Eligibility Snapshot
City Walk Crestlane 2 Golden Visa Facts
City Walk Crestlane 2 is a 201-residence freehold apartment project by Meraas in City Walk, registered with the Dubai Land Department as project number 3530 on 06 February 2025, with construction recorded on the register from 16 April 2025. The latest DLD register reading is 6.83% for the inspection of 08 October 2026, and the RERA progress report issued that day found enabling, piling and foundation works progressing on site, with the status Main Contract, Progressing. For residency planning, price is the decisive figure: the 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.60M ≈ USD 708K, so all six unit types open above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value the UAE Golden Visa program currently requires, under whatever regulations apply on your application date. The smallest layout carries a residency case on its own, so no buyer here needs to combine two properties to reach the line. Handover is expected in Q4 2028, when the Oqood registration gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which City Walk Crestlane 2 Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
At many Dubai launches the Golden Visa question splits the price list in two. At City Walk Crestlane 2 it does not: the cheapest tier, the 1 bedroom apartments from AED 2.60M ≈ USD 708K, already starts above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, and each larger tier only widens the gap. The real decision is how you will use the home, from a compact 1 bedroom held for rent to a 4 bedroom duplex with private lift access from its parking, provided the registered value of your specific unit stays at or above the threshold under the rules in force when you apply.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 788 to 818 sq ft (73 to 76 sq m) | AED 2.60M ≈ USD 708K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 1,183 to 1,351 sq ft (110 to 126 sq m) | AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom + Maid Apartments | ≈ 1,402 to 1,494 sq ft (130 to 139 sq m) | AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 1,766 to 4,594 sq ft (164 to 427 sq m) | AED 6.00M ≈ USD 1.63M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Signature Apartments | ≈ 4,647 to 4,819 sq ft (432 to 448 sq m) | AED 14.60M ≈ USD 3.98M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Duplexes | ≈ 4,588 to 4,986 sq ft (426 to 463 sq m) | AED 16.30M ≈ USD 4.44M | Yes |
| All six City Walk Crestlane 2 unit types qualify individually at current starting prices. No combining of properties is needed. | |||
The figure that counts: the authorities assess the purchase value registered for your unit, first on the Oqood and later on the title deed, and that value must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Every City Walk Crestlane 2 list price clears it, yet a resale apartment or a negotiated price that lands under the line would not qualify on its own, and approval always rests with the UAE authorities. Check the contract value of your exact unit before you file.
Payment Plan and Timing
Golden Visa Timing on the City Walk Crestlane 2 Payment Plan
City Walk Crestlane 2 is sold on a date-based 75/25 plan from Meraas: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 10% in July 2025, 5% in November 2025, 10% each in April 2026, September 2026, February 2027 and June 2027, and a final 25% instalment dated November 2028 (Handover). Read as the developer's launch schedule, the cumulative share reaches 30% after July 2025, 35% after November 2025, 45% after April 2026, 55% after September 2026, 65% after February 2027, 75% after June 2027 and 100% at handover. Four of those dates have already passed by November 2026, so the schedule that applies to a purchase made today, including any catch-up amount due at booking, is the one Meraas confirms in the SPA.
My read on the timing: with three quarters of the price scheduled before handover, City Walk Crestlane 2 buyers have two realistic filing windows, and the better one depends on why the visa matters to you. A family relocating to Dubai, or a buyer who needs residency for banking or school places, usually files early on the Oqood-registered contract, once the paid-share conditions commonly applied at that time are satisfied. With the register reading at 6.83% in October 2026 and handover expected in Q4 2028, that early window covers roughly two years. An investor with no deadline often waits for the title deed instead, so the file rests on completed, registered ownership. Off-plan conditions are updated from time to time, so check the current paid-share requirement before you submit.
VIP processing, no service fee: when you buy at City Walk Crestlane 2 through me, I handle the Golden Visa file end to end, preparing the documents, submitting them and tracking the status, at no charge for the service. The government fees set by the issuing authorities still apply.

Buyer Insights for a City Walk Crestlane 2 Golden Visa Purchase
Clearing AED 2M ≈ USD 545K is the first test of a City Walk Crestlane 2 residency purchase, not the last. Buyers should also follow the dated register readings on the way to the title deed and confirm that every instalment lands in the DLD-registered escrow account. The two project resources below cover both.

City Walk Crestlane 2 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, on price. The six unit types start at AED 2.60M ≈ USD 708K for a 1 bedroom apartment, AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K for a 2 bedroom, AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M for a 2 bedroom + maid, AED 6.00M ≈ USD 1.63M for a 3 bedroom, AED 14.60M ≈ USD 3.98M for a 4 bedroom signature apartment and AED 16.30M ≈ USD 4.44M for a 4 bedroom duplex, so each one opens above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value the program currently requires. City Walk Crestlane 2 is freehold and open to all nationalities. The full eligibility criteria sit in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.
Usually, yes. Off-plan buyers commonly file on the strength of the Oqood registration that Meraas completes after booking, together with evidence that the registered value reaches the threshold and that any paid-share condition in force on the filing date has been met. Buyers who would rather keep the file simple can wait for the title deed after the expected Q4 2028 handover. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
The plan runs on dates rather than construction stages: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, six dated instalments worth 55% in total between July 2025 and June 2027, and the remaining 25% on handover. On the developer's launch schedule the cumulative share reaches 55% after September 2026 and 75% after June 2027, but four of the dated instalments already fall before November 2026, so the schedule for a new purchase is the one Meraas sets in the SPA. The registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price and is not counted as part of the purchase value assessed for the visa.
The authorities look at the value registered for the specific unit: the Oqood price during construction and the title deed value after handover. That registered figure must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Every City Walk Crestlane 2 list price clears that line, but a resale apartment or a negotiated price that lands below it would not qualify on its own.
Under the conditions commonly applied, each co-owner needs a share worth at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K to qualify individually. On starting prices, an equal two-way split reaches that level from the 2 Bedroom + Maid Apartments at AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M upward, while an equal split of a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom apartment leaves each share below the line. Treatment of joint ownership, including between spouses, follows the rules in force at the time of application.
A mortgage does not by itself rule a buyer out. Under the conditions commonly applied, a mortgaged property can support an application when the lending bank confirms in writing how much the owner has paid, and that paid amount is measured against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Mortgage options for off-plan units during construction are typically narrower than for completed homes, and these conditions are updated from time to time.
A property-based Golden Visa is currently issued for 10 years and is renewable while the qualifying ownership is kept. Holders can commonly sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases parents, under the rules in force when the application is made. What the visa covers and what it does not is set out in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.
No. A purchase at the listed prices makes a buyer eligible to apply, but the decision rests with the UAE residency authorities, which check the ownership record, the registered value and standard background requirements under the rules in force at the time. Construction progress, currently at the foundation stage, is logged on the City Walk Crestlane 2 construction updates page.
No service fee applies when the purchase is made through this advisory: the VIP service that prepares, files and tracks the application is included free. The government fees set by the issuing authorities still apply, at the rates in force when the application is filed.
