About Candace Aster
Candace Aster is a freehold residential building in Al Furjan, Jebel Ali First, Dubai. Property research sources (propsearch.ae, bayut.com) both attribute the development to Azizi Developments. Construction began in March 2016 and was completed by September 2017, with Barajeel Engineering Consultants credited as the architectural consultant. The building rises 12 storeys and contains 227 units in total, registered with the Dubai Land Department as hotel apartments, a serviced-residence classification.
Bayut's building guide describes the original unit mix as studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Dubai Land Department transactions reviewed for this guide (via propsearch.ae) show recent sale activity concentrated in studio units, with one-bedroom units also present in the building's transaction history. Treat the full unit mix as a general guide: studios are the most consistently confirmed category in current transaction data, with one- and two-bedroom units also part of the building per Bayut's own building guide. Candace Aster is offered on a freehold basis, open to buyers of all nationalities, consistent with Al Furjan's status as a freehold community developed by master developer Nakheel.
Worth flagging for anyone comparing options nearby: Candace Aster is a distinct building from Candace Acacia, a separate Azizi Developments building roughly 100 metres away in the same pocket of Al Furjan. The two share a developer and a similar naming convention but are separate addresses with separate unit counts: Candace Acacia is the larger of the two at 316 units and was completed in November 2017, two months after Candace Aster's 227 units were finished.
Developer, storey count, unit count, unit mix and timeline are sourced from propsearch.ae's Dubai Land Department-linked building guide and checked against bayut.com's dedicated Candace Aster building guide. Both sources agree on developer and unit count (227) exactly. The site's original plot was intended for a different, since-cancelled development (Azizi Feirouz 2), per propsearch.ae; this is background project history, not a safety or incident disclosure.

Price Guide: Candace Aster
Dubai Land Department records show 50 sale transaction records for Candace Aster, of which the 10 most recent are visible without a paid subscription. Isolating genuine Sale-type records only, and excluding Mortgage Registration, Grant and a stale 2016-origin off-plan Pre-registration Sale record, four studio sales from April and July 2026 range from AED 515,000 (374 sq ft) up to AED 575,000 (840 sq ft), working out to roughly AED 685 to AED 1,470 per sq ft depending on unit size.
No Sale-type one- or two-bedroom transaction appears in the sample of records available without a paid data subscription, so a current confirmed sale price for those unit types cannot be stated here. Bayut's building guide, published in 2025, separately estimated one-bedroom sale prices averaging around AED 590,000 and two-bedroom units between AED 840,000 and AED 1,000,000, but these figures predate the 2026 transaction data above and should be treated as dated editorial estimates rather than current pricing. Per Bayut's building guide, service charges total approximately AED 15.07 per sq ft per year across the general fund categories, plus a separate AED 4.02 per sq ft charge for unit air conditioning.
DLD transaction figures are sourced from propsearch.ae's Dubai Land Department-linked transaction table (10 of 50 total records reviewed, dated Apr-Jul 2026). Mortgage Registration, a Grant-type commercial retail (shop) transaction and one 2016-origin Pre-registration Sale record were identified and excluded per the transaction-type filtering rule. No nominal-value pricing anomaly was found among the 4 genuine Sale-type records; all fall within a consistent AED 685-1,470 per sq ft range for their respective unit sizes.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Candace Aster's units are registered with the Dubai Land Department as hotel apartments, a serviced-residence classification. For a building in this category, short-term letting is typically arranged through the building's own management company rather than a standalone owner DTCM/DET application.
Al Furjan is not currently among Royale Stays' core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so no earnings figures or managed-listing history are implied for this specific building. Owners of a comparable Dubai freehold apartment elsewhere in Royale Stays' core managed areas can enquire about the company's standard short-term rental management services, which start from a 15% fee and cover furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications and maintenance. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for how the permit process generally works.
