an afterthought. The absence of a distinct sub-community name on record from the Dubai Land Department places Cilia as a standalone project within the developer's broader portfolio of integrated communities in Dubai.

The ten-building layout is compact enough that residents in any of the towers, from Cilia Tower 1 through Cilia Tower 10, can reach the shared forest and pool amenities on foot.
