Al Wasl
Nine Collective is a 44-storey residential tower forming part of Wasl 1, one of Dubai's most established freehold master communities.
Located in the historic Al Kifaf district, directly adjacent to Zabeel Park, the development sits five minutes from Dubai World Trade Centre, ten minutes from DIFC and Downtown Dubai, and fifteen minutes from DXB International Airport. Two metro stations are within walking distance.
The tower comprises 215 residences across two bedroom apartments, three and four bedroom units, duplex configurations, and five bedroom duplex penthouses. Every home includes a maid's room, with sizes ranging from approximately 1,946 sq ft for a two bedroom up to 8,253 sq ft for the top tier penthouses. Select layouts on lower floors include private terraces with jacuzzis, while the penthouse tier offers private rooftop pools. Interiors follow a warm, neutral palette with premium finishes throughout. Kitchens come fully fitted with integrated appliances including dishwashers, fridges and washer dryers. Wet areas use moisture resistant gypsum board ceilings. Wardrobes feature laminate and glass accents depending on unit type. The building's architecture takes its form from nine evolving geometric modules that shift across the floors, creating a structure that reads differently from every angle. The façade is stone-like in appearance with glass and aluminium detailing, and generous curved balconies on every level.
The podium houses retail, food and beverage outlets, and an extensive range of resident amenities including an indoor gym, outdoor fitness deck, 25 metre lap pool, sky infinity pool, adult pool and lounge, spa and sauna rooms, private cinema, indoor padel court, multipurpose event hall, residents library lounge, kids play zones, family hub, and BBQ stations on podium level.
The tower uses district cooling and is fitted with IP based video intercom, CCTV, access control, and a gate barrier system throughout.
Wasl is government backed, removing the counterparty risk that exists with smaller or less established Dubai developers and offering a level of delivery certainty that matters when committing capital off plan.
Al Kifaf sits between two of Dubai's most undersupplied residential corridors, DIFC and Downtown, meaning demand for quality rental stock in this location consistently outpaces available inventory.
Zabeel Park frontage is a permanent, unobstructable amenity that directly supports long term capital value in the same way that waterfront or golf course addresses do in more mature markets.
The Wasl 1 masterplan creates a self-contained mixed use environment, which historically drives rental premiums as tenants pay for the convenience of retail, F&B and leisure within the same address.
With only 215 units across 44 floors, Nine Collective is genuinely limited in supply, and that scarcity relative to surrounding developments gives resale and rental pricing more room to hold firm under market pressure.
Two metro stations within close walking distance expand the tenant pool significantly, particularly to DIFC and SZR professionals who rely on public transport, which is a segment of the Dubai rental market that is growing year on year.
The five bedroom duplex penthouses with private rooftop pools occupy a bracket of the market with almost no comparable new supply in this location, which matters both for rental income ceiling and eventual exit pricing.
Four and five bedroom duplex units in a connected, amenity-rich tower targeting a cosmopolitan occupier base are well positioned to attract long-term corporate tenants, reducing void periods and supporting stable net yields.
Infrastructure improvements along the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor and the continued expansion of the DIFC financial district continue to pull high income occupier demand south towards this part of the city, supporting medium term price growth.
Wasl's track record of holding and managing assets over the long term means the surrounding masterplan is unlikely to deteriorate in quality post-handover, which protects the investment thesis beyond the initial purchase and stabilisation phase.
