The Collection at Taiyo

The Collection at Taiyo is a 42-unit furnished residential building by LMD, situated within Jebel Ali Village in the Wasl Gate district along Sheikh Zayed Road. Currently under construction and available for purchase, it offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from approximately AED 1.05 million to AED 2.76 million.

# A Single Building in a District Still Taking Shape

Wasl Gate sits on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Jebel Ali corridor, a stretch of the city that has spent the past decade moving from industrial adjacency to planned urban living. The Collection at Taiyo occupies a single building within this mixed-use neighbourhood, which already counts IKEA and Festival Plaza Mall among its anchors. At 42 residences, it is deliberately small in scale. That restraint is a design choice as much as a commercial one, positioning the project against the anonymous bulk that characterises much of Dubai's volume residential supply.

The building reads as contemporary urban architecture: vertical proportions, glass façades and framed balconies that punctuate the exterior. Construction began recently, with completion progress currently recorded at around 3 per cent, so buyers are entering at an early stage.

# Residences, Layouts and Specification

# What the floor plates actually deliver

The one-bedroom apartments range from roughly 589 to 655 sq ft, priced between AED 1.05 million and AED 1.22 million depending on floor and position. Two-bedroom units sit at around 1,010 sq ft, with pricing recorded at AED 1.63 million. Three-bedroom residences occupy the upper end of the stack, running from approximately 1,453 to 1,628 sq ft and priced from AED 2.50 million to AED 2.76 million.

All apartments are fully furnished and delivered move-in ready. The developer cites Bosch appliances in the kitchen and Grohe sanitaryware in the bathrooms, which are the two specification benchmarks that matter most in this segment. Natural light is prioritised through the glass-forward façade treatment, and each residence includes balcony access. Service charges are set at AED 16 per sq ft per annum.

# Amenities Across Leisure, Fitness and Work

The amenity offering covers a meaningful range without attempting to replicate a hotel. There is a swimming pool, an indoor gym and a separate outdoor gym. A padel court serves the growing appetite for that sport across Dubai's residential market. The co-working space addresses the practical reality that a portion of buyers in this price band work remotely at least part of the week.

Social infrastructure includes a residents lounge, a quiet zone, a coffee bar and a BBQ area. Families with children have an outdoor play area. The outdoor martial arts area is an unusual inclusion at this scale and price point, signalling a specific lifestyle positioning rather than a generic amenity list.

# Position on Sheikh Zayed Road and Public Transport Links

Wasl Gate has direct access to the Energy Metro Station on the Red Line, which connects south towards Expo City and north through the rest of the city. That single fact matters considerably for residents who do not drive or who commute regularly. Dubai Marina is reachable in under twenty minutes by car. Al Maktoum International Airport, positioned to expand substantially over the coming decade, is to the south.

The ground-level neighbourhood is already functional: cafés, retail and dining operate within the community, and the larger Festival Plaza retail cluster is close by. For buyers evaluating liveability rather than just location on a map, the infrastructure is already in place rather than promised.

# Who This Project Suits and Where It Sits in the Market

At AED 1.05 million to AED 1.22 million for a one-bedroom, The Collection at Taiyo occupies a price tier that appeals to two distinct buyer types. Owner-occupiers seeking a furnished, ready-to-use apartment in a lower-density environment than Dubai Marina or Downtown will find the proposition straightforward. Investors targeting long-term capital appreciation may be drawn by Jebel Ali Village's trajectory and the proximity to Expo City, which continues to develop as a business and hospitality destination.

The 42-unit count keeps the building manageable as an investment asset. Smaller pools of competing units within the same building tend to support resale positioning more reliably than towers of several hundred. At AED 16 per sq ft in service charges, running costs are within the range a buy-to-let calculation can absorb comfortably. The early construction stage carries the usual execution risk, but it also represents the point at which pricing reflects that uncertainty.
