Al Waleed Garden

TL;DR — Al Waleed Garden at a Glance A two-phase residential community by Al Waleed Real Estate LLC (founded 1994) in Al Jaddaf, Bur Dubai — walking distance from Al Jaddaf Metro Station (Green Line). Phase 1 delivers 154 apartments across 17 storeys with 1, 2 and 3-bedroom units (completed ~2019). Phase 2, Al Waleed Garden 2, adds a further 173 units including studios from AED 450,000 and 1-bedrooms from AED 900,000 (completed Q4 2023). Together the two buildings offer a full community amenity stack including swimming pool, gym, padel court, basketball court and running track, in a district transforming into Abu Dhabi's 'Urban Technology District' analogue for Dubai — with Al Jaddaf area yields running at 6–6.7% and prices up 9.2% year-on-year. --- Overview — A Two-Phase Community in Al Jaddaf Al Waleed Garden is a completed two-phase residential community in Al Jaddaf, the rapidly evolving Bur Dubai waterfront district bordered by Dubai Creek, Oud Metha Road and Al Khail Road. Developed by Al Waleed Real Estate LLC — a privately owned GCC developer established in 1994 — the community comprises two adjacent 17-storey residential towers positioned within the Dubai Healthcare City Phase 2 sub-zone of Al Jaddaf. Phase 1 — Al Waleed Garden was the original tower: 17 storeys, 154 apartments, offering 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units. The building achieved completion approximately Q3 2019 and has been fully occupied and managed since then. Phase 1 is sold out from the developer, with an active resale and rental market established. Phase 2 — Al Waleed Garden 2 is the follow-up tower: 17 storeys plus one basement level, 173 units (171 residential apartments and 2 retail units), delivering studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. Phase 2 construction commenced in March 2022, and handover was completed in Q4 2023 (October–December 2023). The tower was confirmed 100% complete by January 25, 2024. Phase 2 is also sold out from the developer, with a resale market now active. The two buildings share the same architect (Alajmi Engineering Consultants), the same developer, and the same amenity philosophy — creating a cohesive two-building community rather than two standalone towers. Both sit within the broader Al Jaddaf district, which is undergoing significant transformation under Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan, with a planned "Urban Technology District" (URB) targeting 4,000 new jobs by 2030. --- Location — Al Jaddaf, Bur Dubai Al Jaddaf (Arabic: "The Rower") is a mixed-use district in Bur Dubai, historically known as a traditional dhow-building hub on the western banks of Dubai Creek. The district spans approximately 7.3 square kilometres and sits within a triangle bounded by Dubai Creek, Oud Metha Road (E66), and Al Khail Road (D68). Al Waleed Garden sits within the Dubai Healthcare City Phase 2 sub-zone of Al Jaddaf.

The Jadaf Waterfront and Culture Village — a ~3 million square metre mixed-use waterfront district on Dubai Creek — sits immediately adjacent to Al Jaddaf, with Palazzo Versace Dubai and multiple F&B outlets along the Creek promenade. This waterfront leisure amenity is walkable from Al Waleed Garden. Al Jaddaf Investment Context (2024–2025):

Phase 2 adds one basement level for additional parking capacity. The architectural approach is contemporary functional residential: clean facades, efficient floor plate design, generous balconies on most units, and practical podium-level amenity placement. Both buildings are fully air-conditioned with central systems and equipped with multiple high-speed elevators.
