DIFC Launches ‘The Residences’ in New Zabeel District

Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has announced The Residences, the first residential development to be launched in Phase A of the newly introduced DIFC Zabeel District.

The project is being developed and managed by DIFC Developments. It is designed to support a modern lifestyle by combining work, wellbeing, and culture in one integrated urban community.

The Residences will include two residential towers with a total of 463 homes. DIFC said the development reflects the high standards the centre is globally known for, with a focus on long-term quality and thoughtful design.

Saleh Al Akrabi, Chief Real Estate Officer at DIFC Investments, said the project is a major step in DIFC’s transformation into a destination where people can live, work, and thrive. He added that the development aims to set new benchmarks for Dubai’s next growth phase, bringing together design excellence, wellbeing, and strong connectivity.

DIFC also confirmed that the Zabeel District will be connected to future city infrastructure, including access to the Dubai Loop, and will have smooth connectivity to major road networks, making travel across Dubai easier.

The DIFC Zabeel District will span 7.1 million sq. ft. and have a total gross floor area of 17.7 million sq. ft. DIFC described it as the largest demand-led expansion of a financial centre in the region, with an estimated gross development value of more than AED 100 billion.

Sales for The Residences will begin on 12 February, while registrations of interest are currently open.
