The Edit at in Dubai Design District (d3) by Meraas

The Edit at d3 is a trio of sculptural waterfront residential towers by Meraas located in Dubai Design District. The development comprises 557 residences across Tower A (30 floors), Tower B (37 floors), and Tower C (33 floors). Homes include 1- to 4-bedroom apartments and three ultra-exclusive 5-bedroom penthouses with private pools. The towers are designed with flowing facades, integrated sky gardens, and continuous balconies framing views of Dubai Creek and the Dubai skyline.

The development offers 1-bedroom apartments from 754 to 862 sq.ft, 2-bedroom apartments from 1,200 to 1,436 sq.ft, 3-bedroom apartments with maid’s rooms from 2,150 to 2,697 sq.ft, and 4-bedroom apartments with maid’s rooms from approximately 2,975 sq.ft. The three exclusive 5-bedroom penthouses reach approximately 9,756 sq.ft, with private pools, double-height living areas, and expansive terraces overlooking Dubai Creek and Downtown Dubai.

Prices start from AED 2 million for 1-bedroom apartments, AED 4 million for 2-bedroom units, AED 5.1 million for 2-bedroom with maid’s room, AED 7.7 million for 3-bedroom apartments, AED 10.7 million for 4-bedroom units, and AED 34.1 million for the 5-bedroom penthouses. All units priced above AED 2 million qualify for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa.

The Edit at d3 follows a 75/25 payment plan: 20% on booking, 55% across construction milestones, and 25% on handover in June 2030. This structure provides buyers with over four years of staged payments, making it accessible for both end-users and investors seeking to manage cash flow across the construction period.

Handover is expected in June 2030, with some sources indicating staged tower delivery beginning in Q1 to Q2 2030. Meraas is a government-linked master developer with a consistent track record of delivering landmark projects including Bluewaters Residences, Bvlgari Residences, City Walk, and La Mer. The DLD permit number for The Edit is 1793194087.

The amenity podium includes a resort-style family pool and lap pool, private cabanas, BBQ terraces, a yoga and wellness studio, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a padel court, integrated sky gardens, co-working and gallery spaces, a private cinema room, family lounges, social terraces, and sunken garden courtyards. The double-height lobby features 24-hour concierge and valet service, and EV charging stations are provided throughout the development.

The three towers are designed with soft, flowing facades, curved corners, continuous panoramic balconies, and integrated sky gardens that bring greenery directly into the tower profiles. This sculptural form is intentional — the project draws on d3’s identity as a creative and design district, treating architecture as an art object in its own right. Interiors are finished in natural stone, warm-tone materials, premium kitchen joinery, stone vanity tops, feature shower walls, and custom kitchen islands. Penthouses feature marble flooring, veneer doors, and spa-inspired bathrooms.

The Edit is located on the Dubai Creek waterfront within Dubai Design District, between Downtown Dubai and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. Dubai Mall and Downtown Dubai are 6 to 7 minutes away, City Walk and DIFC are within 7 to 10 minutes, and Burj Khalifa is approximately 10 minutes. Business Bay is directly adjacent. Dubai International Airport is around 15 minutes via Ras Al Khor Road. Al Meydan Road provides direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road and the broader highway network.

Dubai Design District is an 18 million sq.ft creative ecosystem masterplanned by Meraas, purpose-built as Dubai’s hub for fashion, design, art, architecture, and innovation. It is home to galleries, design studios, boutique retail, gourmet dining, and creative offices serving a growing community of regional and international brands. The district is expanding, with Meraas adding canal-front residences, cultural venues, and public spaces under a revised masterplan announced in January 2026. Limited residential supply, strong demand from creative and corporate tenants, and proximity to Downtown Dubai support rental yields of 6 to 8% and long-term capital appreciation.

The Edit offers a compelling investment profile driven by its waterfront canal location within a high-demand, supply-constrained creative district, Meraas’s brand premium and delivery credibility, the architectural distinctiveness that commands resale premiums, and the post-handover cash flow structure with 25% due at completion. Only 557 units exist across three towers, and only 3 penthouses in the entire development, ensuring exclusivity. Rental yields in d3 typically reach 6 to 8%, driven by sustained demand from design professionals, corporate tenants, and expatriates seeking a creative, well-located urban address.

Properties priced above AED 2 million qualify for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa, renewable and including family sponsorship rights. All unit types at The Edit exceed the AED 2 million threshold.
