Architecture of Raw District by Imtiaz Developments
The building is set up as a composition of discrete, rectangular volumes that have deliberately jumped in relation to each other, creating a dynamic and recognizable silhouette. The primary façade covering consists of rough, tactile concrete with waterfalls of green on regressing levels and the podium, underlining the biophilic design philosophy. The upper volumes carry the brand with self-confidence and form a clear termination of the composition from the Sheikh Zayed Road. This architectural approach reflects the belief that authenticity is the ultimate luxury. The design is intended as a landmark for Downtown Jebel Ali.
Imtiaz Developments is the developer of this project and is known for qualitative and innovative projects in Dubai. The building has various amenities such as a co-working space, restaurants, a gym and a games room, which contribute to a vibrant community. In addition, there are special spaces such as a gallery for the Masih Imtiaz Art Collection, a shared dining table called The District Table and a cycling studio called Raw Theory. These facilities are not standard, but contribute to the unique identity of the project. There is also a coffee bar called the 6AM Coffee Club.

The 60/40 payment plan at Raw District
The payment plan for Raw District is set up as a 60/40 distribution, which means that 60% of the purchase price is paid during construction and the remaining 40% at handover. The initial deposit is 20% of the total price. This plan allows buyers to spread the payment over the construction period, thus reducing the financial burden. The payments are linked to building mileage, so buyers have certainty about the progress of the project. The exact payment schedule is provided upon purchase and may vary depending on the chosen unit.
Buyers are guided by a registered real estate agent with a RERA licence registered with the Dubai Land Department. They do not have to contact the developer themselves; the real estate agent regulates the entire purchase process and ensures a smooth handling of the payment plan. This provides additional security and convenience for buyers, especially for international investors who are not familiar with local procedures. The real estate agent can also advise on the best unit choice and assists in legal and administrative handling. The purchase process is smooth and transparent, without unexpected obstacles.
