Castleton at Central Park, City Walk
Castleton is a residential project by Meraas Holding, situated within Central Park at City Walk in Dubai. It offers apartments and penthouses across a price range that spans from AED 2,082,800 to AED 8,299,000. That four-million-dirham spread tells you something useful upfront: this is not a homogeneous building. The low end lands you a one-bedroom. The high end buys a four-bedroom penthouse covering nearly 9,000 square feet.
City Walk and What the Address Actually Means
City Walk sits in the heart of Dubai, directly west of Downtown. Residents get walkable access to retail, restaurants, and public space in a way that most Dubai addresses cannot offer. The commute to Business Bay takes roughly ten minutes by car. Downtown Dubai and the DIFC are equally close. Dubai International Airport is about 20 minutes out.
Central Park at City Walk is a sub-community within this district, organised around green open space. Castleton sits within that enclave. For a buyer weighing urban convenience against a more human-scale environment, this address resolves that tension as well as anywhere in Dubai currently does.
What AED 2M to AED 8.3M Buys You
The entry point of AED 2,082,800 covers one-bedroom apartments ranging from 781 to 980 square feet. These are compact by City Walk standards, but the location carries significant weight for smaller units.
Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 3,387,500, with sizes running from 1,125 to 1,736 square feet across multiple layouts. Three-bedrooms open at AED 5,900,000 and range from 1,814 to 3,082 square feet. The larger three-bedroom layouts are genuinely spacious.
Four-bedroom apartments start at AED 8,299,000 at 3,078 square feet. The penthouses top out at the same price threshold but offer 7,968 to 8,945 square feet across two levels. At that size and price point, the penthouses compete with villa-style living while remaining in a managed building in a prime urban location.
Apartments and Penthouses: Two Different Buyer Profiles
The apartments suit buyers who want a managed urban home or a rental asset in a high-footfall location. One- and two-bedroom units appeal to professionals or couples. Three-bedrooms make sense for small families who want city access without sacrificing space.
The penthouses are a different product. At roughly 8,000 to 9,000 square feet over two floors, they target buyers looking for volume and landmark views in a central location. The concierge service and the security infrastructure support this segment specifically.

Beach access is an uncommon listing for an inland City Walk address. The combination of concierge, security, and covered parking points at a resident profile that expects hotel-standard service in a residential building. The study and walk-in closet inclusions in the unit fitout reinforce this.
Timeline: Off-Plan with Near-Term Delivery
Construction started in September 2022. The expected completion date is March 2026. As of mid-2025, buyers entering now are close to the delivery window. The off-plan risk here is compressed. Capital deployment and physical handover are not far apart.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 20% |
| During Construction | 30% |
| On Handover | 50% |
The 20% down payment is in line with standard off-plan requirements in Dubai. The bulk of the payment, 50%, falls at handover. For buyers with strong liquidity at delivery, that back-loading works in their favour. The absence of a post-handover payment plan means the financial commitment completes on the day keys change hands. Buyers need to have their full financing in place before handover, not after.
