How Cello compares

Entry here is AED 1.1M, against a median of AED 694,000 across the 9 priced projects in District 18, which puts it above 7 of them and below 1. The plan opens at 10% down, against a Dubai median of 10%, in line with the market. Handover lands in Q1 2027, alongside 131 other projects completing in the same quarter. Taraf Properties has 12 projects in our catalogue.

Master plan

The developer’s own site plan for Cello, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.

What you pay, and when

The payment plan published at launch ran 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% at handover. Buying now means a resale from a private owner, on whatever terms the two sides agree.

The Dubai Land Department registration fee is 4% of the purchase price, payable on top: about AED 30,000 at this resale price. That 10% booking payment is not paid to Taraf Properties directly: Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 requires a registered project to hold it in a RERA-supervised escrow account, drawn down against certified construction progress.

What the entry price works out at

The cheapest unit with a published size is 733 square feet at AED 1,136,100, which works out at AED 1,550 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 452 to 5,078 square feet.

Ownership and residency

Cello is sold freehold, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The cheapest resale listed falls short of the AED 2,000,000 property threshold for the 10 year UAE golden visa, though 3 bedroom units here start at AED 2,533,650 and clear it on their own.

Who it suits

The development is apartments and penthouses in studio to 4 bedroom layouts. The developer has sold out, so anything available here is a resale from a private owner.

What is on site

Cello records retail facilities, cinema, cafe and restaurants, international school and landscaped parks among its shared facilities, alongside the gymnasium, children's play area, barbecue area and shared pool that most Dubai developments carry. 34 floor plans are published for it.
