RAW DISTRICT by Imtiaz – A Mixed-Use Landmark on Sheikh Zayed Road
A mixed-use district on Sheikh Zayed Road at downtown Jebel Ali, blending fully-furnished homes, flexible offices and a curated retail podium, with floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive balconies and a co-working hub. The launch sold out on day one in June 2026, AED 2 billion in a single release — the way in now is resale and assignment. Launch prices started at AED 649,000 for a studio, handover Q1 2029.
RAW DISTRICT by Imtiaz
A creative, community-led mixed-use district on Sheikh Zayed Road at downtown Jebel Ali — fully-furnished studios to 3-bedroom homes, flexible offices and a co-working hub, and a curated retail podium, all wrapped in raw-material honesty and precision design, Metro-connected and minutes from Expo City and Dubai Marina. The launch sold out in a day, so every purchase here is now a resale or an assignment.
Imtiaz Developments
Imtiaz Developments is a premium, design-led Dubai developer founded in 1993, with 40+ developments and an AED 10 billion portfolio across Jumeirah Garden City, Dubai Islands, Dubailand, JVC and Al Furjan — built on a reputation for on-time delivery and concept-driven architecture. What began in 1993 as a construction endeavour has grown into one of the UAE's most respected developers, working to the philosophy of "A Journey to Perfection." Imtiaz pairs purposeful, concept-driven design with disciplined, in-time delivery — its track record includes Hyde Walk in Jumeirah Garden City, Beach Walk on Dubai Islands, the Westwood Grande, Pearl House, Cove and Sunset Bay series, and Luxor.
RAW DISTRICT is Imtiaz's statement project on Sheikh Zayed Road at downtown Jebel Ali — a single mixed-use landmark combining fully-furnished residences, flexible offices, a managed co-working hub and a curated retail podium. The concept centres on raw-material honesty and precision engineering, with The Design Lab, The Studio podcast rooms, wellness spaces and regular pop-ups and events knitting the community together. The market answered in a single day: the whole launch, some AED 2 billion, sold out on release in June 2026, so units now change hands by resale and assignment. Construction runs on the original 50/50 schedule (or the 60/40 post-handover plan offered at launch), with completion targeted for Q1 2029.
The Archive takes the same flexible payment terms inland to Dubai Land Residence Complex, built around a two-storey, 10,000-book library.
RAW DISTRICT – on Sheikh Zayed Road at downtown Jebel Ali, Metro-connected and minutes from Expo City and Dubai Marina

The address pairs prime connectivity with a self-contained district of homes, offices and retail, freehold and open to all nationalities.

A 50/50 plan — 50% before completion, 50% on handover.
The launch allocation is gone — it sold out on the day of release in June 2026 — so this is the schedule a resale or assignment buyer steps into. The plan published at launch runs 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 5% instalments every three months to 01/09/2028, and 50% on completion; a 60/40 post-handover version over three years was offered alongside it. What a unit costs today is set by the seller — ask us for the instalments still outstanding on it and Imtiaz's transfer terms before you commit. Handover Q1 2029.
Why RAW DISTRICT is a Smart Property Investment
For Rent
A fully-furnished, mixed-use landmark directly on Sheikh Zayed Road — with offices, a co-working hub and retail built in — targets strong tenant demand from professionals and businesses, while a low studio entry point keeps yields attractive.
For Resale
A launch that cleared roughly AED 2 billion in one day is the clearest demand signal an off-plan address can give, and with the developer sold out every buyer from here on is a resale buyer. A Metro-connected mixed-use landmark with scarce SZR frontage supports long-term capital appreciation.
For Your Company
A business can take a private cabin, an open desk bank or a whole suite in one building and move between them as it grows — with meeting rooms, RAW Stations, The Studio podcast rooms and a retail podium of cafés and dining under the same roof.
