About Waada - Cascada 1

Building Overview

Waada - Cascada 1 is a ground-plus-16-storey mixed residential and retail building forming part of the wider Waada masterplan in Dubai South. The tower comprises 249 units across a single building, with construction scheduled to run from November 2025 to October 2028, giving a handover window in the final quarter of 2028.

As the first residential release within the Waada masterplan, Cascada 1 sits alongside the development's signature cascading architecture concept, where terraces and setbacks are designed to preserve privacy between units while maximizing outdoor living area on upper floors. The building combines apartment living with ground-level retail frontage.

Waada Masterplan Context

Cascada 1 is one component of Waada, a masterplanned community by BT Properties spanning residential clusters, a community cultural centre, an international school, a hospital, a mosque and a five-star hotel with service apartments. The wider masterplan is designed as a 15-minute walkable city with roughly 40% of land allocated to open space, parks and water features.

The masterplan's residential portfolio spans high-rise and mid-rise apartments, townhouses, and 4 and 6-bedroom villas, positioning Cascada 1 as part of a broader multi-tier housing offer rather than a standalone tower.

Developer Track Record

BT Properties describes a 30-year history of residential development beginning in Pakistan before expanding into multiple cities. Waada represents the developer's flagship entry into the Dubai market, applying its stated focus on sustainable community design and phased delivery to the Dubai South growth corridor.

Location & Growth Corridor

The building sits within Dubai South, close to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai, both cited by the developer as key drivers of the district's long-term growth under Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan. Proximity to this expansion corridor is presented as a core rationale for future capital appreciation.
