Central Park Plaza — the final phase of Central Park at City Walk
Central Park Plaza is the closing apartment phase of Central Park at City Walk, Meraas's established district on the Al Wasl side of central Dubai. The evidence base here is unusually concentrated: a single Meraas newsroom announcement names the contractor (Naresco Contracting LLC), puts the main-works contract at more than AED 450 million, gives both tower heights and the full 212-apartment count, and states the project is "slated to be handed over in Q3 2027". [1]
OffplanInsight is an independent research site for buyers, not the developer's sales desk. Off-plan means you pay over years before you get keys. The job of this page is to separate what that one announcement actually proves from what remains the developer's own schedule — including the Q3 2027 date, which is a target that can move.

Who it’s for
Buyers who prefer paying a premium for the closing phase of an already-functioning central district over taking early-phase risk elsewhere, and whose plans absorb a Q3 2027 target plus possible slippage. [1]
Who it’s not for
Buyers needing keys before late 2027, chasing launch-stage discount economics, or unwilling to run the RERA, escrow and price verification the public record does not yet cover. [1]
What the contract announcement proves
- Developer — Meraas (Dubai Holding Real Estate member) (high) [1]
- Contract — main construction works worth more than AED 450 million, awarded to Naresco Contracting LLC (high) [1]
- Buildings — Tower A rises to 23 floors, Tower B to 20 floors (high) [1]
- Homes — a total of 212 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, plus spacious four-bedroom townhouses and exclusive penthouses (high) [1]
- Positioning — described by Meraas as the final addition to Central Park at City Walk and its most premium phase of apartments (high) [1]
- Handover — slated for Q3 2027; a stated target, not a promise enforceable by buyers (med) [1]
- Not in the announcement — prices, instalment split, RERA registration, escrow account, service charges (unknown)
Portal listings advertise entry figures for Plaza; none could be checked against a developer price list, so this page carries no price at all rather than an unverified one. [2]
Buying the last phase of a built community
The "final addition" wording matters more than the marketing gloss around it. Earlier Central Park buildings such as Viridian and Myrtle already show as complete on City Walk's building index, so a Plaza buyer enters a functioning neighbourhood inside Al Wasl rather than waiting for a district to materialise around a construction site. [2]
The flip side of a closing phase is its pricing logic: Meraas itself bills Plaza as the most premium phase of Central Park apartments, so the risk discount you might expect from early-phase off-plan is unlikely to be on the table. [1] Weigh the new-build premium against completed Central Park resale stock, where finishes, service levels and running costs are observable today rather than promised.
The published amenity slate is long — pools and water play areas, a running track, a dog park, tennis and squash courts, half-court basketball, an outdoor gym, spa and sauna, a nursery, dining and retail. [1] Read it as a design specification; which items become contractual deliverables is a question for the SPA exhibits.
The Q3 2027 target, weighed
Meraas published the Q3 2027 handover in the same breath as the AED 450 million-plus contract award to Naresco. [1] A date announced alongside a signed main-works contractor is materially firmer than a brochure timeline — mobilisation money is committed and a delivery obligation exists between developer and builder. It still is not a date the buyer can enforce. Model at least a quarter or two of slippage beyond Q3 2027 in your cash planning, and reverify site progress before each large instalment. [1]
No payment schedule appears in the primary source, so none is repeated here. Ask Meraas for the SPA instalment table in writing, and check whether instalments are pegged to construction milestones or to calendar dates — the difference decides who carries delay risk.
Unverified items and pre-reservation checks
None of the items below appear in the public record this page relies on; each is a required check, not a formality.
- A dated price list naming your exact unit — portal "from" figures for Plaza are deliberately excluded here as unverified.
- The SPA payment schedule, and whether the Q3 2027 target is restated in it for your specific unit. [1]
- The RERA project registration number and the escrow account that will receive your payments.
- Which announced amenities are contractual deliverables, and the projected service charge per square foot.
- Written confirmation of tower, floor, aspect and net area — value inside a 23-floor and a 20-floor tower is position-driven. [1]
- A resale benchmark against a completed Central Park building before accepting the premium-phase price.
Bottom line
Strongly sourced: developer, contractor, a contract value above AED 450 million, both tower heights, the 212-apartment count and the Q3 2027 target — all from one Meraas announcement, and that date remains a target that can move. [1] Absent from the record: price, payment plan, RERA number, escrow and service charges; treat each as unverified until documented in your SPA. This site is independent research, not official Meraas disclosure.
FAQ
Is Central Park Plaza still off-plan?
Yes. Handover is slated for Q3 2027 and main construction sits under Naresco Contracting's AED 450 million-plus contract, so buying now means paying ahead of completion. Reconfirm live availability with Meraas before acting. [1]
What exactly did Meraas confirm about the buildings?
Tower A at 23 floors and Tower B at 20 floors, holding a combined 212 apartments from one to four bedrooms, alongside four-bedroom townhouses and penthouses. [1]
How firm is the Q3 2027 handover?
It is a developer target published with the construction-contract award, not a contractual guarantee to buyers. A signed main-works contract strengthens it, but off-plan schedules move — keep a buffer. [1]
Why does this page show no price?
Because no primary source we accept discloses one. Portal entry figures exist but could not be verified against a developer price list, so we withhold them. Ask Meraas for a dated, unit-tied quote.
What part of City Walk is this?
Central Park at City Walk, in Dubai's Al Wasl area — an established Meraas district whose earlier Central Park buildings already appear as complete on the area's building index. [2]
