Chelsea Residences
Chelsea FC branded apartment towers in Dubai Maritime City. DAMAC listed one- and two-bedroom homes from AED 2,457,000 in November 2026, with handover dates of Q4 2029 and Q2 2030.
What works
- A recognisable football brand, with facilities designed around it that set the towers apart from other launches in Dubai Maritime City.
- A sea-facing site on the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, about 20 minutes by car from Dubai International Airport on DAMAC's figures.
- 40% of the price is due on completion, so a large share is paid only once the building is finished.
What to weigh
- Handover is Q2 2030 for one-bedroom and Q4 2029 for two-bedroom homes on DAMAC's cards, and Q4 2029 on Property Finder. Confirm the date in the sale agreement.
- The cheapest listed units work out at roughly AED 3,060 to 3,180 per sq ft, high for a district that is still largely under construction.
- Property Finder showed developer stock as sold out on 13 November 2026, while DAMAC's site still listed 20 units.
Shahrukhz Residences by Danube
A furnished waterfront tower by Danube in Dubai Maritime City, launched in 2026 with apartments from AED 1.65 million, penthouses already sold out and handover set for Q4 2029.
What works
- Waterfront position in Dubai Maritime City, which Danube puts eight minutes from Dubai World Trade Centre and ten from Burj Khalifa.
- Sold fully furnished, according to Danube, which suits a buyer planning to let the unit on completion.
- A range of furnished apartments, from studios of about 400 sq ft to three-bedroom flats of about 1,500 sq ft, per Property Finder.
What to weigh
- Handover is Q4 2029 according to Danube but Q2 2030 according to Property Finder.
- The payment plan is published three different ways (30/70, 10/20/70 and 70/30); confirm the schedule in writing.
