Adil H.

I have been in and out of many towers, my experience is diverse as some towers are simply made once and never properly looked after and there are a few that do have decent maintenance but are slow to process and identify things. However, D1 is in my own experience so well managed and made that everything about it exudes the perfectionism it wants to attain.

I am living in D1 tower from 5 years now and looked for other options on all around dubai including palm and Burj Khalifa. Nothing comes close to this tower. Super mentained and super looks. Versace next door is cherry on the cake. I dont know why some XXXXXX gave it a low rating.

Yass A.

I have been living in this building since 2014 and I am loving it. Arguably one of the best buildings in Dubai. Smack located on the Creek where nothing obstruct the view of the units facing the Creek. Quality of the building materials is excellent. Magnificent swimming pool and excellent recent and all day grocery store. Not to mention adjacent to the iconic Palazzio Versace with excellent resturants and night clubs.
