RAW District 2 by Imtiaz Developments

RAW District 2 is a mixed-use development by Imtiaz Developments in Downtown Jebel Ali, on Sheikh Zayed Road. It combines fully furnished apartments in a residential tower, offices in a second tower, and retail and F&B units on the ground floor of a shared podium, with creative, work and leisure amenities spread across the building. It is the second RAW District in the community, a short walk from the first.

RAW District 2 is in Downtown Jebel Ali on Sheikh Zayed Road, fronted by the 80,000 sq ft Flame Tree Park, with a Dubai Metro station on the far side of the park. Approximate drive times are 10 minutes to Palm Jebel Ali and Expo City, 15 minutes to Dubai Marina, 20 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 25 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, 30 minutes to Dubai International Airport and 50 minutes to Abu Dhabi.

The project offers fully furnished studios and 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in the residential tower, office spaces in the office tower, and retail and F&B units at podium level. RAW District 2 has 770 units in total across residences, offices and retail.

Starting prices are AED 666K ≈ USD 181K for Studio Apartments (≈ 380 sq ft), AED 949K ≈ USD 258K for 1 Bedroom Apartments (≈ 620 sq ft), AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K for 2 Bedroom Apartments (≈ 1,054 sq ft), AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K for 3 Bedroom Apartments (≈ 1,400 sq ft), AED 1.40M ≈ USD 381K for Office Spaces (≈ 700 sq ft) and AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K for Retail Spaces (≈ 1,000 sq ft). These are starting prices and starting sizes for each type.

Two plans are published. The 50/50 plan takes 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee and an admin fee on booking, six instalments of 5% between 15 November 2026 and 1 October 2028, and 50% on completion in Q2 2029. The 60/40 post-handover plan takes the same 20% booking payment, 35% in instalments between 15 November 2026 and 15 May 2028, 5% on completion in Q2 2029, and 40% over 3 years after handover at 3.3% quarterly. Instalment dates are as published by the developer and subject to the SPA.

Handover of RAW District 2 is scheduled for Q2 2029, which is also when the on-completion payment falls due under both payment plans. Works had not started at the time of the latest DLD register record, and progress against RERA inspection data is tracked in the RAW District 2 construction updates guide.

Yes. The developer describes the residences as fully furnished, with open kitchens, integrated appliances, smart storage, layered lighting and acoustic detailing. For an investor this means the unit can be let from handover without a separate furnishing budget.

Shared facilities include a creative floor with The Design Lab, The Studio, The Forum, The Stage and The Shuffle, co-working spaces and meeting rooms, the Raw Theory 2,000 sq ft indoor gym with an outdoor sand training zone, the Distrikt Table communal dining table, The Readers' Club library, adult and kids swimming pools, cold plunges, a yoga and observation deck, zero gravity nap pods and indoor and outdoor cinema. The 80,000 sq ft Flame Tree Park in front of the building serves as an extended amenity.

Only the Retail Spaces tier, from AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K, is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa. Studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and Office Spaces start below that threshold. Retail units are commercial property, and the eligibility of any unit type is assessed by the authorities under the conditions in force at the time of application, so a purchase price alone does not confirm a visa. The RAW District 2 Golden Visa guide covers the threshold in detail.

Yes, RAW District 2 by Imtiaz is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing and DLD registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the process end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Off plan payments for RAW District 2 are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The account and how to verify it are covered in the RAW District 2 escrow account guide.
