ZāZEN Properties Commences Handover Of ZāZEN Ivy As Demand For End-User Focused Communities Rises In Dubai

ZāZEN Properties has officially commenced the handover phase of ZāZEN Ivy in Al Furjan, marking another major milestone for the developer as it continues to deliver thoughtfully designed, sustainable communities in Dubai’s evolving residential landscape.

The handover marks another important achievement for ZāZEN Properties as the company continues to expand its portfolio of sustainable and community-focused developments across Dubai. Designed around wellness, functionality, and long-term livability, ZāZEN Ivy reflects the developer’s continued focus on creating liveable, high-quality homes designed for long-term residents, end-users, and investors in one of Dubai’s fastest-growing residential communities.

The development features spacious and Vastu-compliant residences, high-quality finishes, abundant natural light, and integrated green spaces, while also offering residents strong connectivity to key destinations across Dubai through its proximity to Gardens Metro Station, Sheikh Zayed Road, Ibn Battuta Mall, and Al Maktoum International Airport.

Speaking about the handover, Madhav Dhar, Co-Founder and CEO of ZāZEN Properties, said: “For us, handovers are a crucial phase of any project because that is when a development truly becomes a home and a community begins to take shape. At a time when buyers are placing even greater value on certainty and delivery, meeting key milestones and handing over homes remain among the most important ways we can build trust and create lasting value. And given the regional conflict over the last 3 months, it has been a challenge, but it has caused us to learn and find ways to keep our promise to our owner community”

Continuing to contribute to Dubai’s long-term growth story as a homegrown Dubai developer, we strongly believe in the city’s future, and projects like ZāZEN Ivy reflect our long-term commitment to building communities designed to grow alongside it.

Rising six storeys, ZāZEN Ivy is the company’s second LEED-certified development and builds on the success of previous projects, including ZāZEN One and ZāZEN Gardens. The project reflects the developer’s long-term approach towards creating environmentally conscious communities that balance quality, accessibility, and modern urban living.

Dubai’s residential market has continued to demonstrate strong momentum in 2026. Dubai recorded AED 252 billion in real estate transactions during Q1 2026 alone, marking a 31% year-on-year increase in value. Against this backdrop, Al Furjan continues to emerge as one of Dubai’s strongest end-user-driven residential communities, supported by expanding infrastructure, metro connectivity, and increasing demand for integrated community living. Recent market analysis places the average property value in Al Furjan at AED 1.9 million, with average prices reaching AED 1,413 per square foot and rental yields averaging 6.9% in 2026, reflecting sustained demand from both end-users and investors. The area has also maintained strong rental performance heading into 2026, with rental yields reaching up to 8.5%, reinforcing its growing appeal among long-term residents and investors seeking community-centric developments with long-term lifestyle value.

In-line with their other projects, investors in ZāZEN Ivy have benefited from the Developer’s high-quality and community-centric developments in the resale market. Investors have enjoyed between 18-25% capital appreciation and up to 60% Return on Equity invested, over the 24-month lifecycle of the project, as per Q1 2026 data.

Building on the successful delivery of ZāZEN Ivy, the developer is also continuing to expand its presence across Dubai’s emerging residential corridors through projects such as ZāZEN Acacia Residences in Dubai South. For the first time, ZāZEN Properties is introducing a 30/70 payment plan, with residences starting from AED 1.1 million, reflecting the company’s continued focus on accessibility, long-term value, and supporting Dubai’s growing residential community. Reinforcing its confidence in the market’s long-term trajectory, the developer remains committed to delivering future projects with the same focus on quality, community, and timely execution that has defined ZāZEN Ivy.

The project also aligns closely with Dubai’s broader urban development ambitions focused on sustainability, walkability, public transport integration, and community-centric living. As the city continues to evolve into a long-term destination for residents from around the world, demand is increasingly shifting towards developments that offer not only quality homes but also stronger lifestyle integration and lasting community value.
