Urgent Sale | 1 BR Design Quarter Tower A

Overview of the deal

A seller who wants a quick exit is offering a one-bedroom apartment in Design Quarter Tower A, part of Design Quarter at D3 by Meraas in Dubai Design District. The asking price is AED 1,898,000, which is the same as the original price. This is not a discounted unit, and we do not present it as one.

What makes it worth a look is the payment position: only AED 730,000 is left, due on handover, and completion is listed for May 2027. In Dubai real estate, an urgent sale sometimes means speed rather than a lower price.

The unit

The key facts:

• Bedrooms: 1

• Size: 822 sq ft

• Floor: between the 5th and 8th floors

• View: pool and courtyard

• Outdoor space: balcony

• Expected completion: May 2027

At 822 sq ft, this is a 1 bedroom apartment Dubai professionals and couples can live in comfortably, with room for a proper living area next to the bedroom. We can share the floor plan on request.

The building and community

Design Quarter at D3 sits in Dubai Design District, the city's creative district. For buyers looking at Dubai Design District apartments, Tower A puts you inside that setting. Ask us for the developer's latest brochure for amenities and specification.

Meraas is the developer behind Bluewaters Island, City Walk, Jumeirah Bay Island, Pearl Jumeira, Port de La Mer, BVLGARI Residences and The Acres. Design Quarter adds a D3 address to the list of Meraas projects.

Price and payment position

The selling price is AED 1,898,000, equal to the original price, so there is no discount to report. On transfer, the buyer pays:

• Payment to the seller: AED 1,168,000

• DLD transfer fee (4% plus AED 40): AED 75,960

• Trustee office fee: AED 5,250

• Buyer's agency commission (2% plus VAT): AED 39,858

That comes to AED 1,289,068 on transfer, followed by a single AED 730,000 payment on handover, for a total cost of AED 2,019,068.

As a payment plan Dubai buyers can work with, it is about as simple as it gets, with no instalments in between.

Why this deal and for whom

The appeal is timing. The wait is short compared with buying at a new launch, and most of the price is settled at transfer. For Dubai property investment, that means a shorter path to a finished unit you can use or let. It suits:

• Buyers who want a one-bedroom home in D3 soon

• Investors who prefer a short construction wait

• Buyers who prefer one payment now and one at handover

Compared with other apartments for sale in Dubai at their original price, the case here is the date, not the discount.

What happens next

Urgent sales move faster than most properties for sale in Dubai, and the unit may be sold before this page is updated. The usual steps are:

• Contact Mahboob Estate to confirm availability and the current price

• Review the original sale agreement and the developer's statement of account

• Sign a sale agreement (MOU) with the seller

• Obtain the developer's no objection certificate for the transfer

• Complete the transfer at a trustee office and pay the fees listed above

As a real estate agency Dubai buyers can reach directly, we check the payment status and paperwork with you before money changes hands.

FAQ

Is this unit priced below the original price?
