# The Residences by DIFC ## DIFC Zabeel District, Dubai > The first homes in DIFC Zabeel District — two sculpted towers above a 2 km green loop in the heart of Dubai. **Canonical source** : https://withlevel8.com/en/projets/the-residences-by-difc **Locale** : en **Entry price** : 2.60 M AED **Est. gross yield** : 6.0 — 8.0 % **Handover** : Q4 2029 **Bedrooms** : 1 – 4BR + duplex penthouses ## TL;DR The first residential addresses to rise within the DIFC Zabeel District — a 660,000 m² mixed-use extension of the region's foremost MEASA financial hub — The Residences by DIFC unfurl two signature towers above a landscaped podium and a sculpted arrival courtyard. Views sweep across the Burj Khalifa, Downtown, and the full breadth of the Dubai skyline. Hotel-inspired interiors, a curated material palette, and a bespoke amenity collection — resort pool, clubhouse, padel and squash courts, private cinema — converge into a living experience conceived for global executives and the most discerning of residents. --- The Residences by DIFC are the flagship residential debut of DIFC Zabeel District, a 17.7-million-sqft mixed-use expansion that re-imagines how Dubai's financial centre extends beyond commerce into a fully integrated urban environment. Two slender towers, unified by a landscaped podium and a sculptural arrival courtyard, anchor the new district's residential quarter. The architecture is defined by restraint. GRC panels evoke natural stone, bronze-toned aluminium frames the floor-to-ceiling glazing, and rhythmic detailing replaces ornament. Inside, hospitality-inspired interiors prioritise proportion, light and timeless materiality — homes that feel quietly assured rather than trend-driven. Daily life unfolds around the Inner Circle, a continuous 2 km landscaped loop activated with sports nodes, pop-up retail and public art. Above, the podium hosts a resort-style pool with cabanas, a family pool with kids' splash pad, a state-of-the-art clubhouse with gym and yoga studio, padel and squash courts, a private cinema, a kids' club and generous resident lounges configured for both focus and gathering. The location is its own argument. The towers sit on Al Mustaqbal Street, minutes from Burj Khalifa, Downtown, DIFC Gate District and Sheikh Zayed Road, with the Museum of the Future, Dubai Frame and Jumeirah Beach all within a short drive — a central pivot between historic and contemporary Dubai. ## Design philosophy A restrained approach to materiality and detail ensures a sense of enduring quality. Crafted finishes and carefully considered spatial interfaces define interiors conceived for those who appreciate elegance, serenity, and the quiet assurance of spaces designed with intention and permanence. --- ## Citable facts - **Entry price** : 2.60 M AED - **Gross yield** : 6.0 — 8.0 % - **Payment plan** : 50 / 50 — 5% reservation, 45% during construction (Oct-26 to Jun-29), 50% on completion Q4 2029, plus 5% RORP fee - **Handover** : Q4 2029 - **Location** : DIFC Zabeel District, Dubai - **Taxation** : 0% tax on rental income and capital gains (Dubai) ## Highlights - First-ever residential address within DIFC Zabeel District - Two signature towers united by a landscaped podium and a sculpted arrival courtyard - Direct access to the 2 km Inner Circle green walkway - Resort pool with private cabanas, a family pool, and a children's splash pad - Clubhouse with premium gym, yoga studio, padel and squash courts - Private cinema, kids' club and curated resident lounges - Framed view corridors over Burj Khalifa, Downtown and the Art Pavilion - Walkable to the AI Campus, Innovation Hub and curated retail spine ## Amenities Infinity pool · Kids pool · Gym · Yoga studio · Padel court · Squash court · Cinema · Concierge · Landscaped gardens · Co-working lounge ## Nearby - Burj Khalifa — 5 min - Dubai Mall — 5 min - DIFC — 5 min - Dubai International Airport (DXB) — 15 min - Jumeirah Beach — 15 min - Nearest school — 10 min - Nearest hospital — 10 min --- ## FAQ ### What is the entry price at The Residences by DIFC?
