Taiyo Residences – LMD Apartments at Wasl Gate, Dubai
A single 14-storey building wrapped around a podium pool at Wasl Gate — a three-minute walk from Festival Plaza and the Energy metro station. Studios to three-bedroom apartments, handover Q1 2028.
Taiyo Residences — Light, Space and a Three-Minute Walk to the Metro
Taiyo means sun. LMD built the whole scheme around daylight — floor-to-ceiling windows, deep balconies and open layouts — and put it on one of the few Dubai plots where you can walk to a mall and a metro station.
LMD
LMD — Landmark Sabbour Development — is an Egyptian developer founded in Cairo in 2007, working across Egypt, the UAE, Spain and Greece. Led by CEO Eng. Amr Sultan, the company has delivered more than 60 projects, among them One Ninety in New Cairo, Continental Tower in Dubai Marina and Muntaner 91 in Barcelona.
Taiyo Residences is an AED 400 million scheme unveiled at the International Property Show 2025 — LMD's design-led approach applied to a walkable Dubai address rather than a landmark tower.
Taiyo Residences — Wasl Gate, Dubai
Wasl Gate sits on Sheikh Zayed Road at Jebel Ali, built around Festival Plaza and the IKEA store, with the Energy metro station on the doorstep. It is one of the few Dubai districts where a mall, a supermarket and a metro platform are genuinely within walking distance of the front door.

Taiyo Residences
A walkable address, which Dubai rarely sells.
Most Dubai schemes are a drive from everything. Taiyo is three minutes on foot from a mall and a metro station, and it puts a full amenity deck on the podium rather than a token gym in the basement.
Three Minutes On Foot
Festival Plaza, IKEA and the Energy metro station are a walk, not a drive — the single fact that separates this plot from most of the market.
The Podium Deck
The building wraps a courtyard holding the lap pool, kids' pool and pool deck, so the amenities sit inside the block rather than beside it.
A Lobby With A Tree In It
Double-height entrance in marble and pale timber, built around a single specimen tree under a skylight.
Designed Around Daylight
Floor-to-ceiling windows, deep balconies and open layouts — the brochure's stated brief was to let light do the work.
Padel, Not Just A Gym
Padel court, indoor and outdoor gyms and a martial arts studio, alongside the games room and co-working space.
Quiet Rooms And Loud Ones
A silent wellness lounge and a reading corner at one end; billiards, table tennis and a games room at the other.

60/40 — and the forty comes after you have the keys.
Booking is AED 50,000. Twenty per cent plus DLD fees falls due within seven days, then six instalments of five per cent across construction, ten per cent at handover, and the remaining forty per cent in eight instalments over the two years that follow handover. That last part is the point of this plan: you can be living in the apartment, or letting it, while you are still paying for it. The 4% DLD transfer fee is charged on top.
Why Taiyo Residences Is Worth Knowing at Wasl Gate
For Rent
Walkability is what tenants in this price bracket actually pay for, and there is very little of it in Dubai under AED 1M. A three-minute walk to Festival Plaza and the Energy metro station puts Taiyo in front of the Jebel Ali and Dubai Marina working population without a car.
For the Long Hold
The 40% post-handover tail means the asset can start earning before it is fully paid for — the strongest argument this plan has. The honest counterweights: Wasl Gate is a district still filling in, the studio entry has already moved from AED 585,000 at launch to AED 707,000 on the July 2025 list, and a single 379-unit building means everything that comes to resale competes with everything else in the same lobby.
