The project
About d3 Waterfront Neighbourhood
In January 2026 Meraas unveiled a broader residential vision for Dubai Design District, extending the creative quarter into a waterfront neighbourhood of around 18 million sq ft along Dubai Creek.
The plan weaves homes together with cultural venues, retail and hospitality, structured across five areas that each carry their own identity. It builds on the strong reception of Atelis and The Edit, the district's first residential releases.
Individual buildings, unit mixes and release dates have not yet been announced, so this entry tracks the masterplan ahead of specific launches.
