Dubai Land Department open dataAED 1,444/sqft (est.)
The DLD median for apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle is AED 1,591/sqft (as of 24 Sep 2026). This project's figure is our estimate from the starting price and the smallest unit, so it is not compared: the gap appears once the register shows this project's own sales or the developer states a price per sqft.

Where the figures come from, and what escrow means
We do not yet hold a DLD project registration number for Cello. An escrow account is a regulated account the developer cannot draw on freely: your payments go in and are released as building progresses. Escrow accounts and project registrations are published by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) on dubailand.gov.ae. Always check them, and pay into the escrow account only, before handing over a deposit. How to read the DLD register.

Cello: questions buyers ask
How much does Cello cost?
Prices at Cello start from AED 1,136,100 and reach AED 2,533,650 (about $309K) for studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes. Asking prices come from the developer and change without notice.
What is the price per sqft at Cello?
The asking price is around AED 1,444 per sqft, our estimate from the starting price and the unit sizes rather than a figure the developer has stated. Per-sqft prices vary by floor, view and finish within one building.
When is the Cello handover date?
Cello is expected to hand over in Q1 2027. The project is under construction. Handover dates are the developer's own estimate and off-plan projects can move, so confirm the current date in writing before you pay anything.
What is the Cello payment plan?
Cello is offered on a 10/40/50 plan: 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% at handover. Developers change plans between phases, so confirm yours before signing.
What is the Rendr Score of Cello?
Cello scores 71 of 100 on the Rendr Score, good, as of 24 Sep 2026. The score weighs seven factors: the price against what buyers paid in Jumeirah Village Circle according to DLD, the developer's record, the payment plan, location, resale, construction progress and the paperwork on file; 5 of the 7 are assessed here, 85% of the weight. Our opinion, not investment advice; every input is on this page.
Who is the developer of Cello?
Cello is being developed by Taraf. It sits in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai. You can see every project by Taraf we list, and how their asking prices compare with registered sales, on their page.
Can foreigners buy at Cello?
Cello is in a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home here outright rather than on a lease. Dubai sets which zones are freehold; confirm the title type on your own unit's contract before paying.
Is Cello registered with DLD?
We do not yet hold a project registration number for Cello. Every off-plan project must be registered and sell through an escrow account, where the money is released as building progresses. Check both at dubailand.gov.ae before you pay.
