Dubai Design District (d3): every project in the Orven collection

Dubai Design District, widely known by its shorthand d3, began as a hub of design studios, galleries and brand offices, with a residential offer that has only recently started to grow. The Orven selection currently covers 5 of these residential projects, developed by Meraas and Select Group. This guide lays out what each one publishes, side by side, so you can see where they differ before asking your adviser for a detailed comparison.

Reading the collection: Meraas's original community, and Select Group's newer towers

Meraas built the first residential wave at d3: Design Quarter at d3, the district's first residential community, is now sold out, as is Atélis at d3, the single waterfront tower on the Creekside edge. The Edit at d3, also by Meraas, remains open for reservation along the Dubai Canal edge of the district. Select Group arrived more recently with its two Artistry towers, Artistry One Residences, which publishes a starting price and a simple 50/50 payment plan, and Artistry Two Residences, which publishes a staged payment plan but not yet a starting price.

Which project for which goal

A buyer who wants current availability looks first at The Edit at d3 or Artistry Two Residences, since Design Quarter at d3 and Atélis at d3 are both listed as sold out by their developer. A buyer comparing published starting prices has The Edit at d3 and Artistry One Residences both at or near the AED 2 million mark, while Design Quarter at d3 publishes the lowest starting price in the collection. Someone planning around the Golden Visa threshold looks at Artistry One Residences or The Edit at d3, both published at or above AED 2 million, under conditions confirmed by the relevant authorities. None of this amounts to one project being better than another; it depends on your budget, your timeline and whether Select Group's newer towers or Meraas's established community suits you better.

What d3 offers as a neighbourhood

Dubai Design District remains defined by its creative core, design studios, galleries and brand offices, with a residential offer that has grown from Meraas's original Design Quarter and Atélis towers to Select Group's newer Artistry releases and Meraas's own expansion with The Edit at d3 along the Dubai Canal. It draws residents who work in or around the design, fashion and media sectors and want to live close to their workplace, alongside a wider pool of buyers simply looking for a design-led address. Our d3 area page lists every project from the Orven selection in the district in one place.
