Thyme is a G+9 residential building designed by CallisonRTKL as Lead Consultant, with interiors by Lulie Fisher Design Studio and architecture of record by WME Global. The concrete-frame structure sits on Plot 5.05 within the Central Park at City Walk master community, offering 148 apartments across ground, nine upper floors, and a roof level. The building mixes retail at ground level with residential units above — a configuration typical of City Walk's pedestrian-friendly urban grain.
Unit typologies span 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom apartments across multiple sub-types per bedroom category. Measured total areas for 1-bedroom units range from approximately 763 sq ft to 986 sq ft; 2-bedroom units from approximately 1,208 sq ft to 1,592 sq ft. Each layout includes a dedicated utility area, balconies, and — in larger configurations — a maid's room with ensuite, powder room, and walk-in closet.
Thyme is one of several residential buildings within the Central Park at City Walk master development by Meraas. The community is built around a shared park spine that includes pools and water play areas, a running track, a dog park, multi-use sports lawns, tennis and squash courts, a half-court basketball area, a skateable landscape, outdoor gym and fitness stations, a spa and sauna, yoga and meditation zones, picnic pavilions, outdoor barbeque areas, a nursery, function rooms, and an events area.
The design intent is to integrate park-facing amenities at the base of each residential building, reducing reliance on private car use and encouraging residents to move through the green network on foot. This positions Thyme as a walkable urban address where daily recreational needs are met within the immediate neighbourhood rather than requiring travel to external facilities.
Meraas is a Dubai-based master developer with a portfolio that includes Bluewaters Residences, City Walk Residences, Port de La Mer, Nikki Beach Residences, and BVLGARI Residences. The company has consistently delivered mixed-use destinations that combine residential, retail, hospitality, and leisure within a single urban framework. Thyme continues this pattern — it is part of a larger Central Park plot cluster (plots 5.01 through 5.12) rather than a standalone building, which provides buyers with built-in community infrastructure from day one.
City Walk is positioned between Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, two of Dubai's primary arterial corridors, providing direct access to the DIFC, Downtown Dubai, and Jumeirah Beach within a 10–20 minute drive. The neighbourhood hosts established international retail, gourmet dining, the Coca-Cola Arena, and multiple hotel brands, generating consistent footfall that supports both owner-occupier demand and short-term rental yield. With its prime location and lifestyle-driven appeal, investors looking to buy property in City Walk Dubai can benefit from strong demand, premium amenities, and long-term value potential in one of Dubai’s most sought-after urban destinations.
With DLD construction completion recorded at approximately 51% as of the most recent update and a project start date of August 2023, Thyme is an active under-construction asset. The 148-unit scale keeps supply constrained relative to larger City Walk towers, and the park-fronting position within Central Park — as opposed to street-facing units — is a differentiator within the sub-community.
Thyme sits between Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, two of Dubai's primary arterial highways. City Walk Mall is accessible on foot in approximately 1 minute. Dubai International Airport is approximately 15 minutes by car, Al Maktoum International Airport approximately 50 minutes, Dubai Marina around 20 minutes, and La Mer Beach roughly 15 minutes. The Coca-Cola Arena and Jumeirah Beach are both within a 5–10 minute drive.
City Walk's ground-level retail and dining precinct — including international brand stores, upscale restaurants, and a cinema — is immediately adjacent. The Burj Al Arab is approximately 15 minutes away and The Palm Jumeirah around 20 minutes. Within the Central Park at City Walk master plan, residents have direct access to the shared park spine, sports courts, and wellness facilities without leaving the community in Dubai.
