Projects in Dubai Design District

From Entry Apartments to Top-Floor Penthouses: New Projects in Dubai Design District

Dubai Design District is a dedicated design and creative quarter within Dubai, where residential development forms part of a larger mixed-use footprint. The off-plan market here is compact, spread across three sub-areas: Artistry One Residences, Atelis at D3, and Design Quarter.

A Median of AED 2,050,000 Across Four Property Types

The price median is AED 2,050,000, with entry from AED 1,750,000. The ceiling reaches AED 34,100,000, a wide spread that tracks the property type mix:

Apartments are the most frequent type and keep the market anchored around the median. Penthouses appear in three of the five projects, pulling the upper bound well above the midpoint. That concentration of premium product signals meaningful buyer appetite for top-tier units within the district. Duplexes and villas each appear in one project, for buyers seeking more floor area within the D3 address.

Two Developers, Handovers Running to January 2030

Meraas Holding and Select Group are the two developers active in the current pipeline. With only two names spanning five projects, the counterparty list is short. Buyers assessing delivery history and resale prospects face fewer variables here than in districts where a larger number of names compete. The minimum down payment is 10%, a low entry point relative to typical Dubai off-plan requirements.

Completions run from February 2027 through January 2030, giving buyers entering now a window that ranges from a few months to just over three years of off-plan exposure. No projects carry post-handover plans, so the full price closes at or before handover. Amenities across the projects lean toward family and leisure infrastructure: indoor pools, a cinema, children's play areas, and on-site restaurants. That pattern favours permanent residents and households over short-let buyers.
