Dubai Design District, one of the region’s most established creative and commercial hubs, is set to expand into a fully integrated residential neighbourhood following the announcement of an expanded masterplan by Meraas.
The 18 million square foot mixed-use development is located between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Creek and introduces new residential neighbourhoods alongside canal-front living, cultural venues, public green spaces and pedestrian-first streets. The masterplan is designed to support long-term residency, walkability and a
live-work environment within an existing creative district.
The announcement comes as Dubai continues to attract increased local and international interest in residential property, driven by economic growth, population inflows and infrastructure investment aligned with the
Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
Recent residential launches within Dubai Design District indicate growing demand for housing in the area. These include Atelis, a 280-unit waterfront residential tower developed by Meraas, which sold out following its launch, and The Edit, a three-tower residential development offering 557 design-led homes.

Expanded development
introduces waterfront housing,
walkable infrastructure and mixed-use neighbourhoods in central Dubai.
A key component of the masterplan is the Design Line, a fully shaded, pedestrian-first spine that connects the district end-to-end. The Design Line integrates public art, landscaped green corridors and community spaces to support walkability and reduce reliance on vehicle movement within
the district.
The development is targeting LEED Silver community certification, with sustainability measures including energy-efficient building design, sustainable mobility infrastructure, enhanced connectivity and integration with surrounding natural assets. Visual and spatial links to Dubai Creek and the
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary form part of the wider planning approach.
With residential development now integrated into Dubai Design District’s existing commercial and cultural ecosystem, the masterplan positions the area as a long-term residential and investment destination within one of
the city’s most central locations.
This development strengthens Dubai Design District’s position as a global benchmark for design-focused urban living and reaffirms Dubai’s status as
a destination of choice for long-term investment, talent and innovation

With the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, the city aims to double its economy and solidify its position as a top three global city for design, innovation and culture. As a result of the projects involved, the city has seen an increase in both local and international buyers looking to purchase property. Examples include Atelis, a 280-unit waterfront tower owned by Meraas, which sold out quickly, and a successful launch of The Edit, a three-tower development offering 557 design-led homes.
Meraas, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, recently announced its expanded residential masterplan for Dubai Design District (D3), an 18 million sq ft mixed-use development located between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Creek. The innovative development offers a community in which to live and work with canal-front living, cultural quarters, public green spaces and walkable urban streets.
“Expanding the Dubai Design District masterplan into a fully integrated creative neighbourhood is a significant step in advancing the ambitions of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33,” says Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate.
With its expanded vision, new residential offering and distinctive creative identity, the enhanced D3 masterplan establishes the district as a destination for the world’s creative community. The updated masterplan includes the following distinct areas to provide the residential, cultural, retail and hospitality foundation for Dubai’s growth:
