District Mall at Raw District II by Imtiaz Developments
Seventeen retail units are released at District Mall, from AED 1,798,626 for 454 square feet. They sit across two retail levels at the base of Raw District II on Sheikh Zayed Road, with the Dubai Metro a walk through the park on one side and an office tower and a residential tower directly above.
If you are buying retail, three things decide whether the unit works: who walks past, who can reach you, and who is already there before anyone travels. This address answers all three from different directions, which is the reason to look at it rather than the marketing around it.

The rate per square foot runs from AED 3,255 to AED 3,962, with a median of AED 3,461. The larger the unit, the lower the rate: the 1,831 sq ft unit prices at AED 3,255 per square foot while the 454 sq ft units price at AED 3,962. That is the single most useful thing on this page for a buyer comparing units, and it points in a direction most people do not expect — if your operation fits the bigger floor plate, the bigger unit is the better buy per foot, and there are two of them.

Option 2 carries a 10% price increase. On the entry unit that is about AED 180,000 for deferring 40% of the price over three years after you take the keys. Whether that is worth paying depends entirely on what the unit earns from handover — a let unit servicing its own instalments is a different proposition from one you trade from yourself, and the two plans separate sharply once rent is in the model. Bring us the intended use and we will run both.

Footfall
Resident and working population above the units. Raw District II is two towers on one podium: Tower A residential, Tower B offices, with a co-working ecosystem, modular offices and a shared creative floor between them. That population arrives before any external footfall does, and it is there every working day. For an F&B or convenience operator that is the base load a retail unit is underwritten by.
The metro, a park away. The station sits on the far side of Flame Tree Park by Imtiaz — 80,000 square feet of flame trees between the district and the platform. Commuters cross the park in both directions, which converts a transport link into a pedestrian route past the units rather than a car park.
Sheikh Zayed Road frontage. Ten of the seventeen units face SZR directly. This is the corridor that connects Dubai Marina, Business Bay and Downtown to the northeast with Expo City, Al Maktoum International Airport and Palm Jebel Ali to the southwest, and it carries that traffic past the front of the building.
Two levels, not a strip. Imtiaz's retail floor plates place retail on both the ground floor and Podium 1, with the arcade and social lobby running between them. Five units face the arcade rather than the road, which suits an operator who wants dwell time over exposure — a different business from the SZR-facing units, and priced accordingly.
