Wasl Builds a Villa Community Inside the City Grid
Gardenia Townhomes Phase 2 is a villa project by Wasl Properties, part of the wider Wasl Gate development in Dubai. The project offers two villa configurations in a master-planned community designed for family living within the urban core.
Wasl Gate: More Connected Than Most Villa Districts
Wasl Gate sits between Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, placing it inside the urban fabric rather than on the suburban periphery. The development gives residents direct metro connectivity, which is unusual for a villa community. Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and the financial district are each roughly 10 to 15 minutes away by car.
This is not a beach-side or semi-rural community. Wasl Gate has the density, retail, and activity of a city district. Families who prioritize villa living within reach of a metro station will find the location works well for daily commuting. Those seeking seclusion will not.
AED 2.78M for Three Bedrooms, AED 3.18M for Four
| Unit Type | Bedrooms | Area | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type A | 3 BR | 2,673 sq ft | AED 2,781,777 |
| Type A | 4 BR | 3,090 sq ft | AED 3,183,777 |
The AED 401,000 price gap between the two unit types is clean: one additional bedroom and 417 extra square feet. At roughly AED 1,041 per sq ft for the three-bed and AED 1,030 per sq ft for the four-bed, the cost per square foot is nearly flat. There is no entry-level or premium tier. The only decision is whether the family needs three bedrooms or four.
Getting In at 60%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 60% |
| Handover | 40% |
The 60% down payment is the defining number in this project's financial structure. For the three-bedroom villa, that is approximately AED 1.67M due before handover. For the four-bedroom, closer to AED 1.91M. The full balance clears at handover, and there is no installment tail after possession.
This structure suits buyers who have substantial capital ready now: families buying a primary residence, or investors who are not relying on flexible payment terms to manage their position. It is not structured for buyers looking to minimise upfront exposure.
Construction Wrapped Up in 2024
Construction started August 2023 with an expected completion of May 2024. That date has passed. Buyers entering now are purchasing a project that has most likely reached handover, which changes the character of the transaction from a typical off-plan commitment to something closer to a completed-home purchase.
Ten Amenities Built Around Active Families
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Outdoor | Gymnasium, Running Track, Shared Pool, Landscaped Gardens |
| Family & Social | Children's Play Area, Barbecue Area |
| Community Services | Mosque, Retail Facilities, Valet Parking |
| Connectivity | Metro access |
The amenity set is well-rounded for a villa community. Metro access from within the development is a genuine differentiator. A gymnasium, running track, and shared pool mean residents are not dependent on external facilities for daily fitness needs. The on-site mosque and retail spaces reinforce that this community is built for daily living, not occasional use. The resident profile the amenity set targets is a family that wants a fully self-contained community environment, with the added convenience of being inside a connected city district.
