City Walk Crestlane 2: Apartments and Duplexes in One of Dubai's Most Walkable Districts
City Walk Crestlane 2 is a residential project by Meraas Holding, located within the City Walk district in Dubai. It sits within the City Walk Crestlane cluster, which Meraas has been developing incrementally as part of the broader City Walk neighbourhood. The project offers a range of unit sizes across two buildings, from compact one-bedroom apartments to large four-bedroom duplexes.
What City Walk Actually Means for Daily Life
City Walk sits between Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, roughly equidistant from Downtown Dubai to the southeast and Dubai Marina to the west. The commute to Downtown runs around 10 minutes by car on a clear morning; Business Bay is similarly close. The district itself functions as a low-rise, pedestrian-oriented retail and residential zone, which is unusual in Dubai. Streets are walkable. Restaurants, cafes, and retail are ground-floor, not mall-based.
For someone using this as a primary residence, the practical upside is being able to walk to dinner or a supermarket without getting in a car. For an investor, City Walk draws short-term rental demand from visitors who prefer a neighbourhood feel over a hotel, and corporate tenants who want proximity to the business clusters along Sheikh Zayed Road.
A Price Spread That Tells You Something
Prices run from AED 2,600,000 to AED 16,300,000, and the gap reflects the unit mix rather than location premiums within the project. This is not a case where higher floors cost meaningfully more for the same product.
At the low end, 1-bedroom apartments from AED 2.6M at roughly 790–820 sq ft suit a single professional or a couple who want a City Walk address without committing to a large unit. Entry at AED 2.6M for a 1BR here puts you in a Meraas-built product in a walkable urban district.
2-bedroom apartments start at AED 3.2M, ranging from about 1,170 to 1,490 sq ft. These work well for small families or buyers who want a home office.
3-bedroom apartments start at AED 6M. The size range here is unusually wide: standard 3BR layouts run around 1,750–1,950 sq ft, while the double-height void variants reach 2,900–4,600 sq ft. The larger 3BR units approach duplex territory in terms of space.
At the top end, 4-bedroom duplexes start at AED 16.3M with ground-floor footprints around 4,600–4,990 sq ft. These are large-format residential units rarely found in a walkable urban setting in Dubai, which sets them apart from comparable-priced villas in more peripheral locations.
What the Unit Mix Offers
| Property Type | Bedrooms | Starting Price | Size Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment | 1BR | AED 2,600,000 | ~787–817 sq ft |
| Apartment | 2BR | AED 3,200,000 | ~1,169–1,493 sq ft |
| Apartment | 3BR | AED 6,000,000 | ~1,746–4,594 sq ft |
| Apartment | 4BR | AED 14,600,000 | ~4,638–4,819 sq ft |
| Duplex | 4BR | AED 16,300,000 | ~4,588–4,986 sq ft |
Facilities
| Category | Amenity |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Services | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
Indoor pools are less common than outdoor pools in Dubai; this one works year-round regardless of the heat. Combined with a full gymnasium, the wellness offering suits residents who want to use these facilities consistently. The restaurants on-site reduce the need to step outside during summer, though City Walk itself has extensive dining within walking distance. The children's play area, alongside the 2BR and 3BR unit sizes, makes this a credible family option.
Getting In for 20%
Two payment plan options are available:
Option 1:
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 55% |
| On handover | 25% |
Option 2:
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 35% |
| During construction | 40% |
| On handover | 25% |
Option 1's 20% down payment reduces the upfront capital requirement, with 55% spread across construction through to the December 2028 handover. Option 2 front-loads more at 35% down, but reduces the during-construction burden to 40%. Both plans land at 25% due on handover. There is no post-handover payment plan, so buyers need to clear their position in full at keys.
Three and a Half Years to Handover
Construction started in April 2025. Expected completion is December 2028, which puts the current entry point roughly 3.5 years from handover. For off-plan buyers, that means a meaningful capital deployment schedule through construction before the handover payment falls due. For investors buying to rent, the rental income clock starts in late 2028.
