Zabeel Park, Dubai Frame and Dubai Garden Glow light park are located near The Residences DIFC Zabeel District. Zabeel Park is a large urban park with walking and running trails, playgrounds, barbecue areas and a lake. Dubai Frame is a popular attraction and tourist destination, while Dubai Garden Glow operates as a seasonal park with lighting, sculptures and interactive installations.
Within walking distance of the apartments at The Residences DIFC Zabeel District are the BurJuman and Wafi Mall shopping centres, numerous restaurants, cafes and hotels in the Dubai World Trade Centre. Properties at The Residences DIFC Zabeel District are suitable for families with children: there are schools and universities nearby, including Canadian University Dubai, as well as medical facilities such as Mediclinic City Hospital and Rashid Hospital.
The architecture of The Residences DIFC Zabeel District is modern in style: two towers with panoramic glazing are connected by a podium with landscaped terraces and a shared courtyard. The layouts of these apartments at Zabeel are designed to minimise corridor space and maximise living space. Almost all residences feature large floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies or terraces with panoramic views of Zabeel Park, Downtown Dubai and the DIFC skyline.
The apartments at The Residences DIFC Zabeel District are finished in light shades, wood, stone and neutral tones that can be easily complemented with any furniture and decor. Many of the layouts in this property in Dubai feature island work areas, built-in appliances and thoughtful storage systems. The large penthouses at The Residences DIFC Zabeel District have separate utility kitchens, which is especially convenient for families with service staff. Smart lighting and climate control systems, thoughtful lighting and modern engineering equipment make the apartments at The Residences DIFC Zabeel District comfortable for everyday use.
The project includes resort-style swimming pools with separate children's areas, a spacious fitness centre, yoga and meditation studios, saunas and steam rooms. For an active lifestyle, there are paddle tennis and squash courts. Families with children will appreciate the playrooms and outdoor playgrounds, while those who enjoy informal socialising will appreciate the specially organised barbecue areas. Residents also have access to co-working areas, separate meeting rooms, club lounges and a private cinema. Landscaped terraces and open spaces provide opportunities to spend time outdoors.
At Zabeel, the average gross rental yield is approximately 4-5% per annum. At the same time, in recent years, there has been an increase in price per square metre of around 7% and an increase in rental demand of approximately 6%. Therefore, property at The Residences DIFC Zabeel District looks like an option where rental income is combined with likely long-term growth in value. Interest-free payment plans are another argument in favour of buying an apartment at The Residences DIFC Zabeel District. DIFC offers an interest-free 70/30 plan with an initial deposit of only 5%. The completion date for this property in Dubai is scheduled for Q4 2029.
