CDS Wave — Boutique Residential Development on Dubai Islands
CDS Wave is a boutique residential development by CDS Developments, located on Dubai Islands and designed as a mid-rise waterfront building with a total of 72 residences. The project is composed of a ground floor, two podium levels, twelve residential floors, and a landscaped rooftop, forming an architecturally expressive structure. The building features a sculpted façade with fluid lines, extensive glazing, and curved balconies, creating a strong visual identity inspired by the movement of waves and coastal light.
Building Structure & Architecture
The architectural concept of CDS Wave is defined by a sinuous, flowing form that rises vertically with soft curves and layered terraces. The building’s twelve residential floors sit above a carefully designed podium, integrating parking and amenities without disrupting the residential experience. Expansive glass façades frame views of the sea and surrounding skyline, while the building’s proportions maintain a boutique scale within the broader island context.
Residential Collection & Layout Philosophy
CDS Wave offers a curated mix of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom duplex residences, and 3-bedroom penthouses. All residences are delivered semi-furnished, with premium finishes, carefully selected materials, and layouts designed for practical daily use. Duplex residences introduce vertical spatial zoning and expanded living areas, and, in select units, private pools, creating a villa-style living experience.
Interior Finishes & Material Approach
Interiors across CDS Wave are defined by a restrained material palette, including natural woods, porcelain wall finishes, textured surfaces, and refined metal detailing. The design language prioritises proportion, light, and tactile quality. Floor-to-ceiling glazing enhances daylight penetration and reinforces the connection between interior spaces and outdoor terraces.
Podium Levels & Resident Amenities
The two podium levels are dedicated to resident-focused functions and daily comfort. Secure parking is integrated within the podium structure, while wellness amenities are positioned as private, semi-enclosed spaces for residents. The podium includes a fully equipped gym, spa facilities, and swimming pool facilities, forming a sheltered leisure zone separated from street-level activity.
Rooftop Lifestyle Concept
The rooftop at CDS Wave is conceived as a signature social and leisure space. It features an infinity-edge swimming pool, a rooftop bar and lounge, and designated areas for gatherings and outdoor dining, including a barbecue zone. Positioned above the residential floors, the rooftop offers open views toward the sea and skyline, functioning as an extension of the living environment.

CDS Wave is located on Dubai Islands, within a coastal setting characterised by beaches, marinas, and walkable waterfront routes. The project is positioned within walking distance of the beach and benefits from the wider island master plan, which integrates residential zones, leisure infrastructure, and hospitality destinations.

Location Advantages of CDS Wave at Dubai Islands
CDS Wave is located on Dubai Islands — Island A (The Central Island), the core residential and lifestyle zone of the master development. Dubai Islands is planned as a large-scale waterfront destination combining residential communities, beaches, marinas, hospitality clusters, leisure infrastructure, and public waterfront spaces. The master plan is designed to support permanent residency, with a focus on walkability, coastal access, and integrated daily-use amenities.
Across Dubai Islands, infrastructure includes an extensive network of public beaches, marina promenades, resorts, wellness and leisure destinations, and mixed-use zones with retail and dining. The area is planned to accommodate hotels, serviced residences, cultural and recreational facilities, and family-oriented public spaces, creating consistent activity throughout the year. This mixed-use approach supports long-term residential demand and ensures that daily services and leisure options are available within short distances.
Island A functions as the central and most established part of Dubai Islands, concentrating residential projects, community infrastructure, and primary access routes. The island is designed around marina zones and pedestrian-friendly waterfront routes, allowing residents to move between residential buildings, beaches, promenades, and lifestyle amenities on foot. Island A also benefits from proximity to planned retail clusters and community facilities, reinforcing its role as the main residential hub within the development.
Connectivity is a key advantage of Island A. Dubai Islands are linked to mainland Dubai via established road connections, providing efficient access to Deira, Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Dubai International Airport. This allows CDS Wave to combine the practical advantages of island living—coastal setting and reduced density—with direct connectivity to Dubai’s business, commercial, and transport centres, making the location suitable for full-time residence and long-term investment.
