Design Quarter at d3 by Meraas is a landmark residential development in the heart of Dubai Design District, offering the first opportunity to own a home within one of the world’s most celebrated creative communities. Featuring a curated collection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom duplexes, and exclusive penthouses, Design Quarter brings together the energy of a creative hub with the comfort and sophistication of modern urban living.
Dubai Design District, known simply as d3, has established itself as the Middle East’s foremost destination for design, fashion, art, and innovation. Home to the offices and studios of leading international and regional creative brands, galleries, and cultural institutions, d3 pulses with a creative energy that transforms the daily experience of living here into something genuinely inspiring. Design Quarter is the first residential offering to bring this energy directly into the homes of its residents, creating a unique proposition where culture, creativity, and community converge.
The apartments at Design Quarter are characterised by light, bright, modern spaces with generous proportions and inspiring views. Select residences offer uninterrupted vistas of the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and the Dubai Water Canal, while all units benefit from contemporary open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, and premium finishes that reflect the design-forward ethos of the surrounding community. Three-bedroom duplex units add a further dimension of space and privacy, with living areas on the lower level and bedrooms above, connected by elegant internal staircases.
The location is exceptionally well-connected. Design Quarter sits just ten minutes from Downtown Dubai, fifteen minutes from Business Bay and DIFC, and fifteen minutes from Dubai International Airport. The surrounding neighbourhood is a vibrant tapestry of cosy cafes, inspirational art galleries, fashion showrooms, and dining destinations that cater to the creative professional’s lifestyle. Golden Gardens, tennis courts, sports fields, and jogging paths provide abundant green space within easy reach.
Exclusive amenities include a swimming pool, state-of-the-art gymnasium, children’s playland, and a curated list of dining venues, all designed to complement the creative, progressive, and imaginative spirit of d3. The development’s community spaces encourage the kind of organic interaction and collaboration that defines the district’s character — a place where industry experts and local entrepreneurs connect, create, and build meaningful relationships.
