Eligibility Snapshot
City Walk Northline 2 Golden Visa Facts
City Walk Northline 2 is a Meraas development of 190 freehold apartments in two low-rise buildings joined by a podium in City Walk. The Dubai Land Department register lists it as project number 2972, registered on 4 March 2024, with construction started on 10 August 2024 and a register reading of 37.06% dated 19 August 2026. For a residency buyer the deciding numbers are the prices: the 1 bedroom starts at AED 2.15M ≈ USD 585K, the 2 bedroom at AED 4.50M ≈ USD 1.23M and the 3 bedroom at AED 7.26M ≈ USD 1.98M. Each type therefore reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value the Golden Visa program currently asks for on its own, under the rules in force on the day you apply. The 1 bedroom does so with only AED 150K ≈ USD 41K to spare, which is the single figure on this page worth a second look. Handover is expected in Q3 2027, the point at which the Oqood gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which City Walk Northline 2 Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
For an apartment launch, City Walk Northline 2 is unusual: even the smallest layout is priced above the Golden Visa line, so residency does not dictate which apartment you choose. What changes from type to type is the margin. The 2 and 3 bedroom apartments sit comfortably clear of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, while the 1 bedroom clears it by AED 150K ≈ USD 41K, which makes the registered price of the exact unit you reserve the number to check first.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 688 to 813 sq ft (64 to 76 sq m) | AED 2.15M ≈ USD 585K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,128 to 1,474 sq ft (105 to 137 sq m) | AED 4.50M ≈ USD 1.23M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 2,155 to 3,356 sq ft (200 to 312 sq m) | AED 7.26M ≈ USD 1.98M | Yes |
| All three apartment types at City Walk Northline 2 clear the threshold individually at their starting prices; the 1 bedroom does so by the narrowest margin. | |||
Check the registered price, not the advertised price: eligibility follows the purchase value recorded by the Dubai Land Department, on the Oqood and later on the title deed, and that recorded price must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. A 1 bedroom from AED 2.15M ≈ USD 585K leaves only AED 150K ≈ USD 41K of headroom, so confirm that no discount or price revision takes your specific unit below the line before you sign. A resale unit registered under AED 2M ≈ USD 545K falls outside the threshold by itself.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at City Walk Northline 2 Can Apply
Meraas has published a 20/55/25 plan for City Walk Northline 2: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 55% during construction, and 25% on handover. An off-plan application normally rests on the Oqood, the interim registration recorded with the Dubai Land Department after the sale, backed by evidence that the purchase reaches the qualifying value and meets whatever paid-amount condition the land and residency authorities apply when you file.
My read on the timing: the plan asks for only 20% up front, and the published split gives no dates for the 55% construction share, so the moment a buyer satisfies a paid-amount condition is set by the instalment schedule in the Sales and Purchase Agreement, not by anything printed here. With the Dubai Land Department register at 37.06% on 19 August 2026, that leaves two realistic windows. Buyers who want residency early, for a family move or UAE banking, can generally apply on the strength of the Oqood once the conditions in force are met during construction. Buyers with no deadline often prefer to wait for the Q3 2027 handover, when the 25% balance is settled, the title deed is issued, and the file rests on completed ownership. Off-plan conditions are commonly applied and updated from time to time, so confirm the current requirement before you submit.
VIP processing at no service fee: when you buy through me, I handle the application paperwork, the submission and the status follow-up for you. The service is free; government fees apply, paid at the rates the issuing authorities set when you apply.

City Walk Northline 2 Insights for Residency Buyers
Clearing AED 2M ≈ USD 545K is only one part of a sound residency purchase at City Walk Northline 2. Buyers should also follow the register readings that lead to the title deed, and confirm how the escrow account holds each instalment until it is released. The guides below cover both.

City Walk Northline 2 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
All three. The 1 bedroom starts at AED 2.15M ≈ USD 585K, the 2 bedroom at AED 4.50M ≈ USD 1.23M and the 3 bedroom at AED 7.26M ≈ USD 1.98M, so each type reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa individually at its starting price, under the rules in force at the time of application. Eligibility follows the registered purchase value of the specific unit, and the full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
The purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department, first on the Oqood and later on the title deed, not the advertised starting price. That registered value must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The City Walk Northline 2 1 bedroom starts at AED 2.15M ≈ USD 585K, only AED 150K ≈ USD 41K above the threshold, so any discount, incentive or price change on a particular 1 bedroom unit should be checked against the registered figure before signing. The 2 and 3 bedroom apartments sit well clear of the line.
Off-plan buyers can generally apply before completion on the strength of an Oqood-registered purchase, provided the qualifying value and any paid-amount conditions in force at the time of application are met; those conditions are commonly applied and updated from time to time. City Walk Northline 2 is under construction with handover expected in Q3 2027, so buyers who prefer a file built on completed ownership can instead apply once the title deed is issued at handover. Both routes are explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
Meraas has published a 20/55/25 plan for City Walk Northline 2: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 55% during construction and 25% on handover. The registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price and is not part of the purchase value assessed for the visa. The published split carries no instalment dates, so the point at which a buyer meets any paid-amount condition depends on the schedule in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.
Joint purchases have commonly been assessed on each owner's share of the registered value, under the rules in force at the time of application. On a 2 bedroom at AED 4.50M ≈ USD 1.23M, an equal two-way split gives each owner AED 2.25M ≈ USD 613K; on a 3 bedroom at AED 7.26M ≈ USD 1.98M, each half is AED 3.63M ≈ USD 988K. The 1 bedroom at AED 2.15M ≈ USD 585K suits a single owner, since an equal split would leave each share well under the threshold. The treatment of spouses and other co-owners should be confirmed before purchase.
A mortgage does not by itself rule out eligibility. Financed property has commonly been accepted where the lending bank confirms the position and the conditions in force at the time of application are met, which have included requirements on the amount already paid. Because the City Walk Northline 2 1 bedroom sits only AED 150K ≈ USD 41K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, buyers planning to finance should confirm the current treatment of mortgaged and off-plan property before relying on it.
The Golden Visa program has allowed holders to sponsor a spouse and children, with sponsorship rules set by the UAE residency authorities and subject to the conditions in force when the application is made. A single qualifying apartment at City Walk Northline 2 supports the principal application, and what each dependant needs is covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
No. When the purchase is made through this advisory, the VIP application service handles preparing the documents, filing the application and tracking its status. The service is free; government fees apply and are paid to the issuing authorities at the rates in force at the time of application.
No. Owning a qualifying apartment allows you to submit an application, but the decision rests with the UAE residency authorities, who apply the requirements in force on the day you apply, including checks on ownership records and standard security screening. Progress toward the Q3 2027 handover is logged on the City Walk Northline 2 construction updates page.
