The payment plan
Not published. The project sold out on its launch day.
Remember the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4 per cent is payable on top of the purchase price, along with a AED 250 title deed fee and roughly AED 4,000 plus VAT to the registration trustee on any sale above AED 500,000. Those are the DLD’s published figures and they apply to every property purchase in Dubai.
What is actually there
Outdoor gym, barbecue pavilion, outdoor co working, a half basketball court, a padel court, yoga lawn, hydrotherapy pool, sensory garden, family pool, outdoor cinema, sculpture garden, labyrinth garden, a design club and a library.
Downtown Jebel Ali in short

Our read on Raw District by Imtiaz
A same day sell out on a AED 2 billion project is a real market signal, not a marketing line, because three separate publications reported it. What it means practically is that there is no primary stock. Anything offered to you now is an assignment from an original buyer, and assignment terms, transfer fees and developer consent all matter more than the brochure. Note also that the handover date of Q1 2029 comes from Gulf News rather than the developer’s project page, which publishes no status field at all. The amenity brief is the most distinctive in the portfolio, a padel court, a labyrinth garden and a design club are not standard Dubai fare.
Residency
The ten year UAE Golden Visa threshold is AED 2 million of property and it did not change in 2026. Separately, in April 2026 the minimum property value for the two year investor visa was removed for sole owners, and the joint ownership floor came down to AED 400,000 per investor. Whether a specific unit here clears the Golden Visa threshold depends on the unit, so ask us to check it against the price you are actually being quoted.
