Wasl1 1 Residences

Wasl1 1 Residences is a completed residential development by Wasl Asset Management Group, situated in Al Kifaf on the edge of Zabeel Park. Comprising two towers linked across three podium levels, the project delivered six apartments across a relatively contained, low-count scheme, with handover reached in the second quarter of 2022.

# The towers and their position in Al Kifaf

Al Kifaf sits between the older fabric of Bur Dubai and the commercial spine of Sheikh Zayed Road, a position that places it within easy reach of central Dubai without the density or noise of the financial district. Zabeel Park borders the neighbourhood directly, giving the towers a green frontage that is genuinely scarce at this address.

The dual-tower format, connected at podium level across three floors, is the defining architectural gesture. Rather than two independent blocks, the scheme reads as a single integrated structure at street level. The overall unit count of six residences is notably low, which determines the character of the building: it operates closer to a private address than a conventional apartment tower.

# Residences: scale, layout and specification

Apartment sizes run from 1,333 square feet to 1,729 square feet, placing every residence firmly in the larger-format segment for this part of the city. The range suggests configurations suited to professionals or small families rather than the sub-800-square-foot investor product common elsewhere in Dubai.

Internally, the specification draws on a restrained material palette: marble finishes, wood accents, brushed stainless steel detailing, and porcelain tile flooring. Walls and ceilings are painted white throughout, with moisture-resistant gypsum ceilings in the relevant zones. Kitchens are equipped. The apartments are delivered unfurnished, which allows buyers to define the interiors without working around fixed fit-out choices they did not make.

The finish is considered rather than ostentatious. The materials have longevity; the approach suits buyers who intend to occupy rather than flip.

# Amenities across the podium levels

The three connecting podium levels house the building's shared facilities. These include a gymnasium, a jogging track, and an outdoor swimming pool with adjacent sunbathing areas. The specifics are modest in number but well-suited to a building of this scale. With only six residences, the amenity-to-resident ratio is, by any reasonable measure, generous.

# Al Kifaf's access and urban context

The location carries practical weight. Sheikh Zayed Road is accessible directly, and the area benefits from pedestrian connections to the metro network. That combination matters for residents who move across Dubai regularly, whether for business at DIFC, leisure on the coast, or connections through the airport.

Al Kifaf's position between historic Bur Dubai and the modern commercial belt gives it a different texture from the newer master-planned communities further along the coast. It is an established urban neighbourhood rather than a recently reclaimed stretch of desert.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the market

Current asking prices run from approximately AED 3.71 million to AED 4.74 million for a completed, move-in-ready apartment. Buyers purchasing in this range receive scale (over 1,300 square feet as a floor), a park-facing address, and the low-density character that comes with a six-unit building.

The profile is specific. This is not a development for buyers seeking a large portfolio of options or a high-floor tower view over the Marina. It suits the buyer who values privacy, finished quality, and a genuinely central location, and who is prepared to move quickly on a building where very few units will ever come to market at once.
