Raw District
Dubai — Life
in Display

Raw District Dubai is a large-scale mixed-use urban lifestyle district developed by Imtiaz Developments on Sheikh Zayed Road, Downtown Jebel Ali. It combines fully furnished residences, leased offices, co-working floors, an art gallery, pro gym, café, podcast studios, a 3D design lab, serviced apartments and curated retail under one brand.

The project is positioned at the convergence of Dubai Marina (15 min), Expo City (10 min), Palm Jebel Ali (10 min) and Al Maktoum International Airport (25 min). Handover is targeted for Q1 2029, with a pedestrian bridge providing direct metro access. For full details, visit imtiaz.ae or RERA Dubai.

Raw District Dubai prices start from AED 649,000 for a studio apartment of 380 sq.ft, rising to AED 889,000 for a 1-Bed Suite (610 sq.ft), AED 1.0M for a 1-Bedroom (720 sq.ft), AED 1.4M for a 2-Bedroom (1,054 sq.ft) and AED 1.9M for a 3-Bedroom (1,400 sq.ft).

Commercial units include office space from AED 1.2M (700 sq.ft) and retail space from AED 2.5M (1,000 sq.ft). All residential units are delivered fully furnished. The 4% DLD registration fee and admin fee are payable at booking, in addition to the 20% initial payment.

Raw District offers two payment structures. The standard plan distributes 50% across construction installments (six tranches of 5% from October 2026 through September 2028) and 50% on completion at Q1 2029. The post-handover plan pays 60% before and on completion, then spreads the remaining 40% quarterly over 3 years post-handover at approximately 3.3% per quarter.

The post-handover option is particularly suited to buy-to-let investors who plan to offset remaining payments against rental income generated by the unit from Q1 2029. Contact Urban Terrace at +971 4 570 5358 or WhatsApp for a personalised payment schedule.

Urban Terrace Research projects 6–8% gross yields for Raw District Dubai, based on mixed-use asset comparables in sheikh zayed road corridor and RERA-registered transaction data for Q4 2025. Mixed-use projects with diversified footfall — residents, co-working, F&B, retail — historically sustain higher occupancy than single-use residential towers.

The fully furnished delivery removes fit-out cost and allows immediate tenanting at handover. RAW Stay, Imtiaz's in-house serviced apartment operator, provides an optional short-let management service for investor units. All yield projections are estimates only and not guaranteed — refer to RERA for registered market data.

Yes. Investors purchasing a 1-Bedroom (AED 1.0M), 2-Bedroom (AED 1.4M) or 3-Bedroom (AED 1.9M) unit at Raw District Dubai become eligible for the UAE 5-year investor Golden Visa once the required AED 750,000 payment milestone is reached. The retail space at AED 2.5M qualifies investors for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa.

Golden Visa eligibility is subject to UAE ICP guidelines effective 2022 and requires DLD-registered property ownership at the qualifying payment threshold. Confirm current requirements directly with the UAE ICP or speak with our advisors at Urban Terrace.

Yes. Raw District Dubai is 100% freehold, open to all nationalities under Dubai Land Department (DLD) registration. Buyers from any country can purchase, own, rent and resell their unit with full title deed rights — this applies to all unit types including studios, apartments, offices and retail spaces.

Downtown Jebel Ali is a designated freehold zone under Dubai Law No. 7 of 2006. For verification, all projects registered with the Dubai Land Department can be confirmed on the DLD official portal.

Imtiaz Developments was founded in 1993 and operates a fully vertically integrated model spanning design, construction, joinery, aluminium, glass, property management and after-sales. This eliminates the third-party delivery risk that has caused delays with other Dubai developers. Imtiaz has a zero-abandoned-project record across 30+ years and AED 10 billion in portfolio value.

In 2025, Imtiaz became the first developer to deliver on Dubai Islands with Beach Walk by Imtiaz — 3–4 months ahead of schedule. All buyer funds are held in a RERA-regulated escrow account under Dubai law. Imtiaz is registered with the Dubai Land Department as Developer № 1129. You can verify the project directly on the RERA portal.

Raw District Dubai includes over 10 purpose-built branded spaces: RAW Pro Gym, 6AM Coffee Club, The Studio (podcast, media, photography), The Design Lab (3D print + creative), The Gallery (Masih Imtiaz Art Collection), Inner Circle (sunken seating), RAW Stay (serviced apartments by Imtiaz), Distrikt Table (communal dining with delis), RAW Stations (co-working floor) and The Vault (logistics hub for residents).

Additional facilities include zero-gravity nap pods, indoor and outdoor cinema, adult and kids swimming pools, cold plunges, yoga deck, observation deck, outdoor body-weight gym and a reading room library. Unlike standard amenity lists, every space at Raw District is designed for active daily use — not passive display.
