Meraas' residential offering in Dubai Design District — the UAE's premier creative, fashion, and design hub. Luxury apartments from AED 2M in Dubai's most curated address: d3 houses the world's leading fashion houses, architectural studios, creative agencies, and luxury galleries in a single waterfront campus. The Edit brings residential living to the heart of this creative district — a unique Dubai address with no equivalent.
The Edit is Meraas' residential project in Dubai Design District (d3) — a mixed-use creative campus on the Dubai Creek waterfront that houses fashion houses, architectural studios, luxury galleries, creative agencies, and some of Dubai's best restaurants. Living in d3 means waking up in a district that is actively curated for creativity and craft rather than commerce.
Developed by Meraas — the government-linked developer behind City Walk, La Mer, Boxpark, and Bluewaters Island — The Edit carries the development and management quality that Meraas consistently delivers across their portfolio. d3 itself is a Meraas-developed and managed free zone, meaning the overall district quality is controlled by the same developer building The Edit.
The Edit offers something genuinely unique in Dubai residential: a luxury apartment in the city's most curated creative address, with fashion houses, luxury galleries, and premium dining on your doorstep, and Dubai Creek waterfront views. This product type has no direct comparable elsewhere in Dubai.

d3 is on the Dubai Creek waterfront, adjacent to Al Jaddaf — a 10-minute drive from Downtown Dubai, 10 minutes from DIFC, and 15 minutes from DXB Airport. The creek waterfront position gives d3 units genuine water views — Dubai Creek and the Al Jaddaf skyline — without the Downtown pricing premium.
Dubai Design District is a business and creative free zone with very limited residential supply. The Edit is one of the only residential projects ever released in d3. This terminal scarcity creates the same structural investment premium that has driven prices in other Dubai areas with limited residential supply.
City Walk residential (Meraas), La Mer residences (Meraas), Bluewaters Island (Meraas) — all Meraas lifestyle districts have consistently appreciated above Dubai market averages. The Edit in d3 is the next Meraas lifestyle district residential product — entering the same appreciation pattern from the start.
d3's creative industry workforce — fashion professionals, architects, gallery managers, agency creative directors — are premium tenants who renew consistently and pay above-market rents for the lifestyle privilege of living adjacent to their work in d3. The Edit's rental demand base is institutionally specific and stable.
