Creating destinations, not just buildings
Meraas specialises in comprehensive territorial development, designing not just individual buildings but entire districts that combine residential, retail, leisure, and cultural elements within a single, walkable environment. City Walk, which spans over 900,000 square metres, is home to more than 25 residential buildings, 214 retail outlets, 46 cafés and restaurants, and an array of entertainment venues, all thoughtfully connected by wide pedestrian boulevards.
This master planning approach creates inherently desirable locations that attract both residents and visitors, driving sustained demand and long-term value for property owners.
A portfolio of Dubai's most iconic addresses
Meraas has delivered a collection of projects that have become benchmarks for lifestyle living in Dubai. Bluewaters Island is a man-made development connected to JBR, offering luxury apartments and direct access to Ain Dubai, a 250-metre observation wheel and one of the city’s most visited attractions. Port de La Mer offers a Mediterranean-inspired community of apartments and townhouses on a private marina in Jumeirah.
The company has also developed La Mer, Dubai Harbour, Pearl Jumeirah, and Central Park at City Walk, each representing a distinct lifestyle proposition while sharing Meraas’s commitment to design quality, community integration, and prime location.
