The collection has 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom duplexes and 3-bedroom penthouses. The sinuous, wave-like form has curved balconies, large glass façades and a rooftop with an infinity-edge pool and bar lounge. Sources: brochure (PDF)
The developer says
A wave-inspired tower where expansive glass surfaces, curated details and flowing spaces combine refined design with a cosmopolitan spirit, according to the brochure text. As given on propsearch.ae
The market says
Too few sales on record to say.
James Paul Booth
“CDS Wave is off-plan, due in 2027, so no owner has sold a completed home here yet. I see no sale here in the last 90 days. I would wait, or buy a completed home next door where the record is clear.”

Construction progress: not found

We found no public progress record for this tower. Ask the developer for the latest inspection report from the Land Department.

Payment plan: not found

We checked the pages we hold for this tower and found no payment plan that passed our checks. We do not guess one. Ask the developer for the current plan.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 22 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

Type
No sales and no listings.

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 0 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

Too few resale sales to state a yearly change

0 resale sales in the last 12 months and 0 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.

Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.

Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most. Grey bars have fewer than 3 sales.

The official record: 2 registered sales since 2022

Dubai Land Department register for "CDS Wave", 12 Oct 2022 to 12 Feb 2026: 2 other sales. This source has every year and every unit type, but no unit numbers.

Median AED per sq ft is shown for 3 or more sales in a year. 0 of these sales were off-plan and 2 were of completed units. What our unit list above does not have: sales before 2020; mortgages and gifts. For homes from 2020 to 12 Feb 2026 the register has 0 sales and our unit list has 0.

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from CDS Wave, and the towers within 150 m that can stand in the way. What a home really sees depends on its floor and its side of the building. We do not have the unit positions for this tower yet, so we cannot tell you the view of one unit.

No resident reviews: the tower is not built

Nobody lives in CDS Wave yet, so there is nothing a resident can tell you. Reviews you see elsewhere under this name are about the sales office, the developer or another building. What we can show is below: what the developer and the documents say about the project. We add resident reviews after handover.

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 2020 to 22 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (aigentsrealty.com, binayah.com, buydubaioffplan.com, primocapital.ae, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 26 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: sales, live listings, a Google Maps place, resident reviews, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, a licensed photo.
