Citi Developers: Dubai projects, prices and buyer checks
Compare Citi Developers' Aveline, Allura, AGUA and ARYA pages, published prices and plans, then check the exact project, unit and contract evidence.

Citi Developers publishes Aveline and Allura in Jumeirah Village Circle, and AGUA and ARYA in Dubai Islands. Their starting prices and payment plans differ. Compare the projects below, then ask for a dated offer for the apartment you want. Sources: Citi's official site and its linked project pages, checked 9 November 2026.

Which Dubai projects does Citi Developers publish?
Citi lists these four Dubai projects. Its homepage also links AMRA; check that project's location separately.
| Project and official source | Published location / homes | Starting headline | Plan field | Published completion field |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aveline | JVC; studios and 1–3-bedroom apartments | AED 595,000 | 50/50 | 2027 |
| Allura | JVC; studios and 1–3-bedroom apartments | AED 619,000 | 50/50 | 2027 |
| AGUA | Dubai Islands; two towers, 122 apartments | AED 1.7 million | 50/50; separate 10% down-payment field | Q4 2027 |
| ARYA | Dubai Islands; 68 units | AED 1.9 million | 60/40 | Not stated |
These are developer headlines checked on 9 November 2026. Ask which units are available at those prices and what extra charges apply. Check the advertised completion date against your contract and DLD's project record.
For AGUA, ask which tower and unit you’re being offered. Check that the advertised amenities are included in that home’s specification.
Is this the same developer as City View Developments?
Keep the brands separate. The City View Developments profile covers the official CITYVIEW portfolio including Hyde and Mövenpick, while Citi's own site links the projects above. Check the legal seller on each agreement; similar brand names won’t tell you who you’re buying from.
Ask for the legal seller's name, registration reference and authority to sign your agreement. Our off-plan due-diligence checklist lists the documents to request.
How do you check a Citi project with DLD?
DLD's Project Status Enquiry, checked 9 November 2026, describes lookup by land number, project number or name through its website or Dubai REST. Start with the references supplied for the offered unit. Save the returned project identity and dated details, keeping any inspection date separate from the date you viewed the result.
| Record to request | Compare against | If it is missing or different |
|---|---|---|
| Registered project, plot and tower | Current official project result and the offer | Ask for the exact reference; do not select a near-name result |
| Legal developer and seller | Agreement and authority to sign | Ask the issuer to explain each role and supply supporting records |
| Unit and approved plan revision | Floor, layout, area, parking and specification | Request a single reconciled unit pack |
| Authorised payment arrangements | Unit instructions and independently confirmed project/account details | Resolve the beneficiary and project match before relying on instructions |
| Current programme and delivery clause | Official project evidence and actual contract | Keep forecast, certified completion and possession separate |
An inconclusive lookup does not prove non-registration. If identity is ambiguous, DLD's service card lists 8004488 for support, checked 9 November 2026.
What do 50/50 and 60/40 leave unanswered?
The AGUA page shows a 50/50 plan and a 10% down payment; the ARYA page shows 60/40, checked 9 November 2026. Ask when each instalment falls due and whether the reservation payment counts towards it.
Ask for the complete payment annex, reservation/refund wording, exact price, currency, offer expiry and itemised applicable charges. Match this with the draft agreement using our SPA guide. For space comparisons, the BUA and area guide explains why the same price-per-square-foot calculation needs the same area definition.
Fictional example: two offers carry “50/50”, but one balance is tied to a dated instalment and the other to a defined handover event. The ratio alone cannot tell you when cash is due. Ask each issuer to point to the clause that sets the due date.
For running costs, DLD's Service Charge Index, checked 9 November 2026, requires the project, use and year. Look up the rate for your building, then use the community-fee guide to separate that rate from utilities, optional services and an individual invoice. For document requests, use the official Citi site.
Also considering Siraj, Scala or Burj View? The Al Madar profile links their individual project descriptions.
For an offer under the Serene name, read the Serene company checks before relying on a portfolio claim.
If your shortlist includes Zoya Developments and its published projects, compare each unit’s seller, specification and payment annex with the Citi offer.
FAQ
Where are Citi Developers' Dubai projects?
The official pages place Aveline and Allura in JVC and AGUA and ARYA in Dubai Islands. Check the specific project, plot and tower reference for any offer.
What is the current starting price for a Citi apartment?
The four pages show different headlines, from AED 595,000 for Aveline to AED 1.9 million for ARYA on 9 November 2026. Ask which homes are available at those prices and what else you’ll pay.
Do all Citi projects have the same payment plan and handover?
No. ARYA shows 60/40, while the other three show 50/50. Its page doesn't state a completion date. Request each unit's own annex and delivery clause.
What if the project name doesn't match DLD's result?
Check the number, plot and tower with Citi. Ask DLD to explain any remaining mismatch before relying on the record; a similar name isn't enough.
