LMD
The later release inside LMD’s Taiyo building at Wasl Gate: studios to three-bedroom apartments, sky terraces and a starting price of AED 675,000 — about AED 90,000 above the building’s original release.
This is a release rather than a separate tower as far as anyone has published — LMD has not issued a distinct project page, and brokers describe it as a collection within Taiyo at Wasl Gate. The starting price, sizes and completion date come from broker material and are labelled as such; the portal carries no listing. Ask which plate, which floors and which handover date in the sale and purchase agreement before comparing it with the original Taiyo release.
The Collection at Taiyo is the second, pricier release inside LMD’s Taiyo building at Wasl Gate. The unit mix is the same shape — studios through three-bedroom apartments, roughly 377 to 1,376 sq ft — but the marketing adds sky terraces, and the entry price moves up by about AED 90,000 against the original release.
Whether that premium is worth paying depends entirely on what it buys, and that is the first thing to establish. On a building sold in phases, a later release is usually better floors, better views, larger plates or a different fit-out package — but not always, and the difference is not published. Ask for the floor range, the aspect and the specification of the specific units in this release, and compare them with what is still available in the earlier one.
What to weigh. Two releases in the same building selling at different prices is a useful test of value. If the Collection units are higher floors with better orientation, the premium is defensible. If they are the same stack at a higher price, you are paying for the marketing name, and the earlier release is the better buy — if it is still available.
Second, the completion date and the plan work exactly as they do for the main building: brokers quote Q1 2028, and the plan is 20% at booking, 30% through construction and the balance post-handover over up to two years. The post-handover portion is the part worth reading closely, particularly any charge attached to it.
Third, the market case is the same as for Taiyo: a metro-connected master community at Jebel Ali, lower rents than the Marina, and a lot of competing studio and one-bedroom supply. The Collection’s bigger units are the more interesting purchase — three-bedrooms in Wasl Gate are scarcer than studios, and family tenants stay longer.
Compiled November 2026 from broker and launch-partner listings for The Collection at Taiyo and LMD’s published Dubai project statements. LMD has no Dubai project website and publishes no price list; the portal carries no listing. The release is not separately documented by the developer, so the relationship between it and the original Taiyo release should be confirmed before publication or purchase.
The published range is studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments from about 377 to 1,376 sq ft — the same envelope as the main Taiyo release, with the marketing emphasis on sky terraces and higher floors.
| Type | Size (broker-quoted) | From |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | c. 377 sq ft | AED 675,000 |
| 1 bedroom | c. 600–800 sq ft | Ask for current release |
| 2 bedroom | c. 900–1,100 sq ft | Ask for current release |
| 3 bedroom | up to 1,376 sq ft | Ask for current release |
At AED 675,000 the studio rate is about AED 1,790 per square foot — roughly 15% above the original Taiyo release at AED 585,000 for the same stated size. That is a meaningful premium for a building in the same community, so the comparison question is not Taiyo versus the market, it is Collection versus what is left in the first phase.
Ask for the per-type price list. On a release marketed around terraces, the top-floor units are usually the ones carrying the premium, and a mid-floor unit in the same release may price much closer to the earlier phase.
The plan follows the main Taiyo structure as quoted by brokers: 20% at booking, 30% during construction, and the balance after handover over up to two years.
| Stage | Share (broker-quoted) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| On booking | 20% | At reservation |
| During construction | 30% | Instalments to completion, Q1 2028 |
| After handover | c. 50% | Over up to two years, per brokers |
On a AED 675,000 studio the booking payment is about AED 135,000. Ask whether the release carries the same plan as the main building or its own terms — later releases sometimes tighten the schedule — and whether the post-handover portion is developer-funded or bank-arranged.
Two documents matter here: the sale and purchase agreement with the schedule written into it, and the payment plan annex showing exactly when each instalment falls. Ask for both before reserving.
Amenity is shared with Taiyo and, beyond that, with Wasl Gate, so the honest list is short and the master community does most of the work:
If a private pool on a sky terrace is what is being sold to you, ask three questions: whether it is a plunge pool or a jacuzzi, who maintains it, and whether the maintenance sits inside your service charge or on the unit. On small terraces these are usually plunge pools with a pump and a filter, and they are a real running cost.
The address is Wasl Gate at Jebel Ali First, on the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor between Dubai Marina and Ibn Battuta, with the Energy metro station at the community entrance. That is the same proposition as the main Taiyo building: a Red Line station, a major road and a mall on the doorstep, at rents well below the Marina.
Within the community, position matters. Ask for the plot on a master plan and the walking distance to the metro, the retail centre and the gate — Wasl Gate is large enough that two buildings with the same postcode can have very different commutes.
The wider bet is the corridor. Jebel Ali and Dubai South are where a large share of Dubai’s infrastructure spending is going, and a metro-connected address at this price is how most buyers here are positioning. It is a five-to-ten year argument, not a two-year one.
A later release marketed within LMD's Taiyo building at Wasl Gate, Jebel Ali, offering studios to three-bedroom apartments with sky terraces on selected units. LMD has not published separate documentation for it.
The unit envelope is the same — about 377 to 1,376 sq ft — but the entry price is higher (AED 675,000 against AED 585,000) and the marketing emphasises higher floors and sky terraces. Confirm what the premium buys before comparing.
Brokers quote from AED 675,000. LMD publishes no price list and the portal carries no listing, so ask for the price by type and floor.
Brokers list Q1 2028 for the Collection. Confirm the date in the sale and purchase agreement, and check whether it differs from the main building.
20% at booking, 30% during construction and the balance after handover over up to two years, as quoted by brokers. Ask whether the release has its own terms.
Sky terraces on selected units, a shared building pool and gym, and the Wasl Gate community's retail, landscaping and metro access.
It is pleasant and it is a running cost. Ask whether it is a plunge pool, who maintains it and whether the maintenance is inside the service charge.
Wasl Gate is a freehold master community in Dubai. Confirm the title structure and registration route for the specific unit.
Only if the premium buys better floors, orientation or specification. On the same stack at a 15% higher rate, the earlier release is the better buy — so ask what is left in both.
