Dubai Design District Payment Plans: Artistry One vs Artistry Two

Select Group's two d3 towers both target a 2029 handover but structure payments differently. Artistry One runs a flat 50/50 split from AED 2.4 million; Artistry Two stages four smaller instalments before its own 50% handover payment.

Dubai Design District payment plans currently mean comparing Select Group's two sibling towers, Artistry One and Artistry Two, both designed by Woods Bagot and both targeting 2029, but structured quite differently once you look past the shared handover date.

Artistry One: a flat 50/50

Artistry One is Select Group's first tower in the Design District, a 36-storey building overlooking the Dubai Canal and Downtown skyline. Its 227 homes run from one to three bedroom apartments to four-bedroom duplex penthouses, some with private plunge pools, above a wellness level with thermal spa facilities and ice baths. Pricing starts from AED 2.4 million, with a published 50% during construction and 50% on handover split, confirmed for 2029.

Artistry Two: staged instalments before handover

Artistry Two is the second tower in the same d3 development, following the same Woods Bagot design language, with units facing Burj Khalifa, Downtown and the Dubai Canal. Its published plan is more granular: 20% down payment, then 10% at each of 20%, 30% and 40% construction completion, then 50% on handover in 2029. Starting price is not published on the official page.

The two structures side by side

Tower	Starting price	Structure	Handover
Artistry One	AED 2.4 million	50% construction / 50% handover	2029
Artistry Two	Price on request	20% down + three 10% construction milestones + 50% handover	2029

Why Artistry Two's plan looks more detailed

Artistry One's page quotes a single construction-stage figure without breaking it into milestones, while Artistry Two's page spells out exactly which construction percentage triggers each 10% instalment. That difference in how much detail each page publishes does not necessarily reflect a difference in how far along construction actually is, your adviser confirms current progress for either tower directly.

Beyond payments, the two buildings share Select Group's wellness-forward approach: pools, a gym, spa, co-working and gaming areas feature across both releases, and both sit within the Design District's Creekside and Canal-facing stretch. If the amenity programme matters as much as the payment structure, the two towers are closer to each other than their different pricing transparency might suggest.

Escrow, registration and financing

Both towers' instalments are paid into an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, with construction progress trackable through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service, and both register through Oqood at fixed fees confirmed in the contract. Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval, with no bank or rate confirmed for either tower.

Golden Visa at Artistry One's price

A property investment of at least AED 2 million can open a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. Artistry One's AED 2.4 million starting price clears that threshold; for Artistry Two, the answer depends on the current price your adviser confirms, since no figure is published yet.

Choosing between the two towers

If you prefer a simpler, two-stage payment schedule and a confirmed entry price, Artistry One's 50/50 split may suit you better. If you want your construction-stage payments broken into smaller, milestone-linked instalments, Artistry Two's structure does that, though you will need your adviser to request the current starting price first.

What the unit mix looks like on each tower

Both towers offer one to three bedroom apartments alongside four-bedroom duplex penthouses, so the typology range itself does not help separate them. What does differ is confirmed detail: Artistry One's 227 residences and its private plunge pools on selected penthouses are both published facts, while Artistry Two's exact unit count is not specified on its official page in the same way. If a plunge pool on your penthouse matters specifically, Artistry One is the confirmed option today.

Why d3 attracts this kind of staged payment structure

Dubai Design District has grown around a mix of office, retail and increasingly residential towers, and Select Group's phased approach across Artistry One and Artistry Two reflects a broader pattern in the area: developers tend to publish detailed milestone-based plans once a tower's construction has progressed far enough to commit to specific completion percentages. That is consistent with both towers sharing a 2029 handover while differing in how finely their construction-stage payments are broken down.
