How Design Quarter compares

Entry here is AED 6.6M, against a median of AED 2.4M across the 3 priced projects in Dubai Design District, the highest entry price in the community. The plan opens at 10% down, against a Dubai median of 20%, so it asks 10 points less up front than the typical plan. Handover lands in Q2 2027, alongside 131 other projects completing in the same quarter. Meraas has 38 projects in our catalogue, 2 of them in Dubai Design District.

Master plan

The developer’s own site plan for Design Quarter, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.

What you pay, and when

The published payment plan is 10% on booking, 30% during construction and 60% at handover. At the AED 6,614,000 entry price, that is AED 661,000 to reserve a unit, AED 1,984,000 across the build, and AED 3,968,000 due on completion.

The Dubai Land Department registration fee is 4% of the purchase price, payable on top: about AED 265,000 at this entry price. The 10% booking payment sits in a RERA-supervised escrow account rather than with Meraas, held under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 and drawn down against certified construction progress.

What the entry price works out at

The cheapest unit with a published size is 2,019 square feet at AED 6,614,000, which works out at AED 3,276 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 2,019 to 3,305 square feet.

Handover and construction

Handover is due in Q2 2027. Construction was last recorded at 26% complete.

Ownership and residency

The entry price clears the AED 2,000,000 property threshold for the 10 year UAE golden visa, so the cheapest unit in the development qualifies on its own.

Who it suits

The development is Apartments and Duplex in 3 to 3.5 bedroom layouts. Every layout is 3 bedrooms or more and the site has children's facilities, which is family stock rather than investor stock.

What is on site

Design Quarter records swimming pool, play area, parks & gardens and yoga area among its shared facilities, alongside the gymnasium that most Dubai developments carry. The development holds 4 units in total. 4 floor plans are published for it.
