Meraas unveils Atélis at D3: A masterpiece at waterfront luxury in Dubai's creative heart
The first building in d3 located on the Creekside shoreline and providing stunning views, Atélis at d3 features a unique configuration of 280 residences with a range of contemporary one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments. Inspired by the beauty of the UAE's desert flower, the tower boasts a distinctive facade defined by curved, petal-like balconies. These carefully staggered terraces not only create a visually striking appearance but also provide shade, enhancing the building's environmental performance while offering panoramic views of the waterfront and Dubai's iconic skyline.
Atélis at d3 includes three exclusive duplex sky villas, each of which features a private terrace overlooking the stunning cityscape along with two penthouses replete with double-height living spaces and a statement staircase. This unparalleled combination of space, design, and breathtaking views firmly establishes Atélis at d3 as one of Dubai's most sophisticated and sought-after addresses. This coveted project also enjoys a prime location, with sweeping views of the newly developed waterfront and Dubai Creek to the north. To the east, it overlooks the tranquil Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, while the dynamic Downtown Dubai district unfolds to the west.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: 'We are thrilled to unveil an architectural marvel like Atélis at d3, marking a new era for the city's creative hub. This iconic tower is destined to set new benchmarks for elevated living, further upholding the dynamic urban landscape of Dubai. Its design embodies the innovation and creativity that defines our city, and we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to Dubai's Economic Agenda D33 and the 2040 Urban Master Plan through this exceptional project.'
Atélis at d3 fosters an immersive experience of tranquillity, wellness, and recreation, enhanced by a resort-like ambiance. The project offers three floors of amenities, with co-working spaces, entertainment room, children's learning area, and a multi-purpose room that extends to the outdoor gardens on the ground floor. One entire floor features spa and wellness amenities, including a state-of-the-art gym as well as an infinity pool with lounges and a reading lawn, further blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
Atélis forms part of d3's upcoming expansion, which will play a vital role in meeting the demand from global customers in the design, fashion, and creative industries. The expansion project, which includes the development of six Grade-A office buildings, will add more than 500,000 sq.ft. of gross leasable area (GLA) to the district, cementing d3's appeal as the destination of choice for creative minds from around the world.
With an investment of AED 825 million, the new development will feature office spaces built in line with LEED certification standards, offering stunning views of the Dubai skyline including the iconic Burj Khalifa, and is set for completion by H1 2028. The project will also include sports facilities, community spaces, ample parking, fine dining options, and an extended promenade, complementing the surrounding residential developments.
Meraas' projects form a unique blend of people-centric communities with a strong foundation in wellness and sustainability, set against carefully planned master communities that are pivotal to realising Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan, and Atélis at d3 is no different. Committed to luxury, exclusivity, and privacy, this new address is slated to be part of one of the most bustling global creative hubs, d3, home to some of the world's leading creative brands, designers, studios, and entrepreneurs.

UAE leads key markets in HNW allocation to sustainable investments
High-net-worth investors in the UAE allocate 27 per cent of their portfolios to sustainable investments, the highest among all eight markets surveyed, a report showed on Tuesday. According Standard Chartered's latest Sustainable Banking Report 2025, 87 per cent of UAE investors are interested in transition investing, broadly in line with the global average. The report, titled 'Transition investing: the next wealth frontier?' is based on a survey of high-net-worth individuals across the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Mainland China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore. It explores how investors are approaching the shift to a low-carbon economy and identifies the opportunities and challenges associated with transition investing. Rola Abu Manneh, Chief Executive Officer, UAE, Middle East and Pakistan, Standard Chartered, said: 'The findings reaffirm the UAE's leadership in sustainable finance, with UAE high-net-worth investors allocating the highest share of their portfolios to transition investments across all surveyed markets. This growing momentum supports the country's Net Zero 2050 vision and reflects a broader shift towards low-carbon, future-focused investment strategies. At Standard Chartered, we are committed to enabling this transition by providing the insights and solutions that help investors capitalise on emerging opportunities and contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable economy.' The UAE's strong allocation is mirrored in the specific investment themes gaining prominence across the country. UAE investors are particularly focused on high-impact investment themes that align with the UAE's energy diversification goals and broader climate commitments. Green hydrogen (51 per cent), carbon markets (48 per cent), and carbon capture and storage (47 per cent) emerged as the most compelling areas of interest, reflecting a growing focus on real economy solutions that support the transition to a low-carbon future. While investor appetite is strong, the research identifies key barriers slowing broader capital deployment into transition strategies including higher risks (45 per cent) and limited access to credible products (36 per cent). These findings suggest that unlocking further capital will depend on building trust, enhancing product transparency, and improving access to well-structured solutions. Although interest in the UAE and other surveyed markets is high, the research also reveals a broader knowledge gap. Only a small proportion of global investors (15 per cent) were able to clearly define the concept of transition investing before being presented with a formal definition and examples. This highlights the ongoing need for investor education and clearer market guidance. To help bridge this gap, Standard Chartered has launched a Transition Investing Guide designed to support clients in assessing credible opportunities and contributing meaningfully to the global transition.
