In a significant move that underscores the robust growth of Dubai’s real estate sector, Meraas has announced the awarding of a monumental $120 million (AED 440 million) contract for the development of City Walk Northline, a premium residential project set to redefine urban living in one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The contract was awarded to GCC Contracting, with the project’s handover targeted for Q3 2027.
This development is a key part of the ongoing expansion of City Walk, a flagship urban lifestyle destination renowned for its sophisticated blend of retail, leisure, and residential offerings. The Northline project will introduce 304 new residential units across three elegant, eight-floor buildings, offering a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed to meet the highest standards of contemporary design and aesthetics.
A Closer Look at the City Walk Northline Project
The City Walk Northline development is strategically positioned between Jumeirah Street and Sheikh Zayed Road, placing residents within easy reach of Dubai’s most prominent landmarks, including the Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, Jumeirah Beach, and the Coca-Cola Arena. This prime central location is a critical factor driving high demand and strong investment returns in the area.
The project is divided into two main components —
- City Walk Northline 1: An eight-floor residence featuring 114 units
- City Walk Northline 2: Comprises two residential buildings of eight floors each, offering a combined 190 units

What’s in it for Investors?
For astute investors, the City Walk Northline project presents a rewarding opportunity with multiple attractive benefits —
- Strong Rental Yields: The City Walk area has demonstrated a proven track record of high rental yields. Data indicates that one-bedroom apartments in City Walk can offer an average ROI of 8.5%, with annual rents starting from AED 138,000. This high rental yield is a significant draw for investors seeking steady, passive income.
- Premium Price Appreciation: As a new launch in a prime location with limited supply, properties in Northline are poised for strong capital appreciation. Prices for apartments in the development start from AED 1.83 million. The premium lifestyle and limited land availability in such central districts consistently drive property values upward, making this a strategic long-term investment.
- Favorable Payment Plans: The developer offers accessible payment plans, which can require as little as a 20% down payment, followed by installments during construction, and a final payment upon handover. This flexible payment plan structure makes it easier for a wider pool of investors to participate.
- Residency Visa Eligibility: Investing in Dubai real estate opens the door to UAE residency visas. A standard visa is possible with investments starting from AED 750,000, while a 10-year Golden Visa is available for investments exceeding AED 2 million. This is a powerful incentive for international investors.
A Lifestyle of Luxury and Convenience
Beyond the numbers, City Walk Northline is designed to deliver an unparalleled living experience. The architecture features a sleek, minimalist exterior inspired by nearby landmarks like The Green Planet and Central Park. Residents will have access to world-class amenities, including —
- Infinity-edge pools
- State-of-the-art gyms and outdoor fitness spaces
- Private terraces with panoramic views
- Stylish communal spaces and lush green areas
The interiors are bathed in natural light and feature premium fixtures, floor-to-ceiling windows, and timeless finishes, creating a serene urban retreat.
