Design Quarter at d3: the lowest price, already sold out

Design Quarter at d3 was Meraas's first residential community inside the Design District, comprising 558 one-to-three-bedroom apartments across one low-rise and two tower buildings on a shared landscaped podium. The project is under construction, with a mid-2027 completion announced by Meraas, and is currently sold out according to the developer's own listing. A shared podium links the three buildings into a social hub, with co-working space, an indoor-outdoor gym, pools, barbecue areas and children's play zones.

The Edit at d3: three towers on the Dubai Canal waterfront edge

The Edit at d3 introduces three sculptural towers along the Dubai Canal edge of the Design District, part of Meraas's residential expansion of d3 beyond its original office and retail footprint. The 557 homes span one to four bedroom apartments and five-bedroom penthouses, with soft-edged balconies and sky gardens running up the facades. Amenities include resort-style pools, a padel court, a cinema room, co-working space and dedicated kids and teenager's clubs.

Artistry One Residences: the only one with a confirmed payment plan

Artistry One Residences is Select Group's first tower in the Design District, a 36-storey building designed by Woods Bagot that overlooks the Dubai Canal and the Downtown skyline. The 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, ice baths and a dedicated fitness studio. Select Group confirms a 2029 handover and a 50:50 payment split between the construction period and completion.

What buying a sold-out project like Design Quarter means

A sold-out listing from the developer doesn't mean the project is unavailable: it means new reservations from Meraas directly are no longer possible, and current availability moves to the resale market among existing buyers. Your adviser can check whether resale units are currently listed at Design Quarter at d3.

Why Artistry One costs more than the other two

Artistry One Residences' higher starting price reflects both its architecture, designed by Woods Bagot, and its wellness-focused amenity level, including thermal spa facilities and ice baths not matched by the other two projects' published amenity lists.

How the three projects sit within the wider d3 masterplan

Design Quarter at d3 was Meraas's first residential community built inside the Design District, which explains why it carries the lowest price among the three: it launched earlier, before the area's residential profile was fully established. The Edit at d3 and Artistry One Residences both arrived as d3 matured into a more established waterfront address, with canal frontage and taller towers pushing both unit scale and price upward compared with that first release.

What buyers usually weigh beyond the headline price

Beyond the starting figure, a buyer choosing among these three towers typically compares wellness amenities (Artistry One's thermal spa and ice baths), family-oriented extras (The Edit's dedicated kids and teenager's clubs), and the practical question of whether new reservations are even possible, since Design Quarter at d3 is no longer sold directly by the developer.

Financing a purchase at d3

Bank financing remains possible for some non-resident buyers across all three projects, always subject to the lender's approval. No rate or loan-to-value ratio is confirmed here.
