The Edit at d3 by Meraas

The Edit at d3 is an off plan residential project by Meraas in Dubai Design District (d3), made up of three waterfront towers with 557 residences in total. The mix covers 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments and 5 bedroom penthouses, with sky gardens on intermediate floors and a separate amenity focus in each tower.

The Edit at d3 is in Dubai Design District, on the waterfront facing the Dubai Canal. By car it is about 6 minutes from The Dubai Mall, 7 minutes from Downtown Dubai and City Walk, 10 minutes from Burj Khalifa and Business Bay, 12 minutes from DIFC and 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport.

The project offers 1 bedroom apartments of approximately 755 to 940 sq ft (70 to 87 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of 1,266 to 1,436 sq ft (118 to 133 sq m), 3 bedroom + maid apartments of 2,123 to 2,697 sq ft (197 to 251 sq m), 4 bedroom + maid apartments of 2,771 to 2,975 sq ft (257 to 276 sq m) and 5 bedroom penthouses of 9,399 to 13,026 sq ft (873 to 1,210 sq m).

Prices start from AED 2.00M ≈ USD 545K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M, 3 bedroom + maid apartments from AED 7.70M ≈ USD 2.10M, 4 bedroom + maid apartments from AED 10.70M ≈ USD 2.91M and 5 bedroom penthouses from AED 34.10M ≈ USD 9.29M. Final prices vary with tower, floor and view.

The developer's launch payment plan is 75/25: 20% on booking, six instalments during construction (10% in June 2026, 5% in October 2026, 10% in March 2027, 10% in August 2027, 10% in January 2028 and 10% in May 2028) and 25% on handover. A 4% DLD registration fee is paid at booking. Because the June 2026 instalment date has passed, the schedule that applies to a new booking is confirmed by Meraas at reservation.

Handover is anticipated in June 2030. The project is at an early construction stage, with enabling works recorded on site at the most recent RERA inspection on record, and the DLD project register carries an earlier registered completion date than this anticipated handover. Inspection records and milestones are tracked in The Edit at d3 construction updates guide.

Yes. All five unit types are priced at or above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa. The 1 bedroom apartments start exactly at AED 2.00M, so the price actually paid must not fall below AED 2M for that tier to qualify. The Edit at d3 Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

Yes. The Edit at d3 is a freehold project, open to buyers of all nationalities.

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

All off plan payments go to the project's DLD-registered escrow account at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank and are released to the developer against construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. How the account works for this project is explained in The Edit at d3 escrow account guide.

It depends on the holding horizon. The case rests on a central canal-front address in d3, entry from AED 2.00M and a 75/25 plan that defers a quarter of the price to handover. The trade-offs are a handover anticipated in June 2030, a 557-unit supply that will compete for tenants and resale buyers at completion, and pricing that rises steeply with unit size. Compact 1 and 2 bedroom layouts usually suit rental strategies, while 3 and 4 bedroom maid layouts lean toward end users.
