RAW District is a mixed-use residential and commercial community on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, by Imtiaz Developments, offering Studio, 1 BR Suite, 1 BR, 2 BR and 3 BR apartments alongside retail and office space. Imtiaz Developments was founded in 1993 and has delivered more than 2,000 units across a portfolio valued at AED 10 billion (developer source). The brand positions RAW District not as a finished product but as a continuously evolving environment, a thesis it summarises in four lines: We Are Never Finished, Culture Compounds, Let It Collide, and Long Live Real.
Residences at RAW District are delivered fully furnished. Studios start at 380 sq.ft from AED 649,000. 1 Bed Suites are 610 sq.ft from AED 889,000; 1 Bedroom apartments are 720 sq.ft from AED 1.0M; 2 Bedroom apartments are 1,054 sq.ft from AED 1.4M; 3 Bedroom apartments are 1,400 sq.ft from AED 1.9M (developer source). Every unit includes open kitchens with integrated appliances, smart storage, layered lighting, smart-home integration, and acoustic detailing. This level of specification is typically reserved for upgrade tiers.
RAW District treats its amenity programme as infrastructure for daily life, not a marketing checklist. Signature spaces include The Gallery, The Vault, RAW Pro Gym, RAW Stay, 6AM Coffee Club, The Design Lab, The Studio, Distrikt Table, Inner Circle, and RAW Stations. Wellness and recovery located on the same floor as work, covering cold plunges, yoga deck, outdoor gym, zero-gravity nap pods, an Indoor and outdoor cinema, and an observation deck. Two swimming pools (adult and kids) located alongside pool terraces.
RAW District located at the convergence of Dubai Marina (15 min), Expo City (10 min), Palm Jebel Ali (10 min), and Al Maktoum International Airport (25 min). The Sheikh Zayed Road corridor remains Dubai's principal real estate spine and is increasingly the working address for buyers priced out of Downtown and Marina at entry level. Studios from AED 649,000 give first-time buyers and yield-focused investors a Sheikh Zayed Road address below the typical area entry point. 3 BR units from AED 1.9 M located just under the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold, with buyers stacking two units or opting for upgraded layouts above AED 2M qualifying.

RAW District's amenity floor is structured around four resident modes: focus, recover, gather, and reset. The Vault, Design Lab, Studio, and co-working rooms cover focused work and podcast/creator output. RAW Pro Gym, outdoor gym, cold plunges, yoga deck, and zero-gravity nap pods cover daily recovery. Distrikt Table, Inner Circle, 6 AM Coffee Club, and The Gallery anchor the social side, set up for unplanned overlaps with neighbors and visiting members. Pool terraces and the observation deck close for the day.
RAW District sits on Sheikh Zayed Road, the spine that connects Dubai's mature western waterfront (Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah) with the emerging southern growth zone (Expo City, Palm Jebel Ali, Al Maktoum International Airport). For a resident, that means weekday work runs to Business Bay or DIFC, weekend beach access via the Marina exits, and direct routing to Al Maktoum for short-haul travel without the Dubai International (DXB) congestion most established Sheikh Zayed Road residences still depend on.

RAW District is located on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, at the convergence point of Dubai Marina, Expo City, Palm Jebel Ali, and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC).

RAW District offers studios (380 sq.ft), 1 Bed Suites (610 sq.ft), 1 Bedroom (720 sq.ft), 2 Bedroom (1,054 sq.ft), and 3 Bedroom (1,400 sq.ft) apartments. Commercial units include 700 sq.ft office layouts and 1,000 sq.ft retail layouts. All residences are delivered fully furnished with integrated appliances, smart storage, and smart-home integration.
Residential pricing at RAW District starts from AED 0.649 for a studio. 1 Bed Suites start from AED 0.889M, 1 Bedrooms from AED 1.0M, 2 Bedrooms from AED 1.4M, and 3 Bedrooms from AED 1.9M. Commercial space starts at AED 1.2M for a 700 sq.ft office and AED 2.5M for a 1,000 sq.ft retail unit.
RAW District by Imtiaz Developments features a convenient payment plan with 20% payable on booking to secure the property, 30% paid during the construction phase through scheduled installments, and the final 50% due upon completion and handover. This flexible structure helps buyers manage their investment while reducing upfront financial commitments.
Handover at RAW District is scheduled for Q1 2029.
Yes. Units priced at AED 2 million or above qualify for the UAE 10-Year Golden Visa under the standard real estate investor route. At RAW District, 3-Bedroom apartments start at AED 1.9M, just below the threshold; buyers stacking two units or selecting upgraded layouts above AED 2M qualify. Commercial inventory at AED 2.5M (retail) also clears the threshold.
Three project-specific reasons. First, the Sheikh Zayed Road address at AED 0.649 entry is materially below the typical Sheikh Zayed Road entry point. Second, dual-airport access (Al Maktoum at 25 min, DXB at 50 min) future-proofs the location as DWC scales. Third, Imtiaz Developments has delivered 2,000+ units across 40+ projects since 1993, an AED 10 billion portfolio that reduces off-plan execution risk to Q1 2029 handover.
