Boulevard Park 1

Six buildings from 5 to 36 storeys set on two shared podiums

Boulevard Park 1 is more than just two towers. Each one is actually made up of three buildings of very different heights, linked by a shared ground floor. The tallest section rises 36 residential storeys, while the shortest tops out at 5. The developer, state-owned Wasl, is building the scheme within the Wasl Gate master community, on the former site of Jebel Ali Village, between Sheikh Zayed Road and the district's future central park. Handover is set for 5 May 2030, giving the neighbourhood roughly four years to fill in around the project before completion.

Tower A reaches 36 storeys, Tower B tops out at 19

The two towers are not built to the same scale. Tower A combines three volumes of 5, 36 and 20 residential storeys, while Tower B is limited to 5, 19 and 13 storeys. This stepped profile avoids the uniform block look common on projects of this size. The facades work with clean vertical lines, articulated massing and planted terraces. For buyers, the height difference matters in practice: a unit in Tower A's 36 storey volume will not offer the same views or exposure as an apartment in the 5 storey wing, which feels closer to a low rise building set around a garden.

Studios to three bedrooms, a wide mix

The scheme covers the full standard range: studios, one, two and three bedroom units. This mix is aimed at two different groups. Studios and one bedroom units target young professionals working near Jebel Ali, the JAFZA free zone or Dubai South, who are priced out of Dubai Marina. Two and three bedroom units are geared more toward expat families, who care more about the park, the kids' club and the two separate pools than about the address itself. Buy to let investors should choose their unit type based on the building: the lower volumes around the garden suit families better, while the higher floors work best for single tenants or couples.

Energy Metro and Sheikh Zayed Road within walking distance

The complex sits close to Energy station on the Red Line. Sheikh Zayed Road can be reached on foot, which is unusual for a family oriented residential project in this part of the city. By car, Dubai Marina and JBR are about 15 minutes away. Al Maktoum International Airport, in Dubai South, is roughly 25 minutes away, and Dubai International Airport around 35 minutes. This position between the two airports carries real weight, since Al Maktoum is expected to eventually take on the bulk of DXB's traffic.

A sunken garden and a park right at the door

The list of amenities runs long, but three stand out. The first is direct access to the large park surrounding the complex, with its walking and jogging paths, lawns and picnic areas. The second is the sunken garden, dug below ground level with recessed seating, creating a quieter space than the pool deck. The third is aimed at children: a dedicated pool, an indoor play area, an outdoor play area and a kids' club. On the fitness side, there is an indoor gym and an outdoor gym, plus an indoor multipurpose space and changing rooms. Cafes, restaurants and shops on the ground floor open onto the retail boulevard.

Wasl and a completion date set for May 2030

Wasl is one of Dubai's largest landlords and holds a very large rental portfolio across the emirate. The group is also behind Avenue Park Towers 2 in Al Kifaf, which shows it is repeating the same formula: residential towers built around a park. Boulevard Park 1 is sold freehold, meaning it is open to foreign buyers as full ownership. The May 2030 handover date places this project among the furthest out completion dates currently on the market. For investors, that means a long holding period before the first rental income, but also a chance to get into Wasl Gate before the park and the boulevard are finished.
