The Residences DIFC
The Residences is the first residential development in Phase A of the DIFC Zabeel District, unveiled in February 2026 by DIFC Developments beside the Gate District, Museum of the Future and Dubai World Trade Centre.
Launch prices have been quoted from about AED 2.6M, with some brokers citing AED 2.9M to 3.3M; the prevailing plan is 5% on booking, 65% during construction and 30% on handover.
Handover is scheduled for Q4 2029; DIFC has historically used milestone-based schedules rather than post-handover plans.
