About Celestia

DAMAC Properties built Celestia as one of its first projects in Dubai South, handing over both buildings in 2019. The two blocks sit side by side on the western side of the Residential District, close to GEMS Founders School Dubai South, and share a podium of leisure facilities above three basement parking levels.

Apartments were delivered furnished, with a choice of fitted equipment, which makes Celestia popular with investors who want a home that can be let quickly. The mix is weighted towards studios and one bedroom apartments, with a smaller number of two bedroom homes.

With hundreds of homes, steady tenant demand from the airport, logistics and Expo City workforce and a well known developer name, Celestia is one of the busiest buildings in Dubai South for both resales and new leases.
