About the area

City Walk is one of Dubai's premier urban retail and lifestyle destinations — Meraas's low-rise, European-inspired boulevard district between Downtown and the Jumeirah coast. For occupiers it offers prime street-level retail, restaurant and showroom space along a walkable, landscaped boulevard, drawing strong resident and visitor footfall to its boutiques, dining and attractions such as the Coca-Cola Arena, Green Planet and cinema. City Walk suits retailers, restaurateurs, showrooms and lifestyle brands wanting a fashionable, high-footfall central retail and lifestyle address. The district's draw is footfall and setting. Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road connect it to Downtown, DIFC and the coast, and its mix of residents, shoppers and event-goers at the Coca-Cola Arena sustains strong year-round trade. City Walk commands premium retail rents and is oriented to lifestyle rather than conventional office use — the trade-off for a prime, footfall-rich retail, food-and-beverage and lifestyle destination at the heart of central Dubai.

Office & Business Landscape

The district is oriented to retail, food-and-beverage and lifestyle brands rather than large office floors, suiting showrooms, flagship stores and service businesses that value footfall and a fashionable central address.

Retail, Dining & Footfall

The boulevard's boutiques, restaurants and cafés, plus the Coca-Cola Arena, Green Planet and cinema, generate strong year-round footfall from residents, shoppers and event-goers — a powerful setting for retail and dining occupiers.

Notable Developments & Landmarks

The City Walk boulevard, the Coca-Cola Arena and Green Planet define the district's retail and leisure landscape, with Downtown and Safa Park close by.

Amenities

The City Walk boulevard, Coca-Cola Arena, Green Planet and cinema anchor retail, dining and entertainment, with Downtown's amenities and Safa Park minutes away.

Getting around

City Walk is car-led: Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road connect it to Downtown, DIFC and the coast, with Dubai International Airport around 15 minutes away. There is no metro station within the district, so a car is essential; event days bring congestion.

Who it suits
