About Laya Heights

Laya Heights is a contemporary residential building in Dubai Studio City, a community in the western part of the city known for its media and production hubs. Set just off Al Qudra Road (D63) with easy connectivity to Hessa Street (D61), it offers convenient access to neighboring Motor City, DAMAC Hills and wider Dubailand. Completed in 2024 by Akshara Global, the mid-rise development focuses on compact urban living with studios and 1‑bedroom apartments.

The building also offers a double‑height lobby with concierge, multiple high‑speed elevators, covered parking, CCTV security and on‑site maintenance. Day‑to‑day needs are well supported in the surrounding area, with supermarkets, cafés and essential services found across Dubai Studio City and nearby Motor City.
