Lacina Residences

Lacina Residences is an off-plan residential project by Majid Al Futtaim, located within Ghaf Woods — Dubai's first forest-centric master community in Dubailand. The project is part of the second phase of Ghaf Woods, announced in Q1 2025. Majid Al Futtaim is one of the UAE's most established developers, responsible for projects like Mall of the Emirates and the City Centre retail portfolio.

Lacina offers 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments as well as 3-bedroom duplexes with private pools. Apartment sizes range from 675 sq. ft to 3,246 sq. ft, while duplex units range from 678 sq. ft to 3,239 sq. ft. Every unit includes a balcony and laundry room, and select 2-bedroom apartments feature a maid's room.

Prices at Lacina Residences start from AED 1,300,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment. The project offers a 60/40 payment plan, meaning 60% is paid during construction and 40% on handover in Q4 2028. This structure makes entry more manageable compared to full upfront payment schemes.

Lacina Residences is scheduled for handover in Q4 2028. The project is currently off-plan, with construction underway as part of the broader Ghaf Woods master development. The wider Ghaf Woods community is expected to complete in phases through 2027–2028.

Residents have access to a wellness center and spa, swimming pools, forest edge pools, fitness areas, and a 2.2-mile mountain bike trail. The community also features luxury dining, agricultural plots, a forest experience center, retail outlets, a playroom, playground, and a dedicated pet park. These amenities are integrated into the forest setting of Ghaf Woods.

Lacina Residences is located within Ghaf Woods in Dubailand, Dubai. Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai International Airport are all approximately 25 minutes away by car. Schools including Ranches Primary School and Jumeirah English Speaking School, as well as Mediclinic Arabian Ranches and Global Village, are within a 10–20 minute drive.

1-bedroom units in Dubailand recorded an average ROI of 6% as of Q1 2025, making Lacina a competitive option for buy-to-let investors. Annual rental prices in the area start from AED 48,000 and are expected to increase as Ghaf Woods matures and attracts more residents. Buyers also qualify for a UAE residency visa — either 2-year or 10-year Golden Visa depending on investment value.

Yes, purchasing a unit at Lacina Residences can qualify buyers for UAE residency. A 2-year investor visa is available for qualifying purchases, while the 10-year Golden Visa applies to investments meeting the AED 2M threshold. The 10-year visa can also be extended to domestic staff, offering a comprehensive residency benefit for families and investors alike.
