Artistry Two Residences

Select Group’s second d3 move, with a fresher and more social tone

Artistry Two Residences extends Select Group’s presence in Dubai Design District, but it does not read like a simple copy of Artistry One. If Artistry One felt like the cleaner patrimonial-d3 entry, Artistry Two pushes the communal and lifestyle side more openly. Officially, the scheme offers one-, two- and three-bedroom residences plus four-bedroom duplex penthouses in a tower rising 37 floors above the city.

Commercially, Artistry Two is clearly live, officially marked Available - Off Plan, and Select Group’s own current listings place the entry point around AED 2.165M for a one-bedroom unit. That puts it slightly above Artistry One on absolute entry price, while still keeping it relevant for buyers who want relatively early-cycle exposure to recent d3 stock with a more social product angle.

What actually sets it apart

Artistry Two shares a lot of the same backbone as Artistry One: d3 centrality, skyline views towards Burj Khalifa and Downtown, a 50/50 payment plan, and a design-led product language. The difference is more about emphasis. The official page leans more heavily into resident lounges, co-working spaces, sun decks, family leisure zones and padel courts, with the infinity lap pool and fitness suite placed on the 22nd floor. In other words, the project is trying to feel more like a day-to-day urban club than a purely formal premium tower.

The upper duplex penthouses remain part of the patrimonial case, with official penthouse sizes of roughly 4,639 to 7,767 sq.ft and private plunge pools. But for most buyers, the investment logic will still come back to d3’s location profile and the project’s ability to hold relevance as a central premium residential option.

Why the micro-market still makes sense

d3 keeps the same structural advantage seen on Artistry One: fast access to Downtown, Business Bay, DIFC and key road networks, while still holding a distinct district identity. That tends to attract a more selective and often more international demand base. For end-users, the location is easy to understand. For investors, the rental depth is real, but it is premium urban demand rather than budget demand, so pricing discipline still matters.

Where the project is strong

• A very recent launch within the Select Group cycle, which can matter for buyers who want earlier market entry.
• An official direct-stock entry point around AED 2.165M, which remains understandable for d3.
• The same balanced 50/50 structure that made Artistry One financially easier to underwrite than many off-plan launches.
• Estimated service charges around AED 19 to AED 22 per sq.ft, still reasonable by premium central-Dubai standards.
• A stronger lifestyle-community angle through co-working, wellness, family zones and padel amenities.

What deserves caution

• It is the newer release, so the market has less time to price and absorb it than Artistry One.
• The d3 thesis is attractive, but it is still a premium urban thesis, not a mass-market one.
• Buyers focused primarily on size-per-dirham will find more expansive options elsewhere in Dubai.

How to read the payment plan

The structure mirrors Artistry One: AED 50,000 on reservation, 20% on registration, then 10% at six, twelve and eighteen months, with the final 50% on handover. For disciplined investors, that is a useful balance between commitment and flexibility. For end-users, it gives breathing room before final financing. As always, the real issue is not the reservation amount; it is being genuinely ready for the back-end 50%.

Who it suits best

Artistry Two is a fit for buyers who want recent d3 stock, a more social product than a purely formal premium building, and a central address that can work for both use and resale. It suits investors seeking differentiated urban Dubai exposure and end-users who place centrality high on the priority list. It is less suited to buyers who only want fully proven districts or headline yield from day one.

Bottom line

Artistry Two Residences is not a lazy sequel. It keeps the same d3 backbone but packages it with a newer, more community-oriented and more lifestyle-driven identity. For a portfolio looking beyond conventional Downtown product, it is a credible addition — provided the buyer understands that d3 is a quality thesis, not a discount one.
