Neighbourhoods people actually use
Some developers build towers. Meraas builds the places people actually spend their weekends. City Walk, La Mer,
Bluewaters Island, and Central Park are all Meraas projects — destinations that shaped how Dubai lives day to day,
well beyond anyone who bought a unit inside them.
Meraas now operates alongside Nakheel within Dubai Holding’s real estate division, which means it carries the same
institutional backing as Nakheel while pursuing a distinctly different design philosophy: retail-led, waterfront,
walkable urban districts, rather than pure residential towers. For buyers, that translates into properties positioned
inside genuinely lived-in neighbourhoods rather than isolated residential blocks.

Why Meraas is different from a typical residential developer
Operates within Dubai Holding alongside Nakheel — institutional backing without being a pure residentialvolume player.
Built the destinations that define Dubai’s retail and lifestyle scene: City Walk, La Mer, Bluewaters Island,
Central Park.
Design philosophy centred on walkability, waterfront access, and mixed-use density rather than standalone
towers.
Properties sit inside neighbourhoods with an established day-to-day identity, not a masterplan still waiting
to fill in.
What Meraas builds
Meraas’s residential product typically sits above or alongside retail and leisure infrastructure it has already built and
proven — think apartments overlooking La Mer’s beach clubs or residences within walking distance of Bluewaters’
dining and entertainment. The lifestyle is already operational by the time most units come to market.
