South Garden by Wasl

South Garden is a mixed-use residential development by government-owned developer Wasl, situated inside the Wasl Gate master community in Jebel Ali, Dubai. It comprises 768 apartments across five buildings and sits a one-minute walk from Energy Metro Station. The project is adjacent to Festival Plaza Mall, IKEA, and Expo City.

South Garden offers studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom-plus-maid's-room apartments. Studio sizes range from 399 to 508 sq. ft., 1BRs from 824 to 1,086 sq. ft., 2BRs from 1,153 to 1,299 sq. ft., and 3BRs from 1,744 to 2,127 sq. ft. All units feature full-height glass windows and optimised open-plan layouts.

Apartments in South Garden start from AED 700,000, making it one of the more accessible freehold entry points in a Metro-connected Dubai address. Studios represent the lowest price bracket, while 3-bedroom-plus-maid units reach up to approximately AED 2M+ depending on floor and phase. The 5% booking fee keeps the initial outlay low.

South Garden offers a 60/40 payment plan with a 5% booking fee to secure a unit. The remaining balance is structured in installments tied to construction milestones through to handover, with 40% due on completion. This structure suits both end-users managing cash flow and investors looking to minimise upfront capital commitment.

Phase 1, covering Buildings A, B, and C, is scheduled for handover in Q4 2027. Phase 2, comprising Buildings D and E, is targeted for 2028. Buyers can select their preferred phase at the time of purchase, allowing flexibility on timeline and pricing.

The development centres on a private Zen Garden designed as a community sanctuary, complemented by a resort-style swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gym, children's play zones, lush landscaped podium areas, and 24/7 professional security. Residents also benefit from secure podium parking and access to Wasl Gate's wider Central Park and pet-friendly infrastructure.

1-bedroom apartments in Wasl Gate are currently leasing at around AED 60,000 per year, pointing to gross yields of 8–10% for South Garden units purchased at launch prices. The project's freehold status, Metro adjacency, and proximity to the AED 128B Al Maktoum Airport expansion corridor support both strong occupancy rates and long-term capital appreciation.

South Garden is developed by Wasl, a government-backed real estate company wholly owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai. Wasl manages one of Dubai's largest property portfolios — over 50,000 residential and commercial units — giving buyers confidence in construction quality, delivery timelines, and post-handover asset management.
