Eligibility Snapshot
City Walk Crestlane 4 Golden Visa Facts
City Walk Crestlane 4 is a freehold Meraas release of 201 residences in City Walk, entered on the Dubai Land Department register as project 4286 on 23 December 2025, with 25 February 2026 recorded there as the construction start and a DLD register reading of 0.01% at the inspection of 06 October 2026. The RERA progress report of that date lists the status as Pre-Construction (On Hold) and notes that no construction activities had started at the site; both entries stand as recorded, so confirm the current site status with Meraas and on Dubai REST before paying. For residency planning, the price list settles the main question: even the lowest entry, a 1 bedroom apartment from AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, is priced over the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value that the UAE Golden Visa currently asks of investors, with eligibility always judged under the rules in force on the day you file. Handover is expected in Q2 2030, when the Oqood registration gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which City Walk Crestlane 4 Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
On most Dubai price lists the Golden Visa line cuts through the smaller layouts, and buyers end up choosing between the apartment they need and the one that qualifies. City Walk Crestlane 4 has no such cut: its cheapest layout opens AED 0.70M ≈ USD 191K above the line, so choosing between a 1 bedroom and a 4 Bedroom Park Duplex is a question of space, budget and resale profile rather than residency. What still needs checking is the registered value of the exact unit you sign for.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 785 to 839 sq ft (73 to 78 sq m) | AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 1,187 to 1,322 sq ft (110 to 123 sq m) | AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom + Maid Apartments | ≈ 1,388 to 1,589 sq ft (129 to 148 sq m) | AED 4.70M ≈ USD 1.28M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 2,081 to 2,207 sq ft (193 to 205 sq m) | AED 7.40M ≈ USD 2.01M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 6,292 to 6,925 sq ft (585 to 634 sq m) | AED 17.60M ≈ USD 4.79M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Park Duplexes | ≈ 4,647 to 6,171 sq ft (432 to 573 sq m) | AED 17.90M ≈ USD 4.87M | Yes |
| All six unit types at City Walk Crestlane 4 start at or above the threshold, so each qualifies on its own starting price. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility follows the purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department, so the price on your Oqood and, at handover, on your title deed must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. A 1 bedroom signed at the AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K starting price clears it, while a resale or secondary contract registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K falls short on its own. Meeting the value makes you eligible to apply; approval is not guaranteed and rests with the UAE authorities.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at City Walk Crestlane 4 Can Apply
City Walk Crestlane 4 runs on a 75/25 plan set by calendar dates: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 10% in May 2026, 5% in September 2026, 10% each in February 2027, July 2027, December 2027 and April 2028, and a final 25% on April 2030 (Handover) as the developer sheet states it. Read cumulatively, the developer's dated schedule reaches 20% at booking, 30% after May 2026, 35% after September 2026, 45% after February 2027, 55% after July 2027, 65% after December 2027, 75% after April 2028 and 100% at handover. The May 2026 and September 2026 dates already lie before today, so the schedule that applies to a purchase made now, including any catch-up amount due at booking, is the one Meraas confirms in the SPA.
My read on the timing: the dated plan gives two practical routes, and the right one depends on why you want residency. Buyers who need it soon, for a family move or UAE banking, can apply on the Oqood-registered contract once they meet the paid-value condition commonly applied at that point; that condition is updated from time to time, so confirm it before submitting rather than counting on a particular instalment date. Buyers with no deadline can wait for the title deed at the Q2 2030 handover and file on completed, registered ownership, which keeps the paperwork to a single document.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.

City Walk Crestlane 4 Insights for Golden Visa Buyers
A Golden Visa purchase at City Walk Crestlane 4 runs for several years before the title deed is issued. Beyond the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, two records deserve attention: the dated DLD register readings from the current pre-construction stage onward, and the escrow account that receives each dated instalment.

City Walk Crestlane 4 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
All six. 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, 2 Bedroom Apartments at AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K, 2 Bedroom + Maid Apartments at AED 4.70M ≈ USD 1.28M, 3 Bedroom Apartments at AED 7.40M ≈ USD 2.01M, 4 Bedroom Apartments at AED 17.60M ≈ USD 4.79M and 4 Bedroom Park Duplexes at AED 17.90M ≈ USD 4.87M, so every type on the current Meraas price list starts above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold for the 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa. City Walk Crestlane 4 is freehold and open to all nationalities. Full criteria sit in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Eligibility is assessed on the purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department, first on the Oqood and later on the title deed, so the registered price of the specific apartment must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. A new City Walk Crestlane 4 contract at or above the AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K entry price meets that test on value; a resale or secondary contract registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K falls short on its own, whatever the original list price was.
An application before handover usually rests on the Oqood-registered contract for the apartment, backed by proof that the registered price clears the threshold and by whatever paid-value conditions the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities commonly apply at the time of application, which are updated from time to time. Buyers who want the most straightforward file can apply once the title deed is issued at handover, expected in Q2 2030. The steps are set out in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The developer schedule asks for 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, six dated instalments totalling 55% between May 2026 and April 2028, and 25% at handover. The fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price and is not part of the purchase value assessed for eligibility. On the dated schedule the paid share builds from 20% to 75% before handover, so where a paid-value condition applies, the point at which it is met depends on the condition in force and on the schedule in the SPA; because the May 2026 and September 2026 dates are already past, the schedule for a purchase made now is the one confirmed by Meraas in the SPA.
Joint ownership is commonly accepted, but under the rules usually applied each co-owner's own share of the registered value has to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and the treatment of spouses can differ under the regulations in force at the time of application. As simple arithmetic at starting prices, an equal two-way split of a 1 Bedroom Apartment at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K gives AED 1.35M ≈ USD 368K each, below the line, while an equal split of a 2 Bedroom + Maid Apartment at AED 4.70M ≈ USD 1.28M gives AED 2.35M ≈ USD 640K each, above it. The ownership percentages written on the registration decide the outcome.
A mortgaged property is commonly accepted for the Golden Visa, usually with a no-objection letter from the lending bank and conditions on how much of the value the owner has paid, as set by the authorities at the time of application. At City Walk Crestlane 4 the 25% balance falls due at handover, expected in Q2 2030, so buyers planning to finance that payment should check the conditions in force before relying on the financed apartment for residency.
The program currently allows a property-based Golden Visa holder to sponsor close family members such as a spouse and children, subject to the documents and conditions required by the residency authorities when each application is made. The sponsoring rights attach to the investor's visa, not to the apartment, so they follow the same eligibility assessment of the City Walk Crestlane 4 purchase.
No. Buyers who purchase City Walk Crestlane 4 through this advisory receive the VIP Golden Visa application service free: preparing the documents, filing the application and tracking its status. The service is free; the official government fees still apply, at the amounts the issuing authorities publish when the application is filed.
No. A qualifying purchase makes a buyer eligible to apply, but the decision belongs to the UAE authorities, who check ownership records, run the usual security screening and apply whichever requirements are current when the file is lodged. The project's DLD record and its dated register readings are followed on the City Walk Crestlane 4 construction updates page.
