Full floor 3-bedroom apartment at One Canal, Al Wasl

This full-floor home, spanning a massive 18,930 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, is a rare one that has been entirely redesigned as a luxury three-bedroom apartment. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass wrap around the property, framing a bird's-eye view of the Dubai Water Canal, the Arabian Gulf, Safa Park, and the iconic Burj Khalifa skyline. From day one, the vision for this home was clear to create a space built for living contentedly, all amenities dressed to the nines for high-end entertaining.

The Tour

Step off the private elevator and watch expansive formal and casual living areas unfold around the floor plate. Each is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass that puts the skyline on permanent display. This penthouse is designed in two registers, there’s one side that serves as a peaceful nest for everyday family life, while the other is equipped to paint the town red.

Then there is a family room for the quieter register, built around a large television for easy nights in, a private office for workdays, and three spacious bedroom suites, each designed as an individual oasis.

For entertaining, the residence features a billiards room, a golf simulator for practicing your swing, a dedicated private cinema, and a cabinet bar fitted with glass-fronted humidors. A chef’s kitchen with comprehensive ancillary spaces rounds out a list of amenities rarely found in a private house.

Then there is the terrace. Offering a slice of paradise that is resort-like in scale, it features a private swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a sunken lounge, and multiple distinct spaces where you can pull out all the stops for alfresco dining and hosting. At dusk, as the water and skyline light up the night, you realize you aren't just looking at the city, you are sitting on top of the world. It is the ultimate private resort, right in your own backyard.

Downstairs, residents enjoy access to The Luxury Garage, call it a design-led gallery for exclusive car collections that is as much showroom as parking, alongside covered bays and full valet service.

The Area

This residence sits within a building where architecture and interiors are both given attention: Killa Design for the structure, Hirsch Bedner Associates for the interiors. This is one of Dubai's most prestigious addresses for a reason, directly on the Dubai Water Canal, within reach of Safa Park's green space and a short distance from Downtown Dubai and the wider Business Bay corridor. From here, the Burj Khalifa is a part of the daily view.
