Design Quarter

Design Quarter is a Meraas project in Dubai Design District, sold off-plan with prices from AED 1.87M. It is the first residential project in a district that until recently was entirely commercial.

Dubai Design District, known as d3, is the TECOM free zone for design, fashion and architecture firms, on the creek side of Downtown and five to eight minutes from Dubai Mall by car. Dubai Holding has announced a residential masterplan along the creek and Ras Al Khor, but the district is small and will stay small; that scarcity is the argument for buying. Two cautions: d3 has no metro station of its own, Business Bay being the nearest, and there is no school inside the district. Tenants are the creative and corporate firms in the d3 offices and the overflow from Downtown, who pay for the address and the creek views. Rental data is thin because the stock is new, so we treat d3 as a capital-preservation purchase rather than a cash-flow one.

Because Design Quarter is the district's first homes, there is no neighbouring building to benchmark it against; the nearest comparison is Downtown pricing, and we can show how the two sit side by side. Ask us for the unit list, the plans and the price by layout, and we will arrange a walk through d3 itself, which is the quickest way to decide whether a district without a metro or a school suits the way you intend to use the property.
