City Walk

City Walk is a premium mixed-use urban development by Meraas, located in the Al Safa and Jumeirah districts along Al Safa Street — one of Dubai's most central and strategically positioned corridors, sitting equidistant between Downtown Dubai, DIFC, Business Bay, and the Jumeirah coastline. The development spans approximately 8 million sq ft and comprises a carefully curated collection of mid-rise residential buildings, boutique hotels, open-air retail streets, restaurants, entertainment venues, and cultural installations — all organized around beautifully landscaped pedestrian boulevards and public plazas that give City Walk its distinctly European, human-scale urban character. City Walk is developed in two phases — City Walk Phase 1 and City Walk Phase 2 — with the broader masterplan also encompassing the adjacent Central Park at City Walk residential cluster, which extends the community's green and lifestyle offering significantly. In 2026, City Walk is one of Dubai's most mature and premium mixed-use residential destinations — a fully realized urban village that has delivered on its original promise of bringing sophisticated, walkable city living to the heart of Dubai.

City Walk offers a lifestyle that is genuinely unlike any other in Dubai — a neighborhood where you can walk out of your apartment door and within minutes be browsing independent fashion boutiques, sitting at a Parisian-style cafe terrace, dining at a Michelin-caliber restaurant, watching an art installation, or taking your children to an immersive entertainment experience — all without getting in a car. The open-air retail and dining boulevard at the heart of City Walk is Dubai's finest pedestrian street experience — beautifully designed, thoughtfully curated, and consistently buzzing with the energy of a community that actually uses and loves its public spaces. Citi Beach — City Walk's own private beach club — gives residents direct Arabian Gulf access within the community ecosystem, adding a coastal lifestyle dimension that most urban Dubai communities simply cannot offer. The Green Planet — City Walk's extraordinary indoor tropical biodome — and Mattel Play! Town add world-class family entertainment on the community's doorstep. City Walk's lifestyle is best described as cosmopolitan sophistication with genuine human warmth — a neighborhood that rewards residents who live it fully.

City Walk offers one of Dubai's most curated and complete urban amenity packages:

• City Walk Open-Air Boulevard — Dubai's finest pedestrian retail and dining street with 200+ premium outlets, restaurants, and cafes

• Citi Beach Club — City Walk's private beach club on the Arabian Gulf with pools, sun loungers, water sports, and dining

• The Green Planet — An extraordinary indoor tropical biodome housing over 3,000 plant and animal species — one of Dubai's most unique and celebrated family attractions

• Mattel Play! Town — Premium children's interactive entertainment venue

• Roxy Cinemas City Walk — Premium boutique cinema experience with luxury seating and dining

• Hub Zero — Immersive gaming and virtual reality entertainment destination

• Boutique Hotels — Paramount Hotel Midtown, The Holiday Inn & Suites City Walk, and La Ville Hotel & Suites within the development

• Fitness & Wellness — Warehouse Gym, multiple boutique fitness studios, and hotel spa facilities

• Safa Park — One of Dubai's largest and most beloved green parks directly adjacent to City Walk

• Supermarkets & Daily Essentials — Waitrose City Walk and specialty grocers within the boulevard

City Walk attracts one of Dubai's most stylish, culturally engaged, and internationally sophisticated residential communities. Residents are predominantly creative professionals, senior executives, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals who have chosen City Walk specifically for its design quality, pedestrian lifestyle, and the curated cultural experience it delivers — people who have lived in great cities around the world and recognize City Walk as Dubai's closest equivalent to the urban sophistication of a Marais in Paris, a Fitzrovia in London, or a SoHo in New York. The community is compact and intentionally boutique in scale — City Walk has never sought to be a mass residential destination, and its relatively limited residential supply reflects Meraas's commitment to maintaining the development's premium character and exclusivity. The result is a tight-knit, design-conscious, and socially active community where residents genuinely engage with their neighborhood — frequenting the boulevard's cafes and restaurants, attending events in the public plazas, and using Safa Park and Citi Beach as natural extensions of their daily lifestyle.

City Walk's central Jumeirah location gives it outstanding connectivity to all of Dubai's key destinations:

• Al Safa Street (D71) — Primary arterial road running through City Walk connecting to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl Road

• Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) — Approximately 5 minutes, providing full city highway access

• Al Wasl Road (D92) — Connects City Walk to Jumeirah Beach Road and the broader Jumeirah corridor

• Downtown Dubai & Burj Khalifa — Approximately 10 minutes by car

• DIFC — Approximately 10 minutes by car

• Business Bay — Approximately 10 minutes by car

• Jumeirah Beach Road — Approximately 5–10 minutes by car

• Dubai Marina — Approximately 20 minutes by car

• Dubai International Airport (DXB) — Approximately 20 minutes by car

• Al Maktoum International Airport — Approximately 40 minutes by car

City Walk does not currently have a Metro station within the development. The nearest Red Line stations are World Trade Centre and Financial Centre — approximately 10–15 minutes by car. The development's walkable internal environment significantly reduces car dependency for daily lifestyle needs within the community itself.

All City Walk properties are freehold and fully available to foreign buyers and international investors.

City Walk is one of Dubai's most resilient and design-premium residential investment destinations in 2026:

• Meraas brand premium — Meraas's reputation for delivering Dubai's most design-forward and lifestyle-rich developments commands a permanent resale premium and attracts the highest-quality buyer and tenant demographic of any mid-market luxury developer

• Absolute supply scarcity — City Walk is a bounded, fully master-planned development with a fixed and limited residential supply — no meaningful new competing supply can be added within the community footprint

• Citi Beach Club exclusivity — Private beach club access within an urban residential community is an exceptionally rare and permanently desirable amenity that commands a meaningful premium over non-beach urban alternatives

• Safa Park adjacency — Direct access to one of Dubai's largest and most beloved green parks is a permanent and non-replicable location premium

• Pedestrian lifestyle premium — City Walk's genuinely walkable open-air boulevard creates a lifestyle quality that is virtually unique in Dubai's residential market and that continues to attract a growing premium from buyers and tenants who have experienced walkable urban living internationally

• Central location resilience — City Walk's equidistant position between Downtown Dubai, DIFC, Business Bay, and the Jumeirah coastline gives it one of the most defensible location profiles of any residential community in Dubai

• Short-term rental potential — City Walk's extraordinary lifestyle offering, boutique hotel adjacency, and central location make it one of Dubai's strongest short-term rental performers for well-managed units

• Golden Visa eligibility — All City Walk properties above AED 2 million qualify buyers for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa
