Overview

About The Edit at d3

d3 has operated as a commercial and creative district since 2015. The Edit introduces residential stock into it, with one to four bedroom apartments and penthouses on a waterfront plot.

The case is simple: an established working district with existing footfall, restaurants and offices, now adding homes — the reverse of the usual Dubai sequence.

Investment

The investment perspective

Considerations we would weigh, not forecasts. We do not publish yield, capital growth or resale projections.

Positioning: Homes added to a working district, rather than a district built around homes.

Tenant Demand: Existing d3 employment base sits on the doorstep.

Entry Price: From AED 2M for central waterfront — competitive for the location.

Compare With: Business Bay canal-front towers and Downtown apartment stock.

Long-term residency

Properties meeting the applicable UAE investment threshold may support eligibility for long-term residency, subject to current government rules and individual circumstances.
