City Walk Crestlane 4

Every building turns its back on the street to face the water

City Walk Crestlane 4 follows one rule without exception: every facade looks onto the water features and landscaped gardens, never the road. Meraas is building two mid-rise towers here, one with twelve residential floors, the other with ten, each sitting above a basement and a ground floor with an accessible rooftop. The project forms the fourth phase of the Crestlane programme, developed along the southern edge of the City Walk district, facing Crestlane 5 across 13th Street. Handover is set for April 2030. The mix includes one to three bedroom apartments, alongside signature residences and three and four bedroom duplexes. All units are sold freehold.

Twelve floors on one side, ten on the other

The two towers aren't identical, and that detail matters for orientation and views. The first tops out at twelve habitable levels, the second stops at ten, which staggers the sightlines across the canals and gardens. The architecture leans on strong horizontal lines, panoramic glazing and stepped terrace volumes set against a backdrop of water and greenery. The interior layouts are designed to pull in natural light and frame water views from the living spaces. The three and four bedroom signature residences add double height living rooms opening onto wide private terraces, a feature the developer keeps for its largest layouts only.

City Walk Mall two minutes away, DIFC a quarter of an hour

Location is the main selling point of this phase. City Walk Mall sits two minutes away, Sheikh Zayed Road three, and both Jumeirah Beach and Dubai Mall can be reached in seven minutes. Dubai International Airport is eleven minutes out, the DIFC business district fifteen. The brochure tightens the figures further, placing Downtown Dubai at five minutes. This central position puts Crestlane 4 within a radius where residents can get by without relying entirely on a car, still a rare feature for a new Dubai project.

A double height entrance and a light filled lobby

The arrival sequence is treated as an experience in its own right. A raised drop off leads into a double height lobby framed by greenery and water features, set up to make an impression from the first step inside. Natural light runs through the hall and the surrounding greenery stays in view. The shared spaces keep a clear line between indoor and outdoor: a Community Lounge with sunken seating facing the pool, a Collaborative Suite with a library for quiet work, a sun filled Games Room for table games. The fitness studio splits cardio and strength areas, both opening onto water views.

Padel, tennis and outdoor cinema in the gardens

The outdoor programme goes well beyond a single pool. Residents get infinity pools, beach style pools and dedicated kids' zones with a splash pad and themed play areas. For sport, there are padel and tennis courts, jogging tracks winding through the greenery and separated cycling lanes. The Event Lawns host gatherings and celebrations, while an outdoor cinema rounds out the leisure offering. Waterfalls and water features run through the community, giving the shared spaces a constant background sound. A multipurpose space with direct park access adds even more to the list of activities on offer.

A developer well versed in Dubai's central addresses

Meraas delivers a project here that fits squarely with its portfolio, from Bluewaters Residences to BVLGARI Residences. The developer works in limited series on locations that already carry strong value, and City Walk is one of its master developments, a mixed use district combining international retail, restaurants and hotels. Crestlane 4 is aimed first at buyers who want a central base without giving up green space and water views. The target market spans young professionals drawn to the compact layouts and families looking at the four bedroom duplexes. With handover set for 2030, the timeline leaves several years of construction ahead, a factor to weigh into any off plan purchase decision.
