City Walk is a district of Dubai, 784 m from Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Metro Station, 4 listings available with us.
City Walk is a mixed-use urban quarter in the Jumeirah/Al Wasl area of Dubai, developed as a compact, town-centre-style destination combining retail, leisure, offices and residential elements. Launched in 2017, the precinct sits within walking distance of Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa and has been repositioned since opening to include a broader mix of education, healthcare and office services alongside retail and dining.
City Walk occupies an urban infill site close to Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa. The masterplan extends across a large footprint and creates a boulevard-based environment: covered interior arcades alongside exterior streetscape that references European, particularly British, architectural motifs. The development is described as a three-phase mixed-use regeneration of the former vacant land near Downtown Dubai. It functions as a self-contained shopping and lifestyle district rather than a conventional mall, combining boutiques, food and beverage outlets, professional services, office space and education providers.
City Walk is pedestrian-friendly and connected to Dubai’s Red Line metro network. The nearest metro station is on the Red Line (code R25) and is walkable at approximately 784 metres from the core of the development. City Walk’s central location delivers short travel times to many of Dubai’s major destinations; approximate straight-line distances to notable points are:
The short distances to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay make City Walk attractive for occupants working in those districts while providing immediate access to a concentrated retail and F&B offer for residents and office workers on site.
City Walk is organised as a series of boulevards and streets with a mix of interior and exterior retail and leisure units. Early tenant mix and footfall changed materially in the years after opening: initial occupancy rates were modest in the first three years following the 2017 opening, but a re-tenanting strategy focused on professional services, education and offices increased daytime population and activity.
Examples of how the precinct has adapted include the introduction of higher-education space and the conversion of large retail space into offices. The arrival of office tenants has increased the daily working population in the area. Automotive showrooms and luxury-brand storefronts also form part of the boulevard offer alongside restaurants, clinics, wellness centres and other specialist services.
On-site developments and projects listed for City Walk include:

City Walk also sits adjacent to a larger Central Park residential expansion that is expected to increase the local population and daytime demand for services as those residential phases complete over time.
City Walk encompasses several internal sectors and smaller neighbourhoods that are treated as sub-areas within the overall precinct. These include:
City Walk suits a mix of user groups because of its hybrid character: residents who prioritise proximity to Downtown Dubai and a walkable retail/dining environment; office occupiers seeking a central address with an established customer base; education and professional-service providers that benefit from predictable daytime traffic; and retailers targeting affluent catchment areas. The shift toward clinics, wellness, gyms and offices means the destination services both residents and a stable base of regular, appointment-driven visitors rather than relying solely on tourist or impulse traffic.

What types of tenants and amenities are present?

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved +6% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 5 years, from 2022.
* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
