3 bedrooms, larger layout — 2,730 sq ft, from AED 7,053,000 (about AED 2,585 per sq ft)
DLD figures were read from the Project Status Enquiry service on 25 September 2026; prices and sizes are from the current feed and change. Platinum Square confirms both in writing before you reserve. Rates per sq ft are our own arithmetic.
Look at the two layouts on our list together. The 2,019 sq ft home works out at about AED 3,275 per sq ft. The 2,730 sq ft home — 35% more space — works out at about AED 2,585 per sq ft, roughly a fifth less per foot, for AED 439,000 more in total.
That is a large gap for two units in the same building, and it usually reflects floor level, aspect or view rather than value. Ask which floors and which orientations those two prices refer to before you conclude anything: in a building sold partly on Burj Khalifa and Dubai Water Canal views, the view is most of the premium.
40/60 in the current feed — 40% across construction, 60% on completion. Ask for the dated instalment schedule on the reservation form; with completion registered for February 2027, most of that 40% is already behind the current buyer.
Completion is registered with the Dubai Land Department for 25 February 2027, and our feed carries Q1 2027. Those agree. The register also records 30.98% complete in September 2026, which is worth weighing against a date seventeen months away. A registered completion date is a date on the developer’s file, not proof of handover.
The feed lists a swimming pool, gym, kids’ play area, landscaped gardens and a yoga space. The wider argument for the building is the district rather than the podium — d3 is a working creative quarter with galleries, studios, restaurants and the venues for Dubai Design Week and Dubai Fashion Week, so a great deal of what residents use sits outside the development.
Dubai Design District, in Za’Abeel Second — between Business Bay and the Dubai Water Canal, next to Downtown. The feed cites views of the Burj Khalifa and the canal. This is one of the few genuinely mixed-use creative districts in the city, and residential stock inside it is limited, which is the structural argument for buying here. We do not publish drive times we have not measured; ask and we will send current routing.
Buyers who want a Downtown-adjacent address without a Downtown tower, and who value the district itself — people who work in design, media or fashion, and owners letting to that market. Eighty-eight three-bedroom homes out of 558 makes the larger units the scarcer product, and the ones we list are both three-bedroom.
It suits a pure yield buyer less well. At roughly AED 2,600–3,275 per sq ft this is priced as a premium address, and the return will come from the location holding its value rather than from a high rent multiple. We do not publish yield figures we cannot source, and we will not quote one here.
Ask which floor and which aspect each price refers to — see the section on the two layouts.
Confirm in writing whether the view the unit is priced for is protected by anything, or can be built out.
Get the 40/60 instalment dates, not just the split.
Ask for the escrow account for project 2607 and pay only into it.
Ask for the service charge estimate — d3 is a managed district and the rate matters at this price per foot.
Ask what handover date the sale and purchase agreement commits to, and the delay penalty.

The DLD registry records 262 one-bedroom and 208 two-bedroom homes in the development. What is released to us changes — ask for today’s list.
The project material cites views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Water Canal. Views depend entirely on the unit, so confirm the aspect and floor for the specific apartment.
It is a working creative and business district — design and fashion companies, galleries, restaurants, and the home of Dubai Design Week and Dubai Fashion Week. Residential stock inside it is limited, which is the main reason buyers look here.
