About Wasl
wasl is a property company owned by the Dubai government. The Dubai Real Estate Corporation, a government body that manages land and buildings held in the government's name, set it up in May 2008 to manage its assets. Its name is an old name for Dubai, meaning "connection" in Arabic.
It is one of the city's largest landlords. In 2012 it managed more than 25,000 homes and commercial units, mostly older rental stock in areas such as Al Karama, Jumeirah, Al Quoz and Muhaisnah, plus about 5,500 land plots. Its group also includes wasl hospitality, whose hotels are run by brands such as Hyatt, and Dubai Golf, which runs Emirates Golf Club and Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club.
It started selling homes in 2014. Its first freehold project was the 405-flat tower at Hyatt Regency Creek Heights, which it sold already built rather than off-plan. In 2019 it began handing over Gardenia Townhomes in wasl Gate, its community in Jebel Ali next to Ibn Battuta Mall. It also built Wasl Tower, a 302-metre tower on Sheikh Zayed Road with homes, offices and a hotel. The Mandarin Oriental hotel inside it opened in November 2025.
It has since launched villa projects for sale in Jumeirah Golf Estates, where Dubai Golf also runs the golf club.
Where they build
Wasl Gate and Bur Dubai have the most of their projects, and 3 other areas have the rest.
They tend to price below the resale market: 3 of the 3 projects we checked start below the usual price per square foot of similar homes sold through Dubai Land Department, typically by about 20%.
Booking is cheap with them: none of their plans asks for more than 10% up front.
Their most expensive project, The Next Chapter - Pinewood Village, starts from AED 5.6M, far above the AED 1.7M at which half their projects start.
Their record
Dubai Land Department lists 2 finished projects by Wasl, and 2 under construction.
