Al Jaddaf Waterfront
Overview
Al Jaddaf Waterfront sits on the west bank of Dubai Creek, between Zabeel, Umm Hurair and Ras Al Khor, across the water from Dubai Creek Harbour. Al Jaddaf metro station on the Green Line already serves it, and the Blue Line will meet the Green Line here at Creek Interchange, due to open in 2029. The market is small and mostly new: the Dubai Land Department registered 385 sales between January and September 2026, worth AED 1.27bn, and 78% were off-plan, led by Binghatti's towers. Flats sold at a median AED 1,882 per sq ft, with studios at AED 882,000, one-bedrooms at AED 1.31M and two-bedrooms at AED 1.96M. Rent is the weak point: on Ejari contracts across the wider Al Jadaf area, finished flats earn about 4.4% to 4.7% gross, which is below the Dubai average because the rent figures include older buildings. Betterhomes counted Al Jaddaf apartments among the fastest risers in Q2 2026, up 35.5% year on year, on a small number of resales.
