Mid-rise apartment blocks at lower prices than neighbouring central districts. Facts last verified 12 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | district | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Also known as | Al Jadaf, Jaddaf Waterfront, Dubai Culture Village | | Coordinates | 25.217, 55.333 | | Developments covered | 11 | | Wikidata | [Q4117461](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4117461) | ## Overview Al Jaddaf sits on the western bank of Dubai Creek, between the creek and the Business Bay extension, with Zabeel and Dubai Healthcare City as neighbours. The name comes from its history as a dhow-building yard, and part of the waterfront is still shipyards and dry docks. Around them a residential district of mid-rise apartment blocks has grown up. The landmarks are civic rather than commercial: the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, Latifa Hospital, the Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai Culture Village, and the Palazzo Versace and Marriott hotels on the creek. Dubai Festival City Mall is about seven minutes away by car and Dubai Mall about 12, according to Bayut's area guide. New supply is dominated by two developers. [Binghatti](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/binghatti) lists ten projects here, completed and under way, including Starfall, Wraith and Cullinan; [Azizi](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/azizi) has several more. Property Finder counted 34 new and off-plan projects in Al Jaddaf in November 2026. Homes are mostly studios and one- and two-bedroom flats, and studio prices in current launches start below AED 1 million, well under Business Bay or Creek Harbour. Al Jaddaf has something most new districts lack: a working metro. Al Jadaf and Creek stations are on the Green Line, and Creek is planned as the interchange with the Blue Line now under construction. The area suits investors buying smaller units for yield and tenants who want a central address on a budget. ## Who it suits - Yield-focused investors buying studios and one-beds - Budget-conscious buyers wanting a central location - Staff at Dubai Healthcare City and the airport - Tenants who rely on the metro ## Highlights - Green Line metro at Al Jadaf and Creek stations; Creek is the planned Blue Line interchange - About 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 12 from Dubai Mall (Bayut area guide) - Lower entry prices than Business Bay, Downtown or Creek Harbour - Creek waterfront with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library and Jameel Arts Centre - Active market: Property Finder recorded 2,484 sales in the 12 months to November 2026 ## Considerations - Supply is heavy and concentrated in small units from a few developers, so new buildings compete directly for the same tenants - Shipyards and dry docks still operate on part of the waterfront, and with 34 projects listed, building work on neighbouring plots is likely for years - Very few villas or townhouses; Bayut's guide lists the lack of independent homes as the main limitation - Developer drive times are optimistic: Binghatti quotes six minutes to the airport where Bayut's guide says about 15 - Freehold status is plot by plot in this district; confirm the tenure of the specific project with the Dubai Land Department ## Drive times - Dubai International Airport: about 15 minutes - Downtown Dubai: about 12 minutes ## Developments in Al Jaddaf - [Binghatti Cullinan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/binghatti-cullinan): Binghatti; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2027; from AED 1,399,999 (as of 2026-11-12) - [Binghatti Wraith](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/binghatti-wraith): Binghatti; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; launched; handover Q4 2027; from AED 1,299,999 (as of 2026-11-12) - [Azizi Leily](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/azizi-leily): Azizi Developments; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2028; from AED 679,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Binghatti Starfall](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/binghatti-starfall): Binghatti; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; launched; handover Q3 2028; from AED 827,999 (as of 2026-11-12) - [Azizi Creek Views IV](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/azizi-creek-views-iv): Azizi Developments; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 1,200,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Azizi Jaddaf Beach Oasis](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/azizi-jaddaf-beach-oasis): Azizi Developments; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; launched; handover Q4 2028; from AED 720,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Binghatti Spectre](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/binghatti-spectre): Binghatti; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; launched; from AED 774,999 (as of 2026-11-12) - [Azizi Aliyah](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/azizi-aliyah): Azizi Developments; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; ready; handover Q4 2025; from AED 1,137,555 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Binghatti Ghost](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/binghatti-ghost): Binghatti; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; ready; handover Q1 2026; from AED 2,612,499 (as of 2026-11-12) - [Binghatti Starlight](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/binghatti-starlight): Binghatti; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; ready; handover Q1 2026; from AED 881,000 (as of 2026-11-12) - [Azizi Creek Views III](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf/azizi-creek-views-iii): Azizi Developments; Al Jaddaf, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2026; from AED 1,480,619 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [Dubai Creek Harbour](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-creek-harbour) - [Business Bay](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/business-bay) - [Downtown Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/downtown-dubai) - [Dubai Design District](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-design-district) - [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2) - [Meydan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/meydan) ## Questions and answers ### Is Al Jaddaf freehold? Foreign ownership in Dubai is granted plot by plot. Three Al Jaddaf plots were named in the original 2006 regulation and Bayut's guide reports further plots eligible for conversion to freehold. The current off-plan projects listed by Property Finder, such as Binghatti Starfall, are shown as freehold. Confirm the status of any individual project with the Dubai Land Department. ### Does Al Jaddaf have a metro station? Yes. Al Jadaf station and Creek station are both on the Green Line. Creek is also planned as an interchange with the Blue Line, which has a target opening of September 2029. ### What do off-plan apartments cost in Al Jaddaf? On 12 November 2026 Property Finder's Al Jaddaf page showed launch prices from AED 720,000 at Azizi Jaddaf Beach Oasis and AED 827,999 at Binghatti Starfall, with one-bedroom flats at Starfall from about AED 1.2 million. ### Which developers are building in Al Jaddaf? Current developments we cover in Al Jaddaf are by Binghatti and Azizi Developments. ### What are property prices in Al Jaddaf per square foot? Published figures for Al Jaddaf: AED 1,995 per sq ft for all homes (average sale price per sq ft; Property Finder, from registered transactions, 12 months to 12 November 2026, 2,484 sales). Averages move with the mix of homes sold, and asking prices usually sit above prices paid. Compare areas in our [price per sq ft table](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/data/area-prices). ### What is the rental yield in Al Jaddaf? The published average gross rental yield in Al Jaddaf is 5.68% for all homes (Property Finder, from registered transactions, 12 months to 12 November 2026, 2,484 sales). Gross yield is before service charges, empty months, management and fees, so the net figure is lower: work it out for a specific home with the [rental yield calculator](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/tools/rental-yield-calculator), or compare areas on [rental yields by area](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/data/area-yields). ### What is the average rent in Al Jaddaf? The average annual rent on new contracts in Al Jaddaf is AED 84,273 for all homes (Property Finder, from registered tenancy contracts, 12 months to 12 November 2026, 8,861 contracts). That average mixes studios with larger homes, so ask for the rents achieved on comparable units before relying on a figure for one property. ## Sources Facts on this page were last checked against these sources on 12 November 2026. - [Bayut area guide: Al Jaddaf](https://www.bayut.com/area-guides/al-jaddaf/) - [Property Finder: new projects in Al Jaddaf](https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/new-projects/lp/dubai/al-jaddaf) - [Property Finder: Binghatti Starfall](https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/new-projects/binghatti-developers/binghatti-starfall) - [Binghatti: project list](https://www.binghatti.com/) - [Binghatti: Starfall project page](https://www.binghatti.com/en/projects/binghatti-starfall) - [Dubai Legislation Portal: Regulation No. 3 of 2006](https://dlp.dubai.gov.ae/Legislation%20Reference/2006/Regulation%20No.%20(3)%20of%202006.html) - [Wikipedia: Blue Line (Dubai Metro)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Line_(Dubai_Metro)) --- Source page: https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf.
