Description
RAW District Phase 2 is the next chapter of Imtiaz Developments’ landmark mixed-use district in Downtown Jebel Ali, rising directly opposite the original RAW District on Sheikh Zayed Road. Following strong demand for Phase 1, this release brings fully furnished studios and 1 to 3-bedroom apartments together with office spaces and retail units in a single urban ecosystem, connected by an 80,000 sq ft park and within walking distance of the Dubai Metro.
RAW District is deliberately different from a traditional residential project. The concept is built around raw material honesty, precision engineering, and shared lifestyle infrastructure with its own branded venues: RAW Theory (a bespoke gym and cycling studio), RAW Station (co-working), RAW Lab (podcast, media, and photography studios), The Studio (print and fabrication), The Gallery (an art collection), Distrikt Table (communal dining), and the 6AM Coffee Club. Every apartment arrives fully furnished with integrated smart-home technology, ready to live in or rent out from day one, in classic Imtiaz turnkey style.
The address ties the project to Dubai’s south-western growth corridor: Jebel Ali Metro Station within walking distance, and JAFZA, Expo City, Dubai South, Palm Jebel Ali, and Al Maktoum International Airport all nearby. Entry pricing from AED 666,000, EOIs from just AED 50,000, and a choice of two flexible payment plans, including a post-handover option, make Phase 2 one of the most accessible ways into an SZR-fronting, metro-connected mixed-use district.
Branded lifestyle venues, RAW Theory gym, RAW Station co-working, RAW Lab media studios, The Gallery, and communal dining, are woven through the district for work, creativity, and wellbeing.
Imtiaz’s signature: every residence fully furnished with contemporary interiors and smart-home systems, letting owners live in or lease immediately from handover.
Walking distance to Jebel Ali Metro Station on Sheikh Zayed Road, at the centre of the Expo City, Palm Jebel Ali, and Al Maktoum growth corridor.
Choose a 50/50 construction-linked plan or a 60/40 plan with instalments spread over three years after handover; EOIs start from AED 50,000.
Expected launch pricing at EOI stage; final prices confirmed at sales launch. DLD registration fee (4%) applies separately. Prices are indicative and subject to change at the developer’s discretion.
Phase 2 offers a choice of two interest-free structures. The 50/50 plan splits payments evenly: 50% in scheduled instalments through construction and 50% on handover in Q2 2029. The 60/40 post-handover plan shifts the balance: 60% through construction, then 40% spread over three years after keys are received, letting rental income contribute to the final instalments. EOIs from AED 50,000 secure priority allocation, and the exact schedule for your unit is confirmed at booking.
Downtown Jebel Ali is one of the Sheikh Zayed Road addresses most directly tied to Dubai’s south-western expansion. RAW District Phase 2 sits directly opposite the original RAW District, within walking distance of Jebel Ali Metro Station, and at the centre of the corridor connecting JAFZA, Expo City, Dubai South, Palm Jebel Ali, and Al Maktoum International Airport. As that infrastructure is delivered, indicative gross rental yields in the corridor have been reported around 7 to 9%, with tenant demand driven by JAFZA’s workforce and the area’s improving amenity base.
RAW District’s amenities are branded, purposeful venues designed around the daily rhythms of residents, from sunrise swims to late-night work sessions, all threaded together by the district’s 80,000 sq ft park.
RAW District’s defining move is treating amenities as named venues with real programming, a media lab, a fabrication studio, an art gallery, a cycling studio, communal dining, rather than a generic gym-and-pool checklist. For tenants in this segment it creates genuine daily value, and for owners it differentiates the asset in a crowded rental market. Phase 2 buyers plug into an ecosystem whose first phase is already establishing the district’s identity directly across the street.
Phase 2 combines an accessible entry, a rental-ready product, and a corridor with visible growth drivers. Fully furnished, smart-home units reach handover with zero fit-out cost and lease immediately, while walking-distance metro access anchors tenant demand from JAFZA’s workforce. Indicative gross yields in the corridor have been reported around 7 to 9%, and the surrounding infrastructure story, Expo City, Palm Jebel Ali, Al Maktoum International Airport, continues to compound. The choice of a 50/50 plan or a 60/40 post-handover plan with three years of instalments after keys, plus EOIs from AED 50,000, keeps the entry flexible for investors at different capital levels, all backed by Imtiaz’s proven turnkey delivery record.
Properties valued at AED 750,000 or more qualify buyers for the 2-year UAE residency visa, covering all 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments here (studio buyers may qualify by combining units). Purchases of AED 2 million or above, such as retail units or combined holdings, could qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa. Austrabay can advise on the pathway that fits your chosen unit.
Imtiaz Developments is one of Dubai’s fastest-rising developers, known for design-forward, fully furnished turnkey residences with branded interiors and smart-home technology as standard. Its portfolio spans Dubai Islands, Downtown Jebel Ali, and beyond, with each project built around a distinctive architectural signature.
RAW District is Imtiaz’s boldest concept to date: a mixed-use creative district rather than a standalone tower, with its own branded venues, serviced apartments, and an 80,000 sq ft park. Phase 2 extends the district directly across from Phase 1, deepening an ecosystem designed for how people live, work, and create today.
Phase 2 EOIs are open now and priority allocation goes to early registrants. Our team is available across Australian and UAE time zones to secure your position.
