Palace Group has launched AYA, an exclusive residential development in Jumeirah Garden City, blending intentional luxury, design and meaningful living
How does a property offer an architecture and design that caters to purposeful living? AYA, a new exclusive residential development in Jumeirah Garden City in Dubai, aims to provide a design-led sanctuary in the heart of Dubai through contemporary interiors, refined architecture with an abundance of open-air spaces and holistic living.
Launched by the Palace Group, a respected name in the UAE’s luxury real estate sector, the development has been thoughtfully designed by award-winning architects John McAslan + Partners and features just 70 thoughtfully designed one- and two-bedroom residences spread across 12 elegantly crafted floors. Residences feature open-air terraces, pockets of verdant landscape and spatial transitions between buildings to offer boutique-style residential living in the heart of Jumeirah Garden City.

Inside each residence the design journey continues with thoughtfully designed spaces created to encourage a sense of calm and reflection. Natural materials are incorporated alongside soft organic curves and an abundance of natural lighting to create welcoming and intuitive living environments connected to nature. The open-plan layouts of each space cater to versatility, allowing for both private and intimate areas as well as more communal spaces for collective gathering. At the same time, extended balconies provide moments for quiet escape.
AYA offers walkable, centrally connected living within one of Dubai’s rising, sought-after districts, providing easy access to Dubai International Financial Centre and Downtown Dubai with the calm of a thoughtfully planned residential community. As Dubai continues to develop, this new residence offers a harmonious escape within the heart of a bustling, ever-evolving metropolis.
