About Al Jaddaf

Al Jaddaf is a historic Dubai Creek dhow-building district transformed into a walkable, metro-served mixed-use waterfront of residences, healthcare, culture and hotels — minutes from Downtown. It hosts Dubai Healthcare City Phase II (with Latifa Women & Children Hospital and Clemenceau Medical Center), the Jameel Arts Centre, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library and the Culture Village / Jaddaf Waterfront, alongside five-star hotels including Palazzo Versace Dubai. Swiss International Scientific School (SISD) serves the area, and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary's flamingos are ~9 minutes away. For buyers, studios run about AED 495,000–725,000, one-beds AED 1.1M–1.37M and two-beds AED 2.0M–2.4M, at roughly AED 1,555–1,760/sqft; average apartment asking is near AED 1.26M. Gross rental yield is about 5.6% (Bayut) — note individual off-plan listings advertise higher "ROI", which are developer estimates, not verified market data. It is served by Al Jadaf metro (Green Line) with Al Khail and Sheikh Rashid Road access, ~12 minutes to Downtown and ~15 minutes to DXB. The buyer mix is end-users in a close-knit apartment community plus investors drawn to the off-plan pipeline (2027–2028 handovers) and creek/Downtown proximity.
