Registered with the Dubai Land Department as Zoya One Real Estate Developments L.L.C.

Zoya's July 2024 entry: a family team and a three year plan

Khaleej Times (5 July 2024) and Arabian Business (9 July 2024) reported Zoya Developments' arrival as an Indian developer with a plan to invest more than AED 2 billion in Dubai over three years. Imtiaz Khan was named founder and managing director; Khaleej Times described him and Shoaib Khan as executive directors of the second generation of a business created under Farooq Khan, and Zoya's release placed it under the patronage of Columbia Group, chaired by Farooq Khan. Shoaib Khan, later chief executive, said Zoya would aim at first-time buyers.

The 2024 plan named a first project in Al Furjan with a projected 2026 handover, then Dubai Islands and JVT. That Al Furjan project is not named in the DLD data NAHY uses, so NAHY asks Zoya for its DLD project number before relying on any date.

Zoya's six DLD registrations, project by project

The DLD developer file counts six Zoya One projects with 729 units. Five appear by name in the 2026 launch register, below; the sixth, of 73 units, is not named in NAHY's data. Only Nuve and Elanora had passed the 50 sales that bring construction data into NAHY's file.

No Zoya project in Dubai is finished in the DLD data, so there is no handover record yet, and neither Nuve nor Elanora had passed its declared date by 29 October 2026. Miorah's Q2 2027 is Zoya's own target; the DLD date is the one your Oqood carries, so NAHY reads it before you sign.

Studios, furnished units and fast launches: what Zoya sells

Zoya's Dubai buildings are small and weighted towards studios. Nuve has 169 studios among 232 fully furnished homes by Zoya's count (the DLD lists 234 units); Miorah has 28 studios and 32 two bedroom apartments, all furnished. In October 2026 Zoya said all available units of Elinor by Zoya in Dubai South sold within two weeks, with handover set for the third quarter of 2028; NAHY could not match Elinor to a DLD entry by name. A week later Zoya unveiled Elvora in DLRC.

In the register, Nuve had 176 sales for 234 units by the end of September 2026 and none in October; Elanora had 54 for 117 by 29 October. Resales count as sales too, so NAHY asks Zoya what it can allocate rather than reading stock from the register.

Before signing with Zoya: the name on the contract, escrow and dates

1. The seller's legal name: Zoya One Real Estate Developments L.L.C, the company the DLD registers for Zoya's projects.
2. The DLD project number and escrow account: Nuve (4290) and Elanora (4459) pay into Emirates NBD escrow. For Miorah, Izel and Loriza, NAHY reads both from the contract.
3. The completion date in the contract against the declared date; Zoya's quarter targets and the DLD dates are not always the same.
4. The furniture schedule, in writing, where a home is sold furnished.
5. The Oqood in your name once the first payment clears.

When is Zoya's first handover in Dubai?

Zoya targets Q2 2027 for Miorah in Dubai South. Its 2024 plan gave 2026 for a first project in Al Furjan, which is not named in NAHY's DLD data; NAHY confirms the registered date with Zoya.
