Lyra at Ghaf Woods Apartments by Majid Al Futtaim Dubai
Lyra at Ghaf Woods by Majid Al Futtaim offers 1 bedroom apartments from an indicated AED 1.19M in Wadi Al Safa 4, Dubailand. The tower holds 348 homes, of which 199 have 1 bedroom and 149 have 2 bedrooms, arranged over 20 residential floors above a ground level and 2 podium decks. An indicated 50/50 payment plan places half the price in the construction stage and half at handover. Global Village is the community's direct neighbour, and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) connects residents to the wider city.
Lyra Residence is recorded with the Dubai Land Department as project number 4520, and the registered developer is Majid Al Futtaim Ghaf Woods L.L.C. Both the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom plans also come in garden versions, which give buyers private outdoor space. Majid Al Futtaim has not fixed a public handover date, so treat the completion date in your Sale and Purchase Agreement as the binding one. Before paying a booking amount, confirm the project number, developer name and registration status through official DLD channels.
Choosing between a Lyra apartment and a villa elsewhere in Dubailand comes down to budget, upkeep and the kind of household you plan to live with or rent to. An apartment trades private land for a lower ticket and shared building management, while a villa gives you a plot and full control at a higher cost. The table sets the 2 side by side on the points that shape ownership costs and returns.
| Factor | Lyra Apartment | Dubailand Villa |
|---|---|---|
| What you own | Title to the unit plus a share of common areas | Title to the house and the plot beneath it |
| Entry budget | Lower ticket suited to a first purchase | Higher ticket set by plot and built up area |
| Upkeep | Owners association manages the building | Owner handles garden, exterior and pool repairs |
| Running costs | Service charge per sq ft of the unit | Community fee plus private maintenance bills |
| Outdoor space | Balcony plus shared community green space | Private garden and parking on the plot |
| Tenant profile | Singles, couples and small households | Families needing 3 bedrooms or more |
| Golden Visa | A single unit may fall short of AED 2M | A single villa purchase often crosses AED 2M |
