Palace Group Launches AYA in Jumeirah Garden City

  • Jan 07,2026

Palace Group, a respected name in the UAE’s luxury real estate landscape, has announced the launch of AYA, a boutique residential development located in the heart of Jumeirah Garden City. Designed as a refined urban sanctuary, AYA responds to the evolving expectations of modern homeowners who seek more than opulence—homes that offer balance, intention, and a deeper sense of wellbeing within Dubai’s dynamic city fabric.

Conceived as a design-led residential address, AYA reflects Palace Group’s commitment to creating spaces that prioritise quality over excess. Guided by the philosophy “less to show, more to live,” the development has been designed by the internationally acclaimed John McAslan + Partners, whose architectural approach emphasises restraint, authenticity and timeless form. The result is a residential experience rooted in quiet sophistication, where architecture supports daily life rather than overwhelming it.

AYA is an intimate collection of just 70 one- and two-bedroom residences spread across 12 elegantly crafted floors, offering a rare sense of privacy in a central location. Open-air terraces, landscaped green pockets and carefully planned spatial transitions define the project’s character. Each element is thoughtfully composed to encourage calm, reflection and connection, shaping a lifestyle where luxury feels effortless and deeply personal.

Inside the residences, the focus on intentional design continues. Natural materials, soft organic curves and generous daylight create warm, intuitive living environments that feel both contemporary and enduring. Open-plan layouts allow spaces to adapt seamlessly from private retreat to social setting, while extended balconies provide moments of quiet escape. Acoustic comfort, spatial flow and visual harmony are carefully considered, ensuring that every home supports both relaxation and everyday functionality.

Strategically positioned within Jumeirah Garden City, AYA benefits from one of Dubai’s most promising emerging masterplans. The district is defined by mid-rise architecture, landscaped corridors and pedestrian-friendly streets, offering the calm of a thoughtfully planned neighbourhood with the convenience of central city living. With close proximity to DIFC, Downtown Dubai, and major business and leisure hubs, AYA presents a compelling opportunity for homeowners and early investors seeking long-term value in a future-forward urban community.

Commenting on the launch, Wissam Damaa, Founder and Owner of Palace Group, described AYA as a human-centred residential vision shaped by longevity and wellbeing. Drawing on the developer’s proven track record in delivering high-quality projects, AYA is positioned as a distinctive alternative to conventional ultra-luxury—one that prioritises authenticity, design integrity and enduring appeal. The development reflects Palace Group’s broader mission to create homes that residents genuinely connect with, while contributing meaningfully to the neighbourhoods they inhabit.

AYA’s amenities further reinforce its philosophy of mindful living. Residents are welcomed through an elegant arrival sequence that flows into a curated art gallery, setting a refined tone from the outset. Select retail boutiques introduce moments of discovery, while wellness and social spaces take centre stage on the rooftop. Here, residents can enjoy a serene swimming pool, state-of-the-art gym, calming spa and a beautifully designed lounge, all framed by sweeping city views. Outdoor spaces balance privacy and interaction, from an al fresco dining terrace to softly landscaped gardens shaped by organic forms and gentle planting.

More than a residential building, AYA is designed as a living environment that evolves with its residents. It offers space for solitude, connection and longevity—an address where lifestyle, architecture and purpose come together with clarity. Scheduled for completion in 2027, AYA stands as a thoughtful addition to Dubai’s luxury residential market, redefining modern living through restraint, intention and a genuine sense of belonging.
