Unveiled earlier this year, Design Quarter at d3 comprises a collection of 558 carefully designed one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
These are spread across three buildings, one low-rise and two towering skyscrapers, within a landscaped podium.
This elevated podium serves as a communal area, linking the residential towers to form a social hub for the residents.
This will include co-working spaces, an indoor-outdoor gym, pool facilities, barbecue areas and zones for children’s activities.
D3 is home to some of the world’s leading creative brands, designers, studios and entrepreneurs and features a blend of high-end fashion stores, art galleries, design and creative institutes as well as a diverse culinary scene.
To ensure a car-free and pedestrian-friendly environment, car parking will be provided for the residential area through controlled access podium levels.
