Cybele by Wadan vs Peace Lagoons II

Same district, same handover month, same unit type, and 12% between them per square foot. Neither appears in the register data we hold, so escrow is the thing to settle before the price.

The short answer

Cybele is 10% cheaper per square foot and has 60% more recorded sales behind that figure, which makes it both the better price and the better-evidenced one. Neither project appears in the register data we hold, so for either purchase the decisive step is confirming the escrow account with the Land Department on the day you transfer. Note also that the register carries two separate Peace Lagoons entries — make sure the phase you are buying is the one you are pricing.

Twelve per cent, with the better-evidenced price on the cheaper side

Cybele by Wadan transacts at a median AED 1,433 per square foot across 218 recorded purchases. Peace Lagoons II transacts at AED 1,598 across 136. Cybele is about 10% cheaper for the same space, and it has roughly 60% more sales behind its median.

That combination is unusual and worth noting. Normally the building with more recorded demand carries a premium for it. Here the cheaper building is also the more heavily transacted, which means Cybele's figure is the more reliable of the two and the discount is not being explained by thin data.

On headline price the ordering reverses slightly — AED 852,254 at Cybele against AED 800,000 at Peace Lagoons II — because Cybele's recorded sales include a wider spread of larger units, with 29 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom purchases. Both remain studio-led, at 113 and roughly two-thirds of sales respectively.

Cybele: AED 1,433/sqft across 218 sales. Peace Lagoons II: AED 1,598 across 136.

The register carries two different Peace Lagoons

This is the practical trap in this comparison. The Land Department register holds two separate entries: Peace Lagoons by Peace Homes, with 68 recorded sales at a median AED 1,093,683 and AED 1,491 per square foot, and Peace Lagoons II by Peace Homes, with 136 sales at AED 800,000 and AED 1,598 per square foot.

They are different phases with genuinely different numbers — the first phase is one-bedroom-led and the second studio-led — and their medians must not be blended. A median of two medians is not the median of the combined sales, so any figure that averages them is invented.

This page prices Peace Lagoons II specifically, because it is the studio-led phase and therefore the one that compares to Cybele. If you are being shown a unit in the first phase, the relevant figures are AED 1,491 per square foot and a median purchase of AED 1,093,683. Ask which phase your unit sits in before you accept any price comparison, including this one.

Phase I: 68 sales, AED 1,491/sqft. Phase II: 136 sales, AED 1,598/sqft. Different products.

Same handover month, same missing escrow confirmation

Both projects are quoted for December 2027 handover, so neither offers a timing advantage and both complete into the same district in the same month alongside each other.

Neither appears in the register data we hold, which now covers registrations from 2013 onward. That is not proof that either lacks an account, and you should not read it that way; projects are commonly missing because the register names them differently. It does mean this page cannot confirm it.

In Dubai Land Residence Complex this deserves more weight than in most districts. It is one of the cheapest entry points in Dubai, which concentrates first-time buyers and smaller developers in the same place, and the escrow account is the mechanism protecting deposits in exactly that situation. Get the account number from the Land Department, pay into it and nothing else, and treat a developer's reluctance to provide it as the answer to your question.

Questions people ask about this comparison

Which is cheaper, Cybele by Wadan or Peace Lagoons II?

Cybele, by about 10% per square foot — AED 1,433 against AED 1,598 — and its figure rests on 218 recorded sales against Peace Lagoons II's 136. On headline price the order reverses slightly (AED 852,254 against AED 800,000) because Cybele's sales include more large units. Data read 24 August 2026.

Are there two different Peace Lagoons projects?

Yes, and it matters. The register carries Peace Lagoons (68 sales, AED 1,491/sqft, one-bedroom-led) and Peace Lagoons II (136 sales, AED 1,598/sqft, studio-led) as separate entries. Their medians must not be averaged. This page prices phase II. Confirm which phase your unit is in before accepting any price comparison.

When do they hand over?

Both are quoted for December 2027, so neither has a timing advantage. They complete into the same district in the same month, which means they will also be competing with each other for tenants and resale buyers.

Do either have an open escrow account?

Neither appears in the register data we hold. That does not prove either lacks one, but it cannot be confirmed from published data. Get the account number from the Land Department for your specific project and phase, pay into that account only, and treat any reluctance to provide it as a warning.

Which has more buyers behind its price?

Cybele, with 218 recorded purchases against Peace Lagoons II's 136. That is unusual, because the more heavily transacted building is normally the more expensive one. Here the cheaper building also has the better-evidenced price.
