Construction progress
According to our internal inspection conducted on 11 June 2026, the project’s progress stands at 32.30%. According to the Real Estate Regulatory Agency, the reported progress is 26.30%, based on its inspection conducted on 26 March 2026.

Design Quarter at d3 is a three-tower residential scheme by Meraas inside Dubai Design District, and the developer's page marks it sold out. The published launch price was AED 1.87 M, and the release ran from one- to three-bedroom apartments, with the developer's own listing also mentioning duplexes and penthouses and views towards Burj Khalifa. Since Meraas is no longer taking reservations, the only way in is a purchase from an existing owner, at a price that owner sets and subject to the developer issuing a no-objection certificate for the transfer. Wincasa Properties, an authorised sales partner for Meraas, works that resale market and reports what is actually trading rather than what was quoted at launch.
The building is still under construction, and Meraas publishes progress on its own page. Its most recent update has Tower A at Level 27, Tower B at Level 28 and Tower C at roof level, with blockwork, internal finishes and mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations advancing across several floors in all three towers, and façade and glazing work under way in Towers A and B. The developer expects structural works to finish across the towers over the following quarter while façade, lift installation and internal fit-out continue. For a resale buyer that matters twice over: it fixes how much of the payment plan is likely to have fallen due, and it makes the building inspectable from the road.
Meraas built the scheme around the district rather than around a gated podium. Residents are given canal-side walks, shaded jogging routes and the Golden Gardens, and the amenity list runs to a pool, a gym, sports fields, a children's playland, day-care centres, bright lobbies and round-the-clock security, with the Dubai Water Canal named as part of the setting. Dubai Design District itself is a working quarter for design, art and fashion businesses whose calendar carries Sole DXB alongside Dubai Fashion Week and Dubai Design Week, so the streets outside have a working population by day and an event crowd through the season.
For an owner the letting case rests on that working district and on how central the address is: the developer lists Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina at ten minutes by car and Business Bay, DIFC, City Walk and Nad Al Sheba at fifteen. One- and two-bedroom homes on those numbers are the easiest stock to place with tenants, while three-bedroom layouts and the duplexes attract families who want to stay near the creative businesses rather than commute to them. Buyers should treat drive times as the developer's estimates rather than guarantees, and should price a unit on its floor, its aspect and its remaining payment position instead of on the launch figure.
d3 is the waterside district Dubai built for design, art and fashion, and Meraas is now adding homes to it. Design Quarter and Atélis are sold out; The Edit at d3 still carries a developer price.

This is a resale purchase in a building that has not yet handed over, which is a specific kind of transaction rather than a normal second-hand sale. The seller holds an off-plan contract with Meraas; the buyer steps into it, takes on whatever instalments remain and needs the developer's no-objection certificate before the Dubai Land Department will record the change. Establish early how much of the payment plan the seller has paid, what the developer charges for the certificate, and whether the unit is registered in the seller's name. Where the seller has paid a large share of the price, the cash needed at signing is higher even if the headline price looks similar.
Use the construction position as a negotiating fact rather than a comfort. Meraas states that two towers are in the high twenties by floor level and the third has reached roof level, with fit-out and façade work following behind, which means a buyer can see the structure and ask specific questions: which tower the unit is in, which floor, what it faces, and how far the internal works on that floor have progressed. No handover date is printed on the project page, so any completion year a seller quotes should be confirmed by the developer in writing before it goes into the contract or into a rental forecast.
As a place to own, Design Quarter suits a buyer who wants to be inside d3 rather than beside it, and who values the canal, the gardens and the day-care and family provision over a beachfront address. The comparison inside the district is straightforward: Atélis at d3 is also sold out, and The Edit at d3 is the one building Meraas still lists with properties available, so a buyer choosing between a resale here and a new reservation there is really choosing between a nearer handover and a free choice of unit. Wincasa can put both options side by side with the current asking prices in writing.
