Dubai has long been home to iconic developments, but Atélis by Meraas at Dubai Design District (D3) redefines what it means to live in a design-led community. Rising along the waterfront, Atélis blends architectural innovation, cultural vibrancy, and premium amenities into one of the most anticipated residential launches in the city.

With 280 residences - from 1-4 bedroom apartments to Sky Villas and Penthouses - Atélis is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle choice for those who want to live at the heart of Dubai’s creative hub, surrounded by art, fashion, and design.

What is Atélis by Meraas?


Atélis is a 45-storey residential tower featuring 280 residences designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the architectural firm behind landmarks such as Burj Khalifa. The tower’s design draws inspiration from the desert flower, with flowing balconies that resemble delicate petals.

The development offers a carefully curated unit mix:

  • 1BR – avg. 938 sq.ft.
  • 2BR – avg. 1,448 sq.ft.
  • 2BR + Maid – avg. 1,751 sq.ft.
  • 3BR + Maid – avg. 2,334 sq.ft.
  • 4BR + Maid – avg. 3,103 sq.ft.
  • Sky Villas – ~6,361 sq.ft.
  • Penthouses – ~6,765 sq.ft.

Every residence is built to maximize waterfront views of Dubai Creek and the city skyline, with premium interiors, expansive layouts, and contemporary finishes.

Dubai Design District - A Creative Hub for Living and Investing


Located along Dubai Creek, Dubai Design District (D3) has become the city’s cultural heart — home to global fashion houses, design studios, art galleries, and world-class dining.

Living at Atélis means being part of this vibrant ecosystem:

  • A lifestyle surrounded by creativity and innovation.
  • Walkable access to cafés, galleries, and boutiques.
  • Connectivity to Downtown Dubai and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.

D3 isn’t just about work - it’s about living in a dynamic, cosmopolitan community that attracts both residents and investors seeking something beyond conventional real estate.

Architecture & Design of Atélis


Atélis stands as an architectural statement. Its flowing balconies and façade, inspired by the desert flower, symbolize both resilience and elegance.

Inside, residences are designed with open layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, and luxury finishes such as stone accents and premium fixtures. The interiors mirror the ethos of D3: modern, creative, and refined.

This architectural identity positions Atélis as not just another residential tower, but a landmark in Dubai’s evolving skyline.

Lifestyle & Amenities


Atélis offers a suite of amenities curated for urban living:

  • Resort-style pools: adult infinity pool, kids’ pools, sunken seating.
  • Leisure spaces: cabanas, gardens, and reading lawns.
  • Wellness facilities: fully equipped gym with skyline views, spa treatment rooms.

The Meraas Advantage - Reputation & Lifestyle


Meraas has established itself as one of Dubai’s most respected developers, with communities like City Walk, Bluewaters, La Mer, and Port de La Mer. Each project emphasizes lifestyle-driven living, design excellence, and cultural integration.

With Atélis, Meraas extends this legacy into Dubai Design District, offering residents not just homes but a complete lifestyle in a global creative hub.

Investment Potential of Atélis in D3

  • Limited supply: Only 280 residences in one of Dubai’s most dynamic cultural districts.
  • Developer credibility: Meraas projects historically retain strong long-term value.
  • Dubai 2040 alignment: Atélis fits Dubai’s vision of cultural and lifestyle-driven districts.

Comparing Atélis with Other Meraas Developments


Meraas has delivered distinctive communities across Dubai:

  • City Walk - urban lifestyle hub.
  • Bluewaters - island living with global landmarks like Ain Dubai.
  • Central Park at City Walk - green community focus.

Atélis stands apart by being the first major residential icon within D3, directly integrated into the design and cultural hub of the city.

Dubai 2040 Vision - Atélis’ Place in the Master Plan


Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan emphasizes creating sustainable, creative, and lifestyle-oriented districts. Dubai Design District plays a central role in this vision - not just as a work hub, but as a cultural and residential ecosystem.

Atélis embodies this vision, blending luxury real estate with cultural vibrancy, and positioning itself as a magnet for both residents and investors.
