What Wasl Gate is like
Wasl's freehold master community beside Sheikh Zayed Road in Jebel Ali, next to Festival Plaza and Energy metro station, with apartments launching from AED 550,000.
Wasl Gate is a freehold master development by Wasl in Jebel Ali, alongside Sheikh Zayed Road. It is built around Festival Plaza, the mall that houses the Jebel Ali IKEA store, and is a few minutes from Energy station on the metro Red Line. That combination, a mall on site and a metro station close by, is unusual among Dubai's mid-market communities and is the main argument for the location.
The first phases are complete: The Nook apartments and the Gardenia Townhomes. Since then Wasl has released a run of off-plan apartment projects. Hillside Residences and the South Garden buildings are listed for handover between late 2027 and mid-2028, with South Garden studios launched from AED 550,000 to AED 630,000. The newer and larger Boulevard Park and Boulevard Living projects, launched from AED 900,000, are listed for 2029. Private developers are also building inside the community, so not every project here is by Wasl.
Property Finder listed 20 new projects in Wasl Gate on 12 November 2026, 13 with developer stock. For a community of this size that is a lot of apartments arriving within a three-year window, almost all studios to three-bedroom flats.
The position suits people who work at the southern end of the city. Jebel Ali Free Zone and Expo City are close, Ibn Battuta Mall is about 10 minutes away, and Al Maktoum International Airport about 20 minutes. Downtown Dubai is further: about 25 minutes by car in normal traffic, according to Property Finder's project pages, and Dubai International Airport about 26 minutes according to Bayut.
Suits
- Buyers who want metro access on a mid-market budget
- People working in Jebel Ali or Expo City
- Investors targeting tenants in south Dubai
- Buyers who prefer a large, established developer
In its favour
- Energy metro station about three minutes away by car, on the Red Line
- Festival Plaza mall, with IKEA, inside the community
- Master developer Wasl is one of Dubai's largest property groups
- Launch prices from AED 550,000 for South Garden studios and AED 900,000 at Boulevard Park
- About 20 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport
Worth knowing
- Twenty new projects were listed on 12 November 2026, with handovers bunched between late 2027 and 2029: expect strong competition for tenants and resale buyers as they complete
- About 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai; the appeal depends on the southern employment hubs rather than central Dubai
- Bayut's guide notes congestion at weekends and peak hours, and limited visitor parking
- Third-party buildings inside the community are not built or managed by Wasl; check who the developer is for each project
- Wasl's newer launches leave 40% due at handover in 2029, when mortgage conditions are unknown
