RAW District by Imtiaz on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai

Studio to 3 BR: Built-Up Sizes, Spec, and What Each Layout Actually Delivers

Residences are delivered fully furnished and run from Studio (380 sq.ft built-up) to 3 BR (1,400 sq.ft built-up). 1 BR Suites are 610 sq.ft, 1 BRs are 720 sq.ft, and 2 BRs are 1,054 sq.ft. Every layout includes open kitchens with integrated appliances, smart storage, layered lighting, smart-home integration, and acoustic detailing. Commercial floors offer 700 sq.ft office layouts and 1,000 sq.ft retail layouts. The brief is functional rather than ornamental: open layouts, contained spec, and finishes selected for day-one use. Buyers do not need to budget for furnishing, white-goods, or smart-home retrofit after handover.

The Amenity Floor: Work, Recover, Gather, Reset

Amenities at RAW District are organised around four resident modes. Work and creator-output spaces include The Vault, Design Lab, The Studio, podcast studios, co-working rooms, and a reading room. Wellness and recovery covers RAW Pro Gym, outdoor gym, cold plunges, yoga deck, and zero-gravity nap pods. Gathering spaces include The Gallery, 6AM Coffee Club, Distrikt Table, and Inner Circle. The reset layer runs through adult and kids swimming pools, pool terraces, indoor and outdoor cinema, and a rooftop observation deck. Branded amenity spaces (RAW Stay, RAW Stations) anchor the project's lifestyle identity.

The Investment Case for Indian Buyers: AED 649K Entry, ₹1.70 Cr, Freehold, and the Golden Visa Math

At AED 649,000 ( ₹1.70 Cr at AED 1 = ₹26.14, 22 May 2026), a Studio entry at RAW District works out to about ₹4.47 lakh per sq.ft built-up. For NRI buyers, the entry sits comfortably within a single financial-year LRS allowance (US $250,000 per PAN per year), removing the multi-year remittance planning that larger AED purchases require. The development is freehold and open to all nationalities (multi-source verified). On Golden Visa qualification, the 3 BR at AED 1.9M sits just under the AED 2M property threshold; buyers stacking two units, or opting for upgraded floor plates priced above AED 2M, qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa with family eligibility. Retail floor plates at AED 2.5M also clear the threshold.

Sheikh Zayed Road: Why the Address Matters for Daily Life and Long-Term Yield

Sheikh Zayed Road is Dubai's principal real estate spine the E11 corridor that links the matured western waterfront (Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah) with the emerging southern growth zone (Expo City, Palm Jebel Ali, Al Maktoum International Airport). RAW District sits directly on this corridor with metro access via the Red Line. From the project, residents reach Expo City and Palm Jebel Ali in about 10 minutes, Dubai Marina in 15, Palm Jumeirah in 20, and Al Maktoum International Airport in 25 minutes; Abu Dhabi is 30 minutes south and Dubai International Airport (DXB) is about 50 minutes north. The metro bridge means a resident can be at JLT, DMCC, or Internet City inside 20–25 minutes without ever moving a car. For Indian-buyer end-users this enables real metro-led daily commuting; for investors it draws a tenant pool from JAFZA, Expo City, DWC, and the Sheikh Zayed Road corporate spine.

Closing: Phase Available, Two Payment Routes, and What to Do Next

Inventory is currently in the launch phase, with EOI bookings open and limited Sheikh Zayed Road frontage stock. Buyers can choose between the Standard 50/50 plan (50% during construction, 50% on completion at Q1 2029) and the Post-Handover 60/40 plan (60% during construction, 40% payable over three years to 2032). The Post-Handover option is structured for NRI buyers timing instalments against rental income from the unit itself.
