What works
- A beachfront site in Dubai Harbour, opposite Dubai Marina, with JBR Walk and Dubai Marina Mall about five minutes away on DAMAC's figures.
- Under construction since April 2023 on Property Finder's record, so the project is past the earliest stage of risk.
- A private beach, sky garden and infinity pool among the shared facilities.
What to weigh
- Handover is Q3 2027 on DAMAC's project page, Q4 2028 on its unit cards and January 2027 on Property Finder. Confirm the date in the sale agreement.
- Only five developer units were listed on 13 November 2026, and four of them were penthouses priced above AED 66 million.
- Property Finder showed developer stock as sold out, with 148 resale listings, so resale may offer more choice and different prices.
