What wasl properties actually sold
Source: DLD registered sales, Jan–Jul 2026, our own aggregation. Projects are matched to the developer by registered project name, verified against the registered area — figures cover what actually changed hands, not asking prices. Headline figures count homes only (apartments, villas and townhouses); land plots are reported separately.

Where it sells
Who they are
The asset-management arm of Dubai Real Estate Corporation, government-owned, and one of the largest landlords in Dubai across residential, commercial and hospitality. It develops selectively rather than continuously: the wasl Gate community beside Festival Plaza in Jebel Ali, and the wasl1 district at Al Kifaf next to Zabeel Park, where Park Gate Residences stands.
wasl is a leasing giant first and a seller second, and that shows in how narrow the choice is: every home it registered in Jan–Jul sits either in wasl Gate at Jebel Ali or in Park Gate Residences at Al Kifaf. Eight in ten were studios or one-beds and the median landed just above AED 1M. Compact stock and a government-owned counterparty — but if neither of those two addresses suits you, there is no third option.

Common questions
How many properties did wasl properties sell in Dubai in 2026?
The Dubai Land Department registered 142 home sales in wasl properties projects between January and July 2026, totalling AED 177.7M. The median registered price was AED 1,089,373 at 1,434 AED per sqft, and 85% of sales were off-plan. A further 5 registrations were land plots, which we report separately rather than mixing into the price above. Most of that volume sits in Jabal Ali First (121 registrations), Al Kifaf.
Is wasl properties expensive compared with the rest of Dubai?
Its median works out at 1,434 AED per sqft against a citywide median of AED 1,720 per sqft across 77,666 registered apartment sales in Jan–Jul 2026. The median wasl properties deal was AED 1,089,373; the largest single registration in the period was AED 3,850,000. In percentage terms that is 17% below the citywide apartment median — useful context when a sales office says a launch is priced «at market».
Which wasl properties projects sell the most?
By registered sales in Jan–Jul 2026: Hills View at Wasl Gate (121), Park Gate Residences (21). High transaction counts mean easier resale, but also more competing units when you exit. The leading project alone accounted for 85% of wasl properties's Jan–Jul registrations — in effect, most of the pipeline is one address.
Can a non-resident buy from wasl properties remotely?
Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase in Dubai's freehold zones without residency, and the deal is registered with the DLD in dirhams — a power of attorney allows the whole process to be done without flying in. Purchases at or above AED 2M can qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa. wasl properties's median registered price of AED 1,089,373 sits below the AED 2M Golden Visa bar, so a single median unit qualifies only for the 2-year property-owner visa — Dubai abolished its minimum value in 2026.
Where do these numbers come from?
From individual sales registered with the Dubai Land Department (open data), January–July 2026, aggregated by us. Projects are attributed to the developer by their registered project name and checked against the registered area. These are prices buyers actually paid, which usually sit below portal asking prices. These are registrations, not launch-day «sales»: a project that sells out at launch appears here only as buyers complete DLD registration, which is why our counts can differ from press releases.
