The Residences by DIFC — A New Landmark in DIFC Zabeel District
The Residences by DIFC is a premium residential development within DIFC Zabeel District — Dubai’s newest master-planned business and lifestyle destination. Conceived as a city within the city, the district sits between Downtown Dubai, Zabeel, and Sheikh Zayed Road, expanding the DIFC ecosystem into a large-scale urban quarter that integrates business, residential, retail, hospitality, and cultural functions in one cohesive master plan.
A New Power District in Central Dubai
DIFC Zabeel District is a full master plan with over AED 100 billion in development value. It will deliver 17.7 million sq.ft of total floor area across a 7.1 million sq.ft site, positioning it among the most significant urban developments launched in Dubai in recent years.
Extension of the DIFC Financial Ecosystem
Building on DIFC’s role as the Middle East’s leading financial hub, Zabeel District is designed to accommodate 42,000+ companies and a daily workforce of 125,000+ professionals. The district expands capacity for global banks, asset managers, fintech firms, family offices, legal practices, and consultancies, reinforcing DIFC’s regional and global importance.
Integrated Urban Lifestyle
Planned as a walkable, mixed-use environment, DIFC Zabeel District brings together Grade A offices, high-street retail, hotels, cultural venues, and premium residences. Landscaped public spaces and pedestrian-friendly streets connect work, living, and leisure within a single urban framework.
Limited Residential Supply at the Core
Residential development within DIFC Zabeel District is intentionally limited, with just over 4,000 residences planned across the entire master plan. This positions The Residences by DIFC as a scarce residential offering within one of Dubai’s most strategically important business districts.
A Curated Residential Offering
The Residences by DIFC presents a refined collection of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, complemented by a limited number of 3- and 4-bedroom duplex penthouses. Homes offer efficient layouts, generous living spaces, and elevated views over the surrounding city and landscaped public realms.
A Prime Location at the Heart of Dubai
DIFC Zabeel District is located west of Downtown Dubai, directly adjacent to Sheikh Zayed Road, and within walking distance and short driving proximity to Zabeel Park and the existing DIFC core. This central positioning places the district between Dubai’s primary business, cultural, and residential hubs, ensuring seamless access to the city’s most established addresses.
