For buyers in the AED 2M range — three launches worth your attention. Compare them below, then open the full brief for any.

Three ways to play it

If you're looking around the AED 2M range

Three launches I'd put in front of any serious buyer right now — a prestige beachside home, a larger furnished home by the Metro, and a blue-chip Emaar address in Expo City. Compare them, then open the full brief for any below.

How to choose: All three are rental plays, aimed at different tenants. 113 Residences (IMAN) is the premium, beachside play — branded Versace homes for executives at Media City, Internet City, Google, Microsoft and the Shahrukhz by Danube tower. RAW District (Imtiaz) is the high-yield, mass-demand play — a bigger, furnished home by the Metro for the Jebel Ali Free Zone, JLT and Marina workforce. Terra Woods (Emaar) is the blue-chip play — the safest brand, on a Metro station beside the new Expo Mall and World Trade Centre, on a light 80/20 plan.

⏳ Heads up — RAW District EOIs close Wednesday at midnight.
