About Dubai Design District

Dubai Design District (d3), a visionary initiative launched by TECOM Group in 2013, was created to serve as a dedicated hub for the design, fashion, architecture, and art industries in the region. It represents a key element of the Dubai Plan 2021, which aims to position the emirate as a global center for creativity and innovation. Since its inception, d3 has grown into a vibrant ecosystem where emerging designers, established brands, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals converge to collaborate and innovate.

The first phase of d3 was completed in 2015, featuring 11 architecturally distinctive buildings that house a mix of premium office spaces, stylish retail outlets, and dynamic co-working environments. These facilities are designed to cater to businesses of all sizes — from start-ups and boutique design studios to international corporations — fostering a flexible and inspiring work culture.

The district is designed not only as a place of work but also as a cultural destination. It features a variety of public art installations, curated exhibitions, and creative spaces that enrich the urban landscape and encourage artistic expression. Recreational amenities such as The Block, a unique outdoor leisure area made from repurposed industrial materials, offer residents and visitors a space to relax, socialize, and engage with the community.

With additional development phases underway, d3 continues to expand its offerings, aiming to cement Dubai’s reputation as a global capital for design and innovation.
