About Laurel

Building Specification & Scale

Laurel is a single residential tower in City Walk comprising basement, ground, 11 upper floors and a roof level. The DLD-registered structure has a reinforced concrete frame with block infill and delivers both internal and external finishes as part of its handover specification. With 218 total units across the building, the project offers a concentrated, managed community rather than a sprawling complex.

Unit configuration spans 1-bedroom apartments from approximately 678 sq ft (suite area) up to 3-bedroom types at 1,914 sq ft suite, with total areas — including balconies — reaching 3,049 sq ft on the largest 3-bedroom plan. The two penthouse typologies occupy levels 9–11 and range from 6,332 sq ft to 9,191 sq ft in total area, each with oversized wraparound terraces.

Unit Mix & Floor Plan Variety

The brochure documents an extensive typology matrix: eight sub-types of 1-bedroom (678–919 sq ft total area), six 2-bedroom series (1,190–1,873 sq ft), and nine 3-bedroom configurations (1,632–4,281 sq ft). Four-bedroom apartments (2,959–3,264 sq ft) occupy ground and mid-floor plates, while the two penthouse types — Type A at 9,191 sq ft and Type B at 6,332–6,356 sq ft — are positioned on the upper levels with dedicated lift provisions.

Most 2- and 3-bedroom layouts incorporate a maid's room with ensuite, powder room, utility space and walk-in closet as standard elements. The 1-bedroom B-series adds a separate powder room and closet absent from the A-series, reflecting a meaningful step-up in specification within the same bedroom count.

Balcony & Outdoor Area Design

Balcony sizing is a distinguishing feature across typologies. The 1-bedroom A.1 configuration carries an 8.50 m × 1.80 m balcony — 170 sq ft of external space relative to a roughly 678 sq ft suite. The 3-bedroom A.1 penthouse-adjacent type features a 28.10 m linear balcony, while the Penthouse Type A wraps a 23.0 m × 11.0 m terrace totalling over 4,000 sq ft of outdoor area. These proportions are atypically high for a mid-rise residential tower and reflect the building's City Walk street-level and skyline orientation.

Developer & Project Context

Laurel is developed by Meraas, the Dubai master-developer responsible for City Walk, Bluewaters, and La Mer. The project sits within City Walk — Meraas's mixed-use urban retail and residential district in Al Wasl — and is registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 2451, commenced in November 2022 with a scheduled completion of December 2025. As of the DLD data snapshot, the project is 62.44% complete. Escrow is held with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. With its premium developer background and strategic location, Laurel adds value to buyers exploring off plan projects for sale in City Walk and other exclusive waterfront investment opportunities in Dubai.
