Raw District Phase 2 at Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubai – Imtiaz Development

Description

Raw District Phase 2 is the latest release in Imtiaz Developments’ Raw District concept in Downtown Jebel Ali. The development sits directly on Sheikh Zayed Road and builds on the culture-first identity of the first phase. It adds new residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces to the community, shaped around the people who live there rather than a standard list of amenities.

Imtiaz Developments is a Dubai-based developer with a history that goes back to 1993. The company manages a portfolio worth more than AED 10 billion across over 40 projects and more than 2,000 delivered units. CEO Masih Imtiaz leads the company, which handles design, construction, joinery, aluminium and glass work, investment, and after-sales service in-house. This structure gives Imtiaz close control over every stage of Raw District Phase 2.

The building rises from stacked, offset volumes instead of one straight tower. This creates a layered look along Sheikh Zayed Road. Bronze and grey glazing catches the light throughout the day, while deep cantilevers and recessed balconies add shadow and depth to the facade. A concrete-grey base connects the design to the raw, unfinished style found across the wider community.

Inside, apartments combine exposed concrete and raw timber with brass accents, leather finishes, and layered lighting. Every unit comes with smart home systems, fitted kitchen islands, and built-in wardrobe storage. Raw District Phase 2 targets young professionals, creatives, and investors who want exposure to Dubai’s growing rental market in Jebel Ali.

A Prime Address Between Dubai’s Biggest Growth Zones

Raw District Phase 2 is located close to Dubai Marina, Expo City, Palm Jebel Ali, and the future Al Maktoum International Airport. This places the development in one of the fastest-growing parts of Dubai. The building connects directly to the metro station next door, so residents do not have to rely only on the road network for daily travel.

This location suits residents who want quick access to Dubai’s key growth areas while staying close to established districts like Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. It also gives investors a strong entry point into long-term demand in Downtown Jebel Ali.

Minutes Away From Everywhere That Matters

• Palm Jebel Ali: 10 minutes
• Expo City: 10 minutes
• Dubai Marina: 15 minutes
• Palm Jumeirah: 20 minutes
• Al Maktoum International Airport: 25 minutes
• Dubai International Airport: 30 minutes
• Abu Dhabi: 50 minutes

Direct metro access at the doorstep adds a car-free option for residents heading to Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, and other districts along the line.

Live, Work, and Play: Amenities Built for Daily Life

Raw District Phase 2 moves away from a standard amenity list and builds spaces around daily use. Distrikt Table forms the centre of the community as a shared dining space with open kitchens. 6 AM Coffee Club serves as the morning meeting spot for residents. Raw Theory is a membership-based fitness space with a dedicated cycling studio, and Raw Lab offers print and fabrication facilities for creative projects.

Coworking runs through Raw Station, a full floor of desks, private offices, and meeting rooms, along with The Studio for podcast, media, and photography work. The Vault handles deliveries and packages as a logistics hub. The Readers’ Club offers a library and reading room for quiet time, and Inner Circle provides sunken seating away from the main traffic of the building.

Other amenities include indoor and outdoor cinemas, adult and children’s swimming pools, pool terraces with shallow water features, an outdoor gym, cold plunge pools, a yoga and observation deck, and zero-gravity nap pods. The Deck, a rooftop pool space, gives residents a place to relax above the surrounding skyline.

Raw District Phase 2 also includes Raw Stay, a set of serviced apartments owned and run by Imtiaz. This gives residents and visiting guests a flexible stay option within the same community. In total, the development offers more than 60 lifestyle, wellness, business, and social spaces, spanning the office gallery lobby, residential gallery, wellness and fitness floor, business and productivity hub, outdoor areas, and social hub.

Inside the Masterplan: A Community Built in Layers

The masterplan sits around an active podium at street level, where retail, lobbies, and communal spaces connect directly with Sheikh Zayed Road and the nearby metro station. Above this base, residential and commercial volumes shift position from one another, framing a central landscaped court that links the different parts of the community while giving each block its own character.

Greenery runs through the architecture, with cascading plants, planted terraces at the setbacks, and trees at podium level that soften the concrete and glass exterior. Commercial and coworking spaces sit next to the residential towers, giving Raw District Phase 2 a mixed-use layout that supports both living and working at the same address.

Unit Types and Starting Prices: Something for Every Buyer

Raw District Phase 2 offers a mix of residential and commercial units, giving buyers a choice between end-use living and investment options within one development.

• Studio: AED 666,000
• 1-Bedroom: AED 949,000
• 2-Bedroom: AED 1.55 million
• 3-Bedroom: AED 1.90 million
• Office Spaces: AED 1.38 million

Studio and 1-bedroom apartments come with fitted kitchen islands, smart wardrobes and walk-in closet storage, and integrated home automation. Larger 2 and 3-bedroom units follow the same design approach with extra living space suited to families and long-term residents. Office units sit within the development’s coworking and commercial floors, giving businesses a base directly connected to the residential community.

Flexible Payment Plans to Suit Every Buyer

Raw District Phase 2 offers two payment plan options, giving buyers a choice between a construction-linked schedule and a longer post-handover option. Both plans give buyers room to plan their cash flow around the project timeline instead of paying the full price upfront.

50/50 Payment Plan: Buyers pay 50% of the property price during the construction period, split across set milestones as the building progresses. The remaining 50% is due on completion, set for Q1 2029. This plan suits buyers who want full ownership tied closely to the handover date and prefer to close out payments once the keys are ready.

60/40 Post-Handover Payment Plan: This plan asks for 60% of the price during construction, with the same milestone-based structure. The remaining 40% is spread over 3 years after handover, giving buyers extra time to pay off the balance while already using or renting out the unit. This option works well for buyers who want to ease the cost of ownership across a longer period, or for investors who plan to generate rental income during the post-handover phase.
