The Edit Meraas — Where Creativity Meets Capital.
The Edit Meraas is a luxury residential development by Meraas at Dubai Design District (d3), offering 557 residences across three architecturally distinct towers. The project defines a new standard for creative-quarter living in Dubai.
Each tower at The Edit at d3 carries a distinct identity: Tower A is anchored in social and cultural programming, Tower B in wellness and recovery, and Tower C in family and multigenerational living. This is not a uniform tower block — it is a curated urban neighbourhood.
Residences span 2-bedroom apartments starting from 1,266 sqft (AED 4,146,000) through to 5-bedroom penthouses at 9,399 sqft (AED 34,050,000). Every unit features open-plan interiors, generous balconies, and direct line-of-sight to Dubai Creek and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Edit Meraas is the first major residential launch within Dubai Design District — a creative ecosystem home to 800+ brands, studios, galleries, and fashion houses. Demand for residences in d3 has historically outpaced supply.
The 75/25 payment plan requires just 20% at booking, with the balance spread across construction milestones and 25% only on August 2030 handover. All units qualify for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa.
"d3 is not a location — it is a statement. The Edit is the address that defines it."

Not Another Dubai Tower. A Different Asset Class.
The Edit Meraas occupies a category of its own — government-backed developer, creative-district scarcity, and lifestyle-segmented towers in a market where comparable supply is near zero.
Creative District Calm. City Centre Access.
The Edit Meraas sits on the Dubai Creek waterfront within d3 — Dubai's designated hub for art, design, fashion, and media. The Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary lies directly opposite, offering an extraordinary natural backdrop uncommon in any global city.
Dubai International Airport is 12 minutes away. Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa are under 8 minutes by car. The d3 metro link and Dubai Creek Harbour are immediately walkable from The Edit.
"A creative city needs a creative address. The Edit is that address."

The Edit Meraas — The Data Behind the Decision.
Dubai's creative and professional workforce has grown by over 40% since 2021, yet d3's residential supply remains limited to fewer than 2,000 units pre-launch. The Edit Meraas enters as the district's defining residential asset — with scarcity as its structural advantage.
According to ValuStrat's Q4 2025 index, Creekside and Design District-adjacent properties recorded 18% capital appreciation year-on-year. d3 is classified as a growth corridor with near-zero vacancy in comparable stock.
Yield estimates based on ValuStrat d3-adjacent comparables, Q4 2025. DLD transaction data used for cross-reference. All figures indicative only.
Government-Backed Developer
Meraas is a subsidiary of Dubai Holding, ultimately owned by the Dubai Government. Unlike private developers, Meraas has never delivered a project late or below the promised specification — a track record unmatched in the market.
Structural Supply Scarcity
d3 has fewer than 2,000 residential units pre-The Edit. Creative-district addresses in world cities — Shoreditch, SoHo, Marais — consistently command premium valuations relative to surrounding areas. Dubai's d3 is structurally positioned the same way.
Premium Tenant Profile
d3's 800+ resident brands and studios generate a professional tenant base of designers, architects, fashion executives, and creative directors — tenants who pay premium rents and maintain long tenancies. This drives both yield and asset stability for The Edit Meraas investors.
10-Year Golden Visa
All units at The Edit Meraas exceed the AED 2M threshold for the UAE 10-year investor Golden Visa, providing buyers with long-term residency, family sponsorship, and business establishment rights. Visit icp.gov.ae for current eligibility criteria.
Designed for Confidence.
75% paid during construction. 25% only on August 2030 handover. The most investor-friendly structure in d3.
7 staged payments spread over 28 months — protecting your cash flow while your asset appreciates. Starts at just 20% on booking.
A fixed handover date with a single final payment. No surprises, no mid-construction demands. Meraas has never missed a handover.
Entry payment to reserve a 2-bedroom at The Edit Meraas — 20% of AED 4,146,000. DLD fees and AED 3,150 Oqood registration fee apply separately at booking.

Unlike private developer projects in nearby Business Bay or Creek Harbour, The Edit offers three distinctly themed towers — social, wellness, and family — within a single masterplan.
The combination of Meraas's delivery track record, d3's creative-district brand, and the Creek waterfront location creates a product with no direct comparable in the Dubai off-plan market currently.
Source: Market analysis · Urban Terrace Research · March 2026Based on d3-adjacent Creekside comparables, analysts project gross rental yields of 6–7% for 2-bedroom units at The Edit Meraas at current prices. ValuStrat Q4 2025 data shows Creekside communities averaged 6.2% gross yield, with limited supply supporting further rental growth through 2030.
The professional tenant base — designers, architects, media, and fashion executives working in d3's 800+ studios — pays premium rents and maintains longer tenancies than typical residential tenants, supporting yield stability.
