DIFC Zabeel District Phase A - The Residences

About The Project

DIFC Zabeel District Phase A – The Residences introduces a refined way of living at the crossroads of finance, culture, and lifestyle, where everyday life unfolds within a carefully curated urban ecosystem. Rising as elegant twin towers within a master-planned district, the residences are imagined as more than homes—they are private sanctuaries set against the vibrant rhythm of DIFC. Landscaped promenades, sunken plazas, cultural pavilions, and heritage elements weave together to create an address where modern architecture, greenery, and city energy exist in perfect harmony.

Life here is shaped by choice and sophistication, with a premium collection of 1 to 4-bedroom apartments and exclusive duplex penthouses designed for diverse lifestyles. Spacious layouts, expansive terraces, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of Dubai’s iconic skyline, including the Burj Khalifa. From efficient one-bedroom residences starting at 846 sq. ft. to grand 3 and 4-bedroom duplex penthouses reaching up to 4,489 sq. ft., each home reflects an ideology of open living, discreet luxury, and timeless functionality tailored for professionals, families, and global investors alike.

The lifestyle extends seamlessly beyond the front door into a living district animated by boutique hotels, members’ clubs, art academies, restored historic stables, and vibrant retail boulevards. Residents imagine mornings along shaded walkways, afternoons surrounded by innovation hubs and Class A offices, and evenings defined by fine dining and cultural encounters—all within walking distance. With schools, universities, mosques, conference centers, and co-working campuses integrated into the master plan, daily life becomes fluid, social, and effortlessly connected.

Amenities at DIFC Zabeel District Phase A are envisioned as experiences rather than facilities, where wellness, leisure, and social interaction blend naturally into the environment. Green courtyards soften the urban scale, rooftop spaces invite moments of calm above the city, and thoughtfully designed communal areas encourage meaningful connections. Sustainability and wellness guide the planning, ensuring a balanced lifestyle that nurtures privacy and serenity without sacrificing accessibility or the pulse of city living.

As an investment and lifestyle proposition, The Residences present compelling value with starting prices from AED 2.9M, supported by an attractive 70/30 payment plan and a scheduled completion in Q4 2029. Set within a landmark DIFC master plan spanning 1.1 million sq. ft. and hosting residential, commercial, cultural, and hospitality components, this address promises long-term desirability, capital appreciation, and a future-ready way of life at the very heart of Dubai’s financial and cultural core.
