Velora Residence at Dubai Islands, Dubai by ATARA Development

Velora Residence is a boutique new launch by ATARA Development on Dubai Islands, the waterfront island district off the Deira coast. The mid-rise building rises over a ground floor, two podium levels, eight residential floors and a rooftop, with just 58 fully furnished homes made up of one- and two-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom penthouses. Its contemporary design in light neutral tones uses rounded corners, wide glass facades and deep open balconies to frame sea and island views on one of Dubai’s last beachfront islands.

One-bedroom apartments measure 857 to 1,080 sq ft, two-bedroom apartments 1,128 to 1,860 sq ft and the four-bedroom penthouses 2,915 to 3,402 sq ft. Every residence is handed over fully furnished. The rooftop holds a swimming pool, an outdoor cinema, a barbecue area and play areas for children and adults, while the podium adds a yoga area and Zen garden. Residents also get indoor and outdoor gyms, a recovery spa with treatment room, sauna and steam room, a kids’ club and a work lounge.

Prices start from AED 1.8 million for a one-bedroom and AED 2.3 million for a two-bedroom, with penthouses on request. The payment plan asks for 5% on booking, 32% during construction and 63% on handover, expected in Q1 2029, and resale is allowed after 30% is paid. An expression of interest of AED 37,000 secures priority access before the official launch. Waterfront Market is five minutes away, Dubai International Airport twelve minutes and DIFC and Downtown Dubai about 24 minutes. For buyers comparing island launches such as Meriva Shores, Velora offers a smaller, fully furnished alternative worth registering for early.
