Canal Front Residences is a district of Dubai, 1.3 km from Business Bay Metro Station.
Canal Front Residences sits on the eastern edge of Al Wasl, positioned along the Dubai Water Canal and within easy reach of Safa Park. The development is a low- to mid-rise residential enclave whose homes emphasise canal and park views through large windows and terraces. The immediate setting combines waterfront promenades with green space, providing walking, jogging and cycling routes along the canal.
Canal Front Residences is a residential sub-community in Al Wasl, Dubai. The project comprises contemporary two- and three-bedroom apartments and garden suites, including duplex layouts. Units are oriented to maximise outlooks over the canal and adjacent parkland. The address places the community between the central business districts to the east and several established residential neighbourhoods to the west, with the canal and its boardwalk forming the defining public-realm feature.
Canal Front Residences offers public transport access and short driving distances to key destinations in Dubai. The nearest Red Line metro station, code R26, is approximately 1,315 metres from the site. Road distances to principal points in the city include:
Typical driving times indicate quick access to central leisure and commercial hubs: roughly 11 minutes to Dubai Mall, 17 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 15 minutes to Burj Al Arab and approximately 20 minutes to The Walk, JBR. Airport driving times are roughly 18 minutes to Dubai International Airport and about 42 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport. In addition to road and metro connections, the canal provides opportunities for marine water transport where available.
The scheme was originally delivered with KEO International Consultants as project manager and MS Construction as contractor. After a period on hold, construction resumed in 2023 under United Engineering Construction, with Time as project manager.

The development has been designed with active outdoor amenities in mind: a boardwalk runs along the canal for walking and jogging, and a cycling track circles the canal. Residents have direct access to Safa Park and nearby beach areas, combining parkland and waterfront leisure. Apartment designs emphasise light and outlook with large glazing and terraces intended to capture views of the canal and park.
Local services and lifestyle options in Al Wasl and neighbouring districts include retail, dining and leisure clusters within a short driving distance.
Canal Front Residences is suited to buyers or residents who prioritise waterfront and park proximity in a central location. The combination of two- and three-bedroom apartments, garden suites and duplex options suits small families, professional households seeking amenity-rich surroundings, and purchasers who value outdoor space and direct views. Good road access to Downtown Dubai and adjacent business districts makes the community appealing to those working in central Dubai while preferring a quieter residential setting beside green and blue corridors.
Nearby schools include Dubai British School Jumeira, approximately 0.4 km away, and Horizon English School Dubai, approximately 0.5 km from the development. These distances make the area convenient for families prioritising a short school commute.
