Legacy by Sunrise, Arjan
Legacy by Sunrise is a residential apartment development by Sunrise Capital, located in Arjan, a mid-density district in southern Dubai. The area sits between Al Barsha to the north and the broader Dubailand corridor to the southeast. Arjan is not a waterfront or downtown address. What it offers is an established, functional residential environment with solid road connectivity, competitive pricing relative to more central districts, and a steady base of residents and investors.
A District Built Around Accessibility
Arjan connects to the wider city via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Dubai Marina sits roughly 20 minutes away by car, Downtown Dubai around 25 minutes, and the airport is reachable in under 30 minutes in typical traffic. For daily commuters, those are workable distances. Arjan is primarily residential in character and suits people who commute out for work rather than walk to it. Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Butterfly Garden are major tourist attractions close by. Their presence has made Arjan a recognizable district and a draw for short-term rental investors seeking demand beyond residential tenants. The area attracts two distinct buyer types: end-users who want affordable, well-connected apartments, and investors targeting rental income from a district with consistent visitor activity.
What AED 544K to AED 1.4M Buys You Here
Prices range from AED 544,360 to AED 1,440,867. That is a spread of nearly AED 900,000, wide enough to indicate a full unit mix across multiple bedroom categories. Studios and compact one-bedrooms sit at the lower end, providing entry points for investors focused on yield and first-time buyers stretching toward ownership. The upper end of AED 1.4M in Arjan buys size. A buyer at that level is likely looking at a spacious two-bedroom or a three-bedroom with meaningful floor area, at a price that central Dubai districts cannot match for equivalent space. That spread also reflects meaningfully different use cases. A studio suits an investor chasing yield from a smaller-ticket asset. A three-bedroom serves a family that needs livable space and sees Arjan's pricing as the way to afford more room than central Dubai allows. The range positions Legacy by Sunrise in the mid-market tier, serving buyers across very different budgets within one building.
Apartments Only
The project delivers apartments exclusively. For investors, that is a clean, single-asset-class structure: one property type, a consistent tenant profile, and a clear approach to management. For end-users, the range of apartment sizes means the project works as well for a young professional considering a studio as it does for a small family looking at a three-bedroom.
Paying 40% to Get In
The payment structure is front-loaded. The down payment is 40%, followed by 20% during construction and a final 40% at handover.
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 40% |
| During construction | 20% |
| Handover | 40% |
A buyer commits 60% of the full purchase price before receiving the property. On a lower-end unit, the down payment alone comes to around AED 218,000. At the upper end, that same 40% is approximately AED 576,000. The 40% due at handover is a substantial final payment with no post-handover installment plan to reduce it. The structure front-loads most of the cost before keys change hands.
Where the Project Stands Now
Construction on Legacy by Sunrise began in October 2022. The original expected completion was May 2024, a date that has now passed by more than two years. The project has most likely already been handed over. A buyer entering now is acquiring a completed or near-completed asset, not committing to a long construction horizon.
