Safa Gate
A single DAMAC apartment tower on Sheikh Zayed Road at the edge of Safa Park. In November 2026 DAMAC quoted one-bedroom apartments from AED 2,149,000, with handover in Q4 2029.
What works
- A central position on Sheikh Zayed Road beside Safa Park, five minutes from City Walk on DAMAC's figures.
- DAMAC and Property Finder agree on handover in the fourth quarter of 2029.
- A long construction period, with Property Finder showing most of the price payable before completion.
What to weigh
- One and two-bedroom apartments were at the paid expression of interest stage in November 2026, without unit-level prices or sizes.
- DAMAC published no payment plan; the 20/60/20 plan comes from Property Finder only.
- The only three-bedroom unit listed was priced at AED 15,999,000, well above the smaller apartments per square foot.
Volta
A 60-storey DAMAC tower on Sheikh Zayed Road with a fitness-led amenity plan. In November 2026 DAMAC listed one one-bedroom apartment at AED 2,457,000, with handover shown as Q2 2029.
What works
- A central Sheikh Zayed Road address, five minutes from The Dubai Mall on DAMAC's figures.
- A fitness-led amenity plan with a climbing wall, boxing ring, jogging track and two pools.
- Generous one-bedroom layout: the unit on offer is 1,011 sq ft with two bathrooms.
What to weigh
- DAMAC listed only one unit in November 2026, and Property Finder marked developer stock as sold out.
- Handover is Q2 2028 on DAMAC's project page and Property Finder, but Q2 2029 on DAMAC's unit card; confirm it in the sale agreement.
- 40% of the price is due on completion, so plan the final payment or a mortgage in good time.
