How The edit at D3 compares
Entry here is AED 2.0M, against a median of AED 2.1M across the 5 priced projects in Dubai Design District, which puts it above 1 of them and below 3. The plan opens at 20% down, against a Dubai median of 10%, so it asks 10% more up front than the typical plan. Handover lands in Q1 2030, alongside 29 other projects completing in the same quarter. Meraas Holding has 62 projects in our catalogue, 3 of them in Dubai Design District.
Measured across our own catalogue of Dubai off-plan projects, refreshed with the source listings. Entry price is the lowest advertised unit price in a project, not an average transaction value.
What you pay, and when
The published payment plan is 20% on booking, 55% during construction and 25% at handover. At the AED 2,000,000 entry price, that is AED 400,000 to reserve a unit, AED 1,100,000 across the build, and AED 500,000 due on completion.
Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 80,000 at this entry price. That 20% booking payment does not go to Meraas Holding directly: under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 a registered project holds it in a RERA-supervised escrow account, drawn down against certified construction progress.
What the entry price works out at
The cheapest unit with a published size is 754 square feet at AED 2,000,000, which works out at AED 2,653 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 754 to 13,026 square feet.
Ownership and residency
The edit at D3 is a freehold development, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The entry price is at or above 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 penthouses in 1 to 5 bedroom layouts. 1 bedroom units start at AED 2,000,000 and 5 bedroom units at AED 34,100,000, so one building covers a first rental purchase and a family home. Sales have not opened yet, so the published figures are launch guidance rather than a live price list.
What is on site
Shared facilities recorded for The edit at D3 lead with cinema, alongside the indoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, restaurants, CCTV security, gymnasium and children's play area that most Dubai developments carry. 84 floor plans are published for it.
