About This Project
Three towers on the canal, in the district Dubai built for design. Meraas calls them a dynamic triad, and they rise in a choreographed rhythm across the skyline.
Soft edges and filleted corners run the façades, and continuous balcony lines wrap them. Sky gardens carve recesses into the vertical structure, so the light and the greenery read from the outside as well as the inside.
Each tower has a character
Tower A is the social one: a co-working and gallery space, a social club with an arcade, a lounge and a library, and a cinema room. Tower B is the wellness one, with the gym and the yoga studio at its base and a wellness club above. Tower C is the family one, with family lounges, a kids' club and a play area. All three connect, so you live in one and use all three.
The sky gardens
Ten of them, cut into the towers at height — gathering spaces, wellness terraces and outdoor reading rooms, planted and paved, with the ground-floor design language carried up the building. Tower B's twenty-ninth floor holds an outdoor events space, and Tower C's twenty-sixth a wellness terrace.
On the ground
A padel court. A resort-style family pool, a lap pool and a kids' pool. A children's outdoor play area, a barbecue area with California Rooms, social seating and cabanas, and access straight onto the promenade. Grand double-height lobbies open each tower.
Inside, open-plan interiors run to panoramic windows that frame the water and the skyline. Timber-look joinery, recon stone on the kitchen countertops, a kitchen island, and fluted joinery on the vanities. The master bathroom carries a feature shower wall and a niche.
Two, three and four bedroom homes and one penthouse are available now, on a 75/25 plan with twenty per cent on booking. Registration is 4% of the price plus an AED 3,150 Oqood fee, and ownership is freehold to all nationalities. We sell them at zero commission.
The penthouses
Three of them, one at the top of each tower. Double-height living and dining under a sculptural staircase, floor-to-ceiling windows over the water, and a private terrace with a pool on it.
The district it sits in
Dubai Design District is open and working, and Meraas is extending it around these towers. Our guide to the d3 masterplan sets out all five areas.
Our Honest Take
This is how we read The Edit at d3 for our own clients — including who should walk away.
Our view is that the address is the product here. Dubai Design District carries one of the widest canal frontages in the city, the water in front of these towers is open, and the district around them is already trading.
Atélis at d3 was the previous release on the same waterfront, from the same developer, and it sold out. The Edit prices alongside it, ticket for ticket, at every bedroom count. Same water, same district, same company, and the demand for the address is already proven.
Central waterfront rents in the districts either side of d3 have compounded above fourteen per cent a year for five years, and both now sit ahead of the citywide average. d3 is the canal frontage between them.
Buy here if you want the canal and you want it open. These towers sit on the promenade with the water in front of them, and Downtown is seven minutes.
Buy here if you will use the amenity floors. Three towers of them, connected, and ten sky gardens above.
Buy here if you want a maid's room as standard. Every three and four bedroom plan carries one.
Buy here if you want the district as well as the home. The offices below run at ninety-nine per cent occupancy, and the events that fill them are Dubai Design Week and Dubai Fashion Week.
These are apartments in a design district, and the pull is the water, the towers and what sits under them. A buyer who wants a garden, a plot and a street of houses wants a different kind of home, and there are communities built for that.
Off-plan lending caps at 50% of the price across the UAE, so the payment plan carries most of this purchase.
Why this project
The Edit at d3 Location
The Edit sits on the Dubai Canal promenade inside Dubai Design District, between Downtown, DIFC and Dubai Creek. Al Khail Road, Al Ain Road and the E311 all connect to it.
The canal frontage here is one of the widest in Dubai, and the water in front of the towers is open, so the view runs to the skyline and the Burj Khalifa rather than into another building.
The district itself is the other half of the address. Every one of d3's five areas is set out in our guide to the masterplan.

About MERAAS

The district below the towers is already working. More than twenty thousand creative professionals come to it, another 600,000 square feet of workspace is under way across six new buildings, and Dubai Design Week and Dubai Fashion Week are both held here. All five areas are set out in our guide to the d3 masterplan.
